Sebastian Maniscalco Reveals the Worst Comedy Gig He's Ever Done | The Tonight Show

[@Ilikeavocados822]

one of the most humble dudes in the industry. Met him at an event about 10 years ago and he was an absolute gentlemen. Went to a show of his in upstate NY. There was a noticeably drunk woman 3 rows from stage. She kept interrupting him , he handled her with such class. Sebastian is a true comic.

[@MsBianca78]

Really bc hes pretty nasty and rude in his IG comments

[@Gemmarose9012]

He’s not humble anymore

[@wz454]

@@Gemmarose9012 I was thinking the same thing. He is definitely funny, but I was thinking he is becoming to Hollywood and the op says most humble? 🤔

A few years ago, I was a seatfiller at an award show and Sebastian and his wife sat down at my table. It was for the movie The Irishman. They both introduced themselves and were so nice. I had no idea who he was but I knew he was part of the movie. When I got home, I looked him up and found his comedy specials and I couldn’t believe I hadn’t found out about him before. He is legit the funniest comedian I’ve ever seen. I rewatch his bits when I need a good pick me up. I’m looking forward to watching his new special!

[@midodesanti3230]

Had a similar introduction to him about 8 years ago and I wish I was familiar with his work, because I love replaying his shows now, even if its just in the background for some random smiles. His subject matters are always so relatable and his delivery and timing perfect. Can’t wait to see more of his work.

[@Jeaniesunshine-fb5rk]

I love Sébastien, see the pod caste.

[@stacyochoa-luna4565]

[@laurenkris9384]

He's so relatable in his comedy and the fact that he's still hilarious while still having class puts him above others.

[@VanRocCarMor]

Maniscalco came out of nowhere. Absolutely hilarious. I love that he is an introvert and does comedy as therapy and just so happen to hit it big. One of the best in the game right now.

[@ZenArcher9091]

Wrong. He's been at this for more than 20 years.

[@loveforeignaccents]

"Came out of nowhere"... LOL. And I don't think he's an introvert either.

[@demisavage77]

Facts

[@regina_filange2.0]

Found him during the pandemic & instantly became a forever fan. For me, 1 gen of immigrants, and a general observer of people, his comedy is so relatable. Even the title "Is it me??" hits home 😅

Sebastian Maniscalco has been around for years. He always delivers a great story and goes from one topic to the next flawlessly. His body language and facial expressions are perfect to fit his created set, so laugh out loud funny. I can watch his comedy skits back to back, plus he is super sexy and takes care of himself so I like to see him. This was a nice interview, congratulations Maniscalco for never losing the gift and thank you for sharing your talent!!

The more "Italian" Sebastian is, the funnier he gets.

[@flowergirlabc123]

And he's exactly right about being Italian.

[@france895]

obnoxious..is the word...and you are problably waxed arent you

[@CompassHealing]

I’ll never forget that we saw his special on Netflix 3 years ago, my girlfriend ( now wife and happily married) we laughed so hard and it was so awesome that we both liked him. We will never forget that time in San Diego and having that memory or watching him on our laptop where we laughed until we cried. We saw him live in Vegas at the Wynn and he killed it!

It’s crazy that I saw him in Phoenix about 7yrs ago, before he got big. He wasn’t supposed to perform & just showed up. I had never heard of him before & it was the funniest standup I’ve ever seen! Been a huge fan since.

[@christinezwicke1002]

I am obsessed...he is just beyond hilarious. He is REAL. And, like others have commented, the more Italian he gets (in culture and body language)...the more genius he IS. Unmatched!!!!

Sebastian is the embodiment of comedy. Adore him.

LOVE LOVE LOVE., this guy from Chicago! His comedy is so real and physical and he puts a magnifying glass on people's behavior and society in such a fresh, funny way. I am always so excited when he's got a new special on cuz I know he's going to rock the house! Would LOVE to see him in Vegas live in a tux looking good and making us roar with laughter !!!

My hubby and l pretty much watched Sebastian in those boxing rings. We've seen him at least 6 times and are thrilled about his success. He deserves it!

[@thewineoo]

what year?

[@faridamajor316]

He gives the impression of being a perfectionist, always well groomed, tidy as anything.

[@judygrancich3756]

Definitely. And I believe him when he says "people bother me" ... I can totally see him blatantly showing people that they "bug"😅

[@amen_ra6926]

The first of his specials I saw was a smaller audience when he did the bit about the coffee cake for when "company" just drops by because they were "in the neighborhood" compared to today's attitude when people pop-in unannounced😂🤣😂🤣. When he dropped that Sanka line, I lost it because it reminded me of my childhood. My mom didn't have Sanka but it was pretty much the same. The other bits that had me dying was the self-serve grocery story and helping his father with the computer. When he talks about how his dad says he should pour concrete instead of play basketball because he's terrible at it was effing hilarious. . His animated way of doing his delivery because of his Italian background makes his bits even funnier.

[@callmeishmael4659]

yup, seriously. It all rings true

[@archeredutainment8453]

Un...deniably... a living comedy legend. A first class act. He can literally have me rolling on the floor, laughing so hard, I'm am gagging... trying to say the words.... stop.... stop.... stop... crying with laughter. Hahahahahah.

That would be awesome.

[@great-ok-good]

I'd rather see him than Bill Burr, who's ok imo, but something just-idk- anyway Sebastián Maniscalco does seem genuine

[@bobstrempie9424]

Probably because he has actual talent and is funny and doesn’t want to associate himself with a show that hasn’t been anything in 20 years.

He's not politically correct.

Because he's not leftist liberal lunatic

I was disappointed on his Netflix Special. 3 quarters of it was about his marriage, which is a burned subject. He also seemed too tight. Like he was forcing it. Maybe it was the tuxedo, who knows. But he didn’t have the same energy throughout like he did in his other specials. It was off and on. He’s still one of my favorites and I hope I get a chance to see him live one day.
