Flanagan was born in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, grew up in nearby Highlands and attended Henry Hudson Regional High School with Smith.[1][2]
Flanagan is the co-host of the Tell 'Em Steve-Dave! podcast with longtime friends Bryan Johnson and Brian Quinn. Flanagan was also the lead star in AMC's Comic Book Men, which premiered in February 2012 and was cancelled in 2018.
