American Chopper
Mikey became a celebrity when he began working for O.C.C. as a secretary and custodian (or as Mikey would gleefully say, "I answer the phone and take out the trash.")[citation needed], acting as comic relief for the show. His presence also seems to have a calming effect on his father, who almost never shows the same sort of frustration he feels for Paul Jr. Mikey is often able to antagonize his father with little consequence[citation needed].
One of the best known examples of this came when Mikey and his father were building Mikey's Blues-themed chopper[citation needed]. Mikey originally wanted a seat with his and his father's faces stitched on, reflecting the "Blues Brothers" theme of the bike. However, Mikey had made a mistake in ordering it, and when the seat arrived only Paul Sr.'s face had been stitched on. Mikey and his father then entered into a heated shouting match, which culminated in Mikey stating that every time he sits down on the seat (of his father's face), he'll fart.[citation needed] This causes Senior to burst out laughing, even though he had been shouting in anger two seconds before.[citation needed]
He is now a major and popular part of the show and appears at promotional events for O.C.C.[citation needed], as well as continuing working for the family business.
Mikey and other cast-members have been spotted wearing "Mikey for President" t-shirts[citation needed], custom made shirts which features a black and white portrait of Mikey in a suit, with the letters in an American flag-style font.[citation needed]
Celebrity Family Feud
The cast of American Chopper appeared on NBC's new show Celebrity Family Feud which premiered on June 24, 2008.
