Danny

Leigh Daniel Avidan, more known as Danny Sexbang of the band Ninja Sex Party, commonly referred to as Danny or Dan, is a member of Game Grumps following Jon's departure from the show. He is assuming the role Jon had on the show. He was first mentioned briefly by the grumps back in the Mario Party 8 episode, "It's Retro" but then made his first actual appearance in the video Ode to Jon, and his first actual appearance as a Grump was in the Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! playthrough.

He is one of the "conductors" on the series Steam Train with Ross as his co-host.

Apparently, Danny has kept a list of what he calls "Rossisms", which are odd sayings of Ross', such as "That train has sailed", or "It's like listening to a mirror".

Danny has two degrees, one in Marketing & Advertising, and the other in Music Composition & Theory. In his college years, he partook in various academic activities, which gave him extensive knowledge in various fields. He originally attended Boston University, however, he wasn't ready for Boston yet, and left it after receiving an offer in the mail to study the flora and fauna of the French Alps, where he lived for a while.

Besides working on the Game Grumps channel and on Ninja Sex Party, he also works a 9-5 job and on a secret huge project that he has stated on the Game Grumps AMA is called "Star Bomb".
