The #1 best seller that is Michael Joseph Reilly III's life began in Pittsburgh PA, on September 5, 1982. Mike grew up in the mean streets of Crafton, which is a borough just outside of Pittsburgh. Mike attended St. Philip's Elementary School. Many of his classmates where jealous of Mike and choose to lash out at him. He was often ridiculed. They found it difficult to find a fault in Mike so they decided to tell him he had a large nose even though he doesn't. He was called names like "Michael Noseph Reilly the Turd" and even more clever names like "Shonzy Shonzbourne." Despite his hardships as a young boy, Mike has grown to be a success.
In 2001, Mike graduated from a small Single-A catholic school called Our Lady of the Sacred Heart. Mike enjoyed many athletic achievements in high school. He played four years of baseball, two years of golf, one year of soccer, and four years of bowling. Reilly was captain of the bowling team for two years, both of which were state champion teams. Mike also helped lead OLSH to their first baseball section championship in 2000.

After high school Mike had one college in mind, and that was Slippery Rock University. Mike's decision was made easier by the fact that Patterson Hall was fitted with a state-of-the-art air conditioning system. He is also partial to the food that is dispersed at the nearby Weisenfluh Dining Hall. Today Mike is a junior communication major living in Towers Hall.

Mike is new to the television scene. He didn't come from Hollywood like all the other crew members of "Gettin' Later", instead, he was found inside a dumpster attempting to drown away his sorrows after his intramural softball team lost a pivotal playoff game. Mike was renewed when his faithful chum Ryan Muldowney pulled him out and asked him to be a part of the show. Mike was signed to a multi-million-dollar contract and a new Lexus to top it off. (By multi-million-dollar contract we mean 2¢ and by a Lexus we mean a bag of Doritos.)

Now with season 3 under his belt Mike has slowly moved up the ladder. That shy lad who once stuck his eyes behind the camera was promoted to director. Then, with the departure of host Ben Mitchell, Mike was promoted again, this time to sidekick. With Mike moving forward, so too will the show. Reilly said his ultimate goal as sidekick was to help fans realize that there is a little "Gettin' Later" in everyone.
