It is a privilege to welcome retired model, comedian, and content creator Mario Adrion to The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.   

Hailing from the quaint town of Alpirsbach, Germany, Mario’s journey began at 18 when a Facebook scout catapulted him into the dazzling world of modeling. Jet-setting across continents, he carved a niche representing agencies such as ONE Management and Wilhelmina. Mario Adrion graced the campaigns of fashion giants, including Calvin Klein, Gucci, and Tommy Hilfiger. He graced the runways of both the Milan and New York Fashion Weeks. His work received accolades from Vogue and Jimmy Kimmel Live!   

In 2020, Mario relocated to Los Angeles, beginning a flourishing comedy career. He performed at iconic venues such as the Laugh Factory, the Hollywood Improv, and the Stand. He made headlines when he auditioned on American Idol and challenged Katy Perry for a model off while in a Speedo.   In the face of industry challenges, Mario transformed adversity into art, and his YouTube escapades chronicle the shift from male modeling to comedy and storytelling that featured his American Idol audition and “Brojob” video. He also hosts the UNCENSORED with Mario Adrion. The podcast features raw and crunchy conversations with guests every week. Several guests have included Godfrey, Jiaoying Summers, and Peet Montzingo.  

 In this edition of The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Mario Adrion spoke about his iconic American Idol audition. He shared insights about some of his most memorable podcast conversations.
