Biography[edit]
Dave Schmulenson grew up in the Chicago area, but since creating The Schmo character, has operated out of the Las Vegas region.[1] The Schmo primary website is called "theschmo312" making reference to Schmulenson's Chicago heritage in that "312" is a primary area code for telephones in that region.

The famous line delivered in nearly every interview involving The Schmo is, "I'm The Schmo, and he (or she) is the pro!"[3]
Schmulenson first conceived of the concept for a character actor-sports journalist around 2015, in an interview it was stated that, "...Me and my roommates were goofing around in Los Angeles, I put on the glasses and a jacket and one thing lead to another. The idea of the character began with things like that in 2015."[4] Additionally, the now famous yellow-glasses look are said to be an integral part of The Schmo character for Schmulenson, "When the glasses are on, I am in character, when they are not then I am not."[4]
In an interview from September 2021 with UFC fighter Sean Strickland,[5] Strickland comments that he long avoided interviews with The Schmo, despite best efforts made by Schmulenson, on the basis that:
...[this] dude has always asked me to do f***ing interviews and I never do it, I’m going to tell you why. When I was in high school, there was this f***king kid, dude, a goofy mother-f***er like this guy right here and he would have these weird f***ing voices and gimmicks and he would f*** all the women and me, I’m sitting in class thinking I want to f***ing kill this man. How the f*** does this f***ing loser, no offense Schmo, you’re a good looking guy, I’m sure you get a lot of chicks. Are you married? You’re not married. [But] you Schmo, you remind me of that f***ing kid, and that’s why Schmo, I’ve never done interviews with you.[5]
