In 2017, Santino released ‘Home Field Advantage,’ a Showtime special. It was recorded at the Vic Theater in Andrew’s hometown of Chicago. This special is all about his life growing up, and he touches on many subjects, such as his distaste for bachelorette parties and his envy of male p### stars.
Also in 2017, Andrew performed as Mike in The Disaster Artist, a biographical comedy-drama film that details the friendship between actors Greg Sestero and Tommy Wiseau.
From 2017 to 2018, Andrew portrayed Bill Hobbs in 20 episodes of “I’m Dying Up Here,” a comedy-drama TV series that ran on Showtime. The series explored the L.A. comedy scene of the 1970s and 80s.
“[Bill Hobbs] is sardonic and quite dark at times, and I’d be a liar if I said it didn’t take a toll on me,” Santino said for Philly Voice in August 2018. ”You take stuff home with you as an actor, and I don’t think anyone is exempt from that.”

”Bobby and I joined forces because of the fans,” Andrew told High Times. He went on to say: ”We’re good friends who yell at each other, and we have a wonderfully chaotic relationship. And that’s what we put on display for the show, in addition to talking about current events and other topics in our lives.”
In October 2020, Santino and comedian Chris Distefano performed live at Circle Drive-In in Dickson City.

Gay?

On June 1, 2018, Santino replied to D’Elia on Twitter: ”THE SECRET IS OUT.”

”I’m sick of addressing the rumors,” he said on his Instagram in March 2018. ”I am not gay. No way. And nothing out there says that I am. Enough.”
