The child of two immigrants from Sicily, Sebastian Maniscalco is climbing the ranks to become one of America’s favorite comedians. The comedy legend had his humble beginnings sharing jokes at the dinner table. Now, he has four Netflix comedy specials and is selling out shows in Madison Square Garden and Radio City Music Hall with his “Nobody Does This” tour.

For the past three years, Maniscalco has been among Forbes’s top 10 highest-paid comedians, and his numbers continue to grow. If he’s so successful, why is it that you may have never heard of him?
