Roberts' career began at the age of 10 when he had an opportunity to do updates for WFAN's Imus in the Morning radio program.[2] He then hosted his own radio show called Kidsports on WGBB and expanded it to a wider kids audience with a show called Going Bzircus; a few years later, he hosted "What's Up With Evan Roberts" for the now-defunct Radio AAHS (later AAHS World Radio) children's radio network.[3] In 1997, Roberts played a role in the Howard Stern's movie autobiography Private Parts as Elliot.[4][5] After graduating from high school he worked for XM Satellite Radio[2] in Washington, D.C. for 2 years. In 2003 and 2004, he worked for WJFK in Baltimore, Maryland and then moved back to New York to host his own show on Maxim Radio, a channel on Sirius Satellite Radio.[6]
