Buzzy (real name Austin David Cohen) has only had glowing and heartwarming things to say about his spouse, Elisa Levin (who he affectionately refers to as Sheila). Bio Age quoted Buzzy as saying, "Before marrying you, coming out here to be with you was a big one for me. I was very New York, had a great, well set up life there. I’m really happy. Not just our marriage and our kid and our life, but, career-wise, I would be in a totally different place. If I hadn’t met you, so much wouldn’t have happened."

Buzzy and Sheila have two kids together and, other than his proclamations of love to his SO, not much is really known about the quiz show contestant.

Prior to becoming notorious as a competitor in the game show, Buzzy was the founder of The Teenage Diplomat website and is a music supervisor and director. He also worked at the TBWA\Media Arts Lab.
