John Online

When John Mingione takes a break from fighting crime, he enjoys making others laugh. Whether it's making comedy films for his website JOHNisFUNNY.com or conducting 'man on the street' interviews for WBLI; John strives to find the 'funny' in every aspect of life. As a new addition to "BLI in the Morning with Dana and Jeffrey," John hopes to bring a fun new twist to each and every morning.

John is a recent graduate of SUNY New Paltz, where he earned his degree in Media Production. As a film student, he won several awards including a BEA (Broadcast Education Association) Award for his short form documentary, "Nobody Else But Me" as well as a cluster of awards for his comedy movie musical "All I Can Say: The Musical."

When he is not making movies, John has many other hobbies. He enjoys a wide genre of music ranging from classical symphonies to gangster rap. John plays a variety of instruments including guitar, drums, cello, and piano as well as the bass guitar. He also plays bass and sings vocals in the pop-punk band All I Can Say. Besides his passion for music, John enjoys a wide variety of athletic actives including snowboarding, basketball, racquetball, and extreme scootering. Although he can be a party-animal at times, John prefers a night in watching good movies and hanging out with friends.

Since he was a young boy, he knew he wanted to be an entertainer. To this day, John prefers to be putting on the show, rather than being in an audience.
