George Santos BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

George Santos is once again at the center of headlines and social storms. Just days ago he made waves with a passionate op-ed published in the South Shore Press, blasting Senator Chuck Schumer and Democrats for what he dubs the Schumer Shutdown, calling it a disgraceful political stunt that devastated New York families. In classic Santos style, his column positioned him staunchly with Trump and against the “career politicians” he accuses of political theater and hypocrisy, saying the shutdown’s aftermath is a reckoning for Democrats and painted himself as the voice of the betrayed federal worker and small business owner.

Off the op-ed page and in the world of pop culture, Santos is not shying away from his infamy but embracing it. His new podcast Pants on Fire has launched to considerable buzz, with the first episode dropping this Sunday and featuring Cameo CEO Steven Galanis. The podcast aims to be cultural, not overtly political, though as Santos himself admits, politics is never far behind. Next up on his eclectic guest wish list: Anna Delvey, Gisele Bündchen, Isaiah Washington, the Osundairo brothers from the Jussie Smollett scandal, and even Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. At his launch party in Manhattan, Santos leaned into his contradiction-laden celebrity, showing off Hermès and bedazzled loafers as he posed for cameras and assured guests that fun and “authenticity” are his new currency.

Yet, this renaissance comes with a ticking clock. Santos faces sentencing for fraud and identity theft on February 7, 2025, with a potential prison stay of two to twenty-two years, and has reportedly agreed not to appeal a sentence of up to eight years, per US News and other outlets. He admits the podcast may be short-lived if the “gauntlet drops”—a nod to his lingering legal jeopardy—but insists his legal team is exploring options to keep the show going even from behind bars.

Santos remains an object of fascination on social media. On Instagram, he recently posted a reel promoting “thought-provoking conversations” and shared his signature humor with followers. Until very recently, he was still active on Cameo, where his larger-than-life performances were raking in as much as $600,000, though he now tells fans he’s “all tied up for a bit” due to impending incarceration.

For Veterans Day Santos was seen headlining a D.C. party alongside Anna Delvey, stirring another round of memes and commentary about his knack for mingling with pop-culture outcasts. And in another public sighting, Santos, always eager for a microphone, made a brief and boisterous appearance outside the Manhattan courthouse before Trump’s arraignment, sharing the spotlight with Marjorie Taylor Greene—the TMZ-like chaos playing out exactly as one expects for this infamous character.

While no major new legal revelations have dropped in the past few days, the fallout from his Congressional expulsion and looming prison time colors every endeavor. The latest headlines—Former US Rep. George Santos Launches Pants on Fire Podcast Amid Looming Prison Sentence and George Santos Slams Schumer Over Shutdown—capture the contradictions and drama that continue to define him. For now, George Santos is uniquely, perhaps infamously, both disgraced and undaunted—recasting himself as an unlikely podcaster, critic, and pop culture court jester while the specter of his jail sentence looms ever closer.
