Danny Ross is a former intern and former staff member of The Opie and Anthony Show. In the past, he had done a great job with AOTM. Danny allegedly looks like the Green Goblin, and is often goofed on for his constant drinking. He once went to a baseball game with Opie and his girlfriend, where when Opie reached out to hold his girl's hand Danny reached and took it instead, walking through the crowd from a while before Opie realized. He also brought "Chocolate Rain" to the O&A show, and was caught on video playing Dance Dance Revolution. One time, he bought Anthony a universal remote as a present, which Anthony left on his table and told Danny he used it; then Danny came over and saw the remote wasn't even taken out of the box. Danny was also the Executive Producer for the Lazlow Show when it aired on XM and Sirius.

Danny appears to be one of Anthony's frequent drinking buddies and guests at The Compound. And has also been a common guest on Live from the Compound.

Danny was also a third mic on Uninformed with Bill Burr & Joe DeRosa and had a very brief promotion to co-host, for about two minutes, when DeRosa left the show early one day.

An occasional joke on the show is that when Danny is absent, it's because he's been fired. According to the September 16th broadcast of the show, Sam made a remark that Danny was no longer with Sirius XM. But on September 17th, he was heard for the first time in almost a week.

On the October 9th, 2009 show, Danny and Steve C got into another heated on-air argument. To the point that Steve admitted he wanted to beat the shit out of Danny. Danny's response was "I'll sue your ass."

One of Danny's strengths is his ability to find videos and pictures of stuff O&A are discussing on air. As of late 2011, Sam has taken Danny's spot of being in-studio. Danny then did creative work for the show. With this change, videos or any googling for the show has slowed down due to Sam's inability to google fast or find the correct thing. The boys usually tell him that Danny would have already what they needed, which is true.

On October 4th, 2011 on the After O&A Live show, After years of on-air tension, Mars and Danny blew up at each other. The fight was cut off because of Ron and Fez, but did continue after show as mentioned by Fez. The next day, while the boys were listening to clips of the fight, Danny came in to explain how the fight started. This lead to another fight between him and Mars.

Danny was fired from SiriusXM in December 2012.

Danny was hired by Lazlow to work at Rockstar Games within 48 hours of being fired. He is extremely happy at his new job. He once tweeted that it's nice to work in a team environment again.

During the July 8, 2013 show, it was suggested that Ant and Danny had a falling out. It's not known why, or even to be true.

Firing

On December 13th, 2012, within the first few minutes of the show, Opie flat out announced that Danny had been fired from the show after 8 years. This time it was not a bit. The reason for his firing had not been said, but according to Sam, the reason for his firing was funny. SiriusXM had heard that Danny was planning on bringing a porn star to a very secret One Direction event. When they heard this, Danny was called into a meeting and released shortly thereafter. On-air, it was said that he was released from the company after Scott Greenstein said that he considered Danny 'the most disrespectful person' he'd ever experienced in his professional career after the meeting. At first, Danny jokingly hinted on Twitter that it was the result of dispute with Steven Singer. In June 2013, a fan asked if Danny would return to the show with Lazlow to demo GTA V live for the boys to which he responded by saying; 'no because [Danny] wouldn't want to.'

On August 11, 2013, Danny, on his personal Facebook, gave insight on his firing from SiriusXM. He told a listener that O&A twisted the story and what they said on the air was not true. Danny says that he told SiriusXM that he was bringing an adult model. They asked how he knew his date. He said 'through the show.' Danny was told at that point that he could still attend, but alone. He also said that the part of the story where he put his feet up during the meeting is not true. According to Danny, he was fired over the phone.

Fun Facts

Danny once cried at a Metallica concert in 2005, because they played three songs that are rarely played live, as their encore. The encore consisted of Metal Militia, Dyers Eve, and a song that was not said on air. (December 19th, 2007)

On October 11, 2012, Kirk Hammett was in-studio. Danny was able to come in and ask questions because he is a fan of Metallica and a huge poster collector, and since Kirk was in to promote his book about his horror collection that consisted of a large number of posters, he was able to keep the conversation flowing. He openly admitted to Kirk that he was very nervous and thought that he'd be able to control himself after years of meeting big stars.

Has a very weird relationship with Travis. Their relationship consists of massages in the office when no one is around and collecting posters together, which also includes them sending topless pictures of themselves with their posters to each other.

Has a poster collection and loves to collect them.

Came up with the idea of doing live commentary for Back To The Future on the air. The show was called Secret Show to The Future and it originally aired on July 27, 2008. It starred Danny, Anthony, Sam, Travis and Than. It won a Best in Satellite Radio award from CrunchGear and was very liked by fans everywhere. Secret Show to The Future 2 aired November 5, 2011. This time starring Danny, Anthony and Joe DeRosa. Shirts and posters were released to promote the show.

Many fans hate him, but after talking to a few of them on the on the air, they never have a good reason to hate about him and usually just end up repeating the same thing over and over again.

Danny was responsible for making products for many things. He helped make Jimmy's posters for his comedy special "Please Be Offended", a poster for the live recording of Bob Kelly's "You Know What Dude!" podcast, plus making shirts and stickers for Anthony's Live from the Compound show. He also made posters (both regular and glow in the dark) and shirts for Secret Show to The Future 2.
