Keven Undergaro is the creator of online broadcast network AfterBuzzTV as well as being a writer and producer for film and television.

Early Life
Undergaro was born into a working class family in Massachusetts, and as a youth showed more interest in video games, comic books and movies and television than school. He was an avid fan of the Adam West series Batman, and went as far as converting the family El Camino into his own personal Batmobile. He even made in-costume appearances as the Caped Crusader and scaled a 50-foot roof in college as a stunt.

Undergaro is a graduate of Saint Anselm College and majored in history. He was not ready to commit to a regular career however, and his creativity led him to aspirations to work in Hollywood. He worked as a carnival worker on a east coast in the summer to finance trips to Los Angeles to work as a television writer in the winter. He worked 20 hours a day seven days a week as a 'carnie' and sometimes slept under trucks. During those Los Angeles trips he became head writer of MTV's Singled Out.

After working for MTV Keven decided to make an independent film, which in turn left him bankrupt and homeless, not to mention out of the Hollywood game. There was a silver lining in that film failure though, as Keven met Maria Menounos, who was then a 19-year-old with epic dreams of her own. It was at that time that Keven committed to Maria's career as he strongly believed in her talents. Keven became more serious about life and business, and no longer partook the "college life" of partying. He meticulously researched all aspects of the entertainment industry and committed himself to developing Maria's brand as a journalist, author and digital pioneer.

Career
Undergaro is creator of the aforementioned AfterBuzzTV, which has become the world's largest online broadcasting network. In 2015 ABTV reached one billion downloads for the second consecutive year. He has also created Black Hollywood Live, The Popcorn Talk Network and Book Circle Online.

Keven co-created and works as executive producer, along with Julianne Hough and Maria Menounos, on the ABC series America's Dance Battle.

As for film, Undergaro wrote and directed indie comedy The Adventures of Serial Buddies, as well as served as producer on the acclaimed Netflix hit This Isn't Funny. He notably produced documentaries The Elders and Losing Lebron as well.

Keven operates as executive producer for SiriusXM's Conversations with Maria.

His newest project is The Tomorrow Show with Keven Undergaro, which is described as an overnight talk show for nocturnals, dreamers and escapists, angry loners and those with Peter Pan Syndrome.
