Production Monkey
UT:10 News Mascot

Little is known about Production Monkey.  He magically appeared one day several years ago and has been part of the UT:10 News Team ever since.  When asked about his upbringing he told UT:10 reporters, "We used to play pretend, give each other different names. We would build a rocket ship and then we'd fly it far away. Used to dream of outer space but now they're laughing at our face saying, "Wake up, you need to make money."" However we doubt this is true because it sounds suspiciously like the lyrics to TWENTY ØNE PILØTS' song, "Blurryface". Production Monkey lives somewhere in a magical cave in the Rocket Hall Studio and makes his appearance every Tuesday to bring smiles to the faces of the cast and crew. To contact Production Monkey, you can email him at Production.Monkey@rockets.utoledo.edu.
