'FBoy Island' Star Benedict Polizzi Is Behind Those Viral "Polite Catcalling" Videos on TikTok

Benedict Polizzi, who is in the CW's 'FBoy Island' Season 3, hosts a podcast and performs stand-up comedy. Details on his life outside of the show.

The Gist:

• Benedict Polizzi is originally from Season 2 of FBoy Island, when it aired on Max.
• He is also a comedian outside of the series and you may recognize him from TikTok too.
• Some viewers think Benedict and Katie Thurston could be a solid match in Season 3 of FBoy Island.

Season 3 of FBoy Island made its way to network television on the CW and things heat up fast in the third installment.

Some of the men this time around are self-proclaimed FBoys, who have the ability to steal the $100,000 prize at the end of the season. The others are Nice Guys, who are on the show for the right reasons (to find love).

As they try to figure out who is being honest, and who is lying for the money, the ladies are forming genuine connections with some of the men.

One contestant who is already standing out from the rest is Benedict Polizzi. Mostly because you may remember him from Season 2, but also because he is a real life comedian whose comedy made him a star of works before the reality series.

Who is Benedict Polizzi from 'FBoy Island'? He's a comedian with a massive TikTok following.

Benedict is from Indiana, and when he's not attempting to woo over women on FBoy Island, he's a comedian. Though some of the guys on the show are on the program for fame and for followers, Benedict went into the third season with more than 400,000 followers on Instagram, and with more than 3 million fans on TikTok.

Benedict often shares comedy content, like his "Polite Catcalling" videos and "Who's Buying This?" series (and his sketches of him imitating people in other professions), on his public Instagram and TikTok feeds. Both accounts can be found under the @BenedictPolizzi handle. He's been performing stand-up routines since 2018 as well.

The Season 3 personality also hosts a comedy podcast called Espresso.

According to People, in his spare time, Benedict "enjoys eating rotisserie chicken in his car and biting his nails" (let's hope that's another example of him showing off his comedy chops).

When it comes to his goal on the show, Benedict previously said that he wants to "fall in love with a girl who has great eyebrows" and... to get a tan.

Is Benedict a Nice Guy, or an FBoy?

Now that viewers know why Benedict is so good at delivering laugh-out-loud one-liners in his confessionals, one question remains: did he go on the show for love, or for the chance to secure the entire $100,000 prize for himself?

While it's hard to say which side of the coin Benedict identifies with, since he's that good as presenting a good guy persona, he may just be an expert at manipulation.

For now, viewers will have to continue to see Benedict and the other guys try to prove themselves in the third season of the dating reality show. Did Benedict return to the game to find love again or to secure the bag?

Watch FBoy Island on Mondays at 8 p.m. EST on the CW.
