Joey Fatone

Singer and Host

Joey Fatone first rose to fame as a member of the record-shattering, multiplatinum boyband *NSYNC; but his career as a global pop icon was just the beginning. Over the past decade he has gone on to find success as an actor, host, Broadway star, voiceover artist, dancer, and media personality with a number of hit television shows under his belt.

At age seven, Fatone kicked off his career starring alongside Robert DeNiro in the feature film Once Upon a Time in America. Growing up he was always drawn to entertainment and at 17 he landed a gig with Universal Studios in the Beetlejuice Graveyard Revue; which was the catalyst to stardom. He met another theme park performer named Chris Kirkpatrick which would lead to his joining *NSYNC—before long they were the hottest act in the U.S., Europe and beyond. They quickly became one of the most iconic pop groups in history.

Following *NSYNC’s incredible success with albums that sold over 10 million copies and countless awards; Joey proved to be a prominent performer and personality in his own right. With projects spanning from television, film and theater, his talent has no boundaries. He hosted the popular, long-running show My Family Recipe Rocks!, which aired on the Live Well Network. The show highlighted the stories of homegrown cooks and their homemade specialties from around the country. From there, he proceeded to host the cooking competition show, Rewrapped on The Food Network.

No stranger to the screen, Joey continued his success by competing in the hit reality TV show’s from; ABC’s Dancing With The Stars to hosting NBC’s hit series, The Singing Bee and Celebrity Circus. He earned his first producer credit for the cable television series TLC’s The Singing Office, which he co-hosted alongside famed Spice Girl, Melanie Brown. In 2016, Joey went back to his roots on the big screen in My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2, portraying "cousin Angelo"; becoming an instant fan-favorite. In 2019, Fatone continued to wear his hosting hat for Game Show Networks, Common Knowledge, which is nationally syndicated on FOX stations across the country. This outstanding partnership led him to become an ambassador for the network. He continued to surprise fans on FOX's cult-show The Masked Singer and landed in fourth-place as "The Rabbit". Joey's energetic spirit is unstoppable as he taps into his entrepreneurial side with Fat Ones, a hot dog business based in Orlando, FL. Having the gift-of-gab, he naturally created an eponymous podcast with his longtime manager Joe Mulvihill, titled Two Cups of Joe with Joey Fatone and Joe Mulvihill. In November of 2019, during Epcot's Food and Wine Festival Eat and Beat series, Joey performed three days of successful shows called, Joey Fatone and Friends. Fans packed the theater and were entertained by Joey along with Chris KirkPatrick, Ryan Cabrera, Nathan Morris of BOYZ II MEN, MC Search and more. He continues to do this concept currently at Epcot, Tampa and other cities in the US.

During the pandemic, he utilized his creative time and started a music trivia show on YouTube called What Does Joey Know?; co-hosted by Jason Logan and Joe Mulvihill. He managed to build an entertainment portal and a sense of community for his dedicated fans and celebrities during uncertain times.

In 2021, Joey continued his pop status as a panelist for the Irish singing competition show Last Singer Standing. In August of that year, Joey Fatone brought together some of the biggest pop superstars for a perfect, intimate evening of pop-culture classics and fun for a sold-out residency in Las Vegas. The AFTR PRTY featured Joey Fatone, Wanya Morris, Nick Carter and AJ McLean. Fatone recently became an ambassador of Hilton Grand Vacations. Last fall Fatone co-starred in Cursed Friends on Comedy Central.

For Winterfest Boat Parade 2022 in Fort Lauderdale, he was co-grand marshal with NSYNC alum Chris Kirkpatrick and pop-icon Taylor Dayne. The third installment of My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3, where Fatone reprises his role as "cousin Angelo" was released in September 2023.

At this year's MTV VMA’s, Fatone reunited with NSYNC as presenters, causing the reunion to go viral. The buzz created by the iconic boy band perfectly segued into their first song release in 22 years, called “Better Place” that is featured on The Trolls 3 soundtrack.
