Matthew John Lesko (born May 11, 1943) is an American author known for his publications and infomercials on federal grant funding. He has written over twenty books instructing people how to get money from the United States government. Widely recognized for recording television commercials, infomercials, and interviews in colorful suits decorated with question marks, Lesko's signature fashion also extends into his daily attire and transportation,[1] earning him the nickname Question Mark Guy.

Life and career[edit]

Lesko grew up in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Lesko received his undergraduate degree from Marquette University in Milwaukee. Upon graduation he was commissioned as an officer in the Navy. In the Navy, he served as a navigator aboard the USS Oxford in the South China Sea during the Vietnam War.[2] When Lesko returned he earned a master's degree in business administration (MBA) from American University in Washington, D.C.

In 1975, Lesko quit his job designing computerized information systems and co-founded Washington Researchers with his then-wife Leila K. Kight.[3]

After a slow start, Lesko hit upon the idea of sending out a professional newsletter telling people how to get free information. The newsletter started bringing in clients, and by 1979 Washington Researchers employed 30 people in its Washington, D.C. office.[3]

As side lines of business, Lesko began publishing directories for those who preferred to do their own research, such as the Researcher's Guide to Washington, and conducting seminars on the types of information then available from the government.[3]

Lesko was able to interest publisher Viking in his idea to publish a directory of government information sources in 1980.[4] That book, Getting Yours: The Complete Guide to Government Money, was published by Viking's Penguin subsidiary in 1982.[5]

He claims to have researched government grants for over 25 years.[6]

Lesko lives in Kensington, Maryland, with his third wife Wendy Schaetzel Lesko and their two sons, Max and Morgan.

Criticism[edit]

Critics claim that Lesko is misleading in his advertisements. A 2004 report by the New York State Consumer Protection Board claimed that most of the grants mentioned in Lesko's books were actually public assistance programs that many people were not eligible for, and that Lesko misrepresented examples of people who had taken advantage of government programs.[7]

The New York Times criticized him for having implied a current association with the paper long after ending a 1992–1994 NYT column.[8]

In 2005, Lesko was named #99 in Bernard Goldberg's book 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America because, 'He is a symbol for self-centered free-riders.'[9]

In an interview with the Washington Post in July 2007, Lesko admitted having assembled his books from government guides to grants and loans: 'His business model is simple: 'I get stuff for free and I sell it for as much as I can get.'[10]Actia multidiag keygen 2010.

In popular culture[edit]

  • In the season four episode of The Venture Bros. titled 'The Better Man', Jefferson Twilight trains with cardboard cut-outs of various villains. When one of the cut-outs turns out to be Matthew Lesko, Jefferson explains that he mistook Lesko for a villain 'he was wearing punctuation on his suit', like that worn by Batman villain Riddler. The Alchemist contends that he 'helps people get free money from the government' and therefore is a good guy.
  • In the season two episode of Drawn Together titled 'Little Orphan Hero', The question mark suit that Spanky Ham wears in the TV commercial is a reference to Lesko.
  • Comedian Andy Dick parodied Lesko on his short-lived MTV sketch comedy program The Andy Dick Show.
  • In season 6, episode 21 ('My Rabbit') of the television series Scrubs, Dr. Cox refers to Lesko in a rant: 'Pregnant women are among a select group of people who are actually allowed to act insane, much like sports mascots, local weathermen, theme park performers and that guy with the question mark jacket who teaches people how to get free money from the government.'
  • In MAD Classic #45, Lesko is placed second on the 50 Worst Things About Advertising.
  • Lesko appeared as himself in advertisements for the album Danger Doom.
  • In an episode of the podcast Chapo Trap House, Lesko is discussed as a possible left-wing counter to Donald Trump's irreverent populist appeal and a potential Democratic presidential candidate for the 2020 presidential election.
