At the time, he had no experience in radio since he only did sportswriting, which was the only thing he knew.

Personal Information
John is 57, born in New York, USA, on November 28, 1966. He is 5 ft 6 in ( Approximately. 1.68 m ) and was brought up by his mother Joan Leo Gambadoro, a homemaker.

Growing up, John dreamt of being the New York Yankees shortstop, the next Bucky Dent. However, he did not go to college and in his words, “hardly” made it through high school. In addition, John never planned to ever work as a sports talk show host. He did not know what he wanted to do when he grew up until one day at a career day in high school.
On that day, John went up to a woman who was speaking for the Smithtown News, a weekly newspaper in the area of New York. He inquired if he could write a story for the newspaper and the woman said yes. When Gambadoro saw his byline in the paper, he decided to be a sportswriter.
