Matthew Lesko (born 1943) is an American author and late-night television personality who has made a living telling people about how to get "free" money from the United States Government. He is popularly known as "that question mark guy" for the Riddler-like suit that he wears in his television commercials, infomercials, and interviews.
Lesko lives in Kensington, Maryland with his wife Wendy Schaetzel Lesko and their two sons, Max and Morgan. He grew up in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Lesko received his undergraduate degree from Marquette University in Milwaukee, then went to Vietnam as a navigator for the U.S. Navy. When Lesko returned he earned a master's degree in computer science from American University in Washington D.C.. He has claimed to be a columnist for The New York Times and to have researched government grants for over 25 years.
Lesko is best known for his wardrobe, specifically his colorful suit decorated with question marks. Lesko's appearances, hawking a chance at government grant money wearing the flamboyant outfit, has been described by one commentator as "a libertarian fashion designer's nightmare".
Lesko is named as number 99 in Bernard Goldberg's book, 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America.
Recently, Lesko has started appearing in commercials for Cartoon Network's Adult Swim, selling Dangerdoom in a style similar to his own informercials.
