Graham Bensinger is an excellent interviewer. He allows his guest to talk without interruption. He has an easygoing manner that helps his interviewees feel comfortable enough to open up. I just discovered him on TV, and now subscribe to his YT channel. Thank you, Graham for providing us with great in depth interviews. Sebastian is such a comedic talent.
I grew up in Chicago too. Introvert tendencies. Loner type. Very similar family experiences. Immigrant parents. His noticing the people in this world. Old fashioned values of chivalry and hospitality. Part of why I watch him on top of his comedic talent.
Recently became Sebastian's fan. Binge watched all Sebastian's comedy on youtube this week. Cheered me up. He has a good head on his shoulders. Respect how he laddered up to success .
Sebastian’s dad has one of the more fantastic smiles I’ve ever seen. Sebastian got that same smile from him and it’s a beautiful thing. Btw, this was a really well done interview. I’ve seen a number of interviews w Sebastian and this was really the best, most expansive and interesting.
Sebastian Maniscalco is one of the funniest comics to ever do it. Love his comedy specials. Me and the wife were lucky enough to catch his set a few times like 18 plus years ago in the small room at the Comedy Store. I think he was doing that Vince Vaughn comedy tour then. Like many LA locals, we'd pop in from time to time to have a great night of laughs. At times, get messed with by a comic working the room if we were sat too close, lol, always a fun time tho. I'm not 100% but I don't think Sebastian had even hit the "mainstream" yet. I hadn't really heard of him until then. Lots of talented great funny comedians at The Comedy Store those nights but what we did know after seeing Sebastian's set was that he was a different level of comedian. His set was like he was already a polished famous headliner, and he just showed up that night to run 15-20 minutes of jokes. We'd be driving home still laughing at all of the funny comics like "what a great time, who is was that Sebastian dude? He was funny af!" lol!! Met him at LAX one day a few years ago and he was just as cool that day and was super kind to take a pic with me. I'm super stoked all of his hard work and dedication has paid and is paying off. Thanks for the interview.
Unusually interesting interview in his childhood home. Comfortable presentation of questions - Equally comfortable responses from Sebastian. Well played!
Excellent interview. Deeper than I thought you might go. Fascinating career path for him. Social media has allowed many current comedians to gain a crowd just off 30 second reels. Congrats to Sebastian and continued success.
Sebastian I'd just like to ask you one thing.... what about my father? I bet the answer would be full of laughs and really good now that time has passed.
He was a lucky fall to stardom. He is actually really shy. He is not really a very personable guy one on one. He has his vibe but he does not know how to blend easily with people. He admits this. He is awkward with people and situations and is very picky about the situations he goes into because he has trouble feeling comfortable. Unlike his wife.
My Ex Wife grew up in Arlington Hts and also went to NIU.....I'm from Chicago but grew up in Des Plaines (The Red Headed Step Child of the N/W Burbs...lol) But I'm like 13 Yrs older than You
Bro. C'mon. You didn't go "scuba diving" with your kids in Mexico. You went snorkeling. Barely. I'm a Pete and Sebastian Show listener my friend. lol, keep up the good work.
First of all, I find you to be a calming, thoughtful interviewer. I believe your demeanor elicits a different type of response from the people you interview. Good work. With regard to Sebastian, what was left on the table? What did he choose not to answer or shied away from?
This guy who is interviewing Sebastian, really needs to know how to interview a celebrity, he looks very nervous! Sebastian is a really down to earth person!
I've seen Maniscalco on his podcast with Pete Correale and he comes off a little a little too snobby at times with his views. For a comic, he seems pretty tense and old fashioned with his old Sicilian mentality.
I work for the Italians in the shipyard up here in WI - oh man they are different lol, got a bit of Italian in him lol - may have to buy that ticket at the Green Bay arena.
Graham was lazy here His questions to Sebastian’s weee already asked before By others Graham had no original difdeeet. Questions It’s like he watched Sebastian’s other interviews with people and asked the same questions
Why do they keep thinking going back to him as a waiter at a 5 star hotel is significantly important. He is not chef. Okay he likes to cook! He worked at a hotel around fine dining. So what? He was a server!!!?
Let's have some laughs, l am starting to fall asleep, pick it up, like Sebastian, but this Graham is so freakin dry, live in chicago suburb, back in the day grew up in norridge all Italians, it was great , l am italian my husband Latino, now l am getting boring.
How many times does Graham say ‘ uh ‘ and ‘ um ‘ and stutter his questions. I find it annoying from a host to ask questions like he’s not ready to ask and stumble through.
Get 10x health. His name is Gary something. Dana white from ufc recommended the shit out of him. This Gary guy use to work for life insurance companies and could predict someone’s death within a couple of months by looking at there blood results 👍 your welcome 😉
He was funny when he first took off about 10 years ago..then he got famous and lost his edge and got too big for what made him in the first place..happens to most of them.
Boring interview. You would never know this guy is a comedian. This is a snoozefest. He puts no effort into being interesting or funny in this interview.

The person who is interviewing never let's him finish his answer..he is always interupting

Thank you for highlighting my comment. It is an honor. You are the best.
Sebastian is my spirit animal..I resonate with this man on so many levels

Great interview. Really admire Sebastian and his sincerity and "down to earth" .... Quite refreshing

I love ‘the deviated septum’ bit! 😂😂😂
Is Sebastian the only Italian who can't handle pasta? That's hilarious.
Unusually interesting interview in his childhood home. Comfortable presentation of questions - Equally comfortable responses from Sebastian. Well played!
1:28:00 Sebastian calls out Graham on his unrelenting pointedness. 😂
Very cool - thanks for sharing and uploading.
"That's Not in The Manual"🤣🤣🤣.
Toronto show last week was great
Sebastian! Please impersonate Graham! 😂 that would be hysterical!!
40:45 He talks about Jerry.
Thanks!! I jumped ahead to that part, and then went back to the start. 🤩🕊💗🕯
@@PsychicRaven You're welcome! I just clicked because I saw Jerry Seinfeld on the title :) The whole interview seems interesting though.
Excellent interview. Deeper than I thought you might go. Fascinating career path for him. Social media has allowed many current comedians to gain a crowd just off 30 second reels. Congrats to Sebastian and continued success.
One of the (comedy) greats. 🤩 Much gratitude! 😃🙏🏽🕊💗🕯🕯🕯
Skechers Slip Ons, Sebastian! Just a word of advice, to not stop your show!
He's funny cause he says what we are subconscious thinking with an hilarious slant. An every man that grinded and made a career. I ♥ this guy
man graham wasnt giving sebastians bits NOTHIN huh :D :D
Love Seb and Lana. 2 great people
Didnt realise hes quite humble and grounded by his supportive family
Sebastian I'd just like to ask you one thing.... what about my father? I bet the answer would be full of laughs and really good now that time has passed.
Soup to Nuts, Comedy!!

Are you ok?
I love 💗 seeing all the pics! ❤
Sebastian: I love my wife and kids.
Graham: Why? Give me an example.
Sebastian is the man! Great interview..
Is this the Krispy pizza guy?
I love you Sebastian!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
That was an amazing conversation. He's such a complex, heartwarming guy!! He's just like the rest of us. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Didn’t realize he had so many health probs. Geez Sebastian you ain’t that old bruh.
My Ex Wife grew up in Arlington Hts and also went to NIU.....I'm from Chicago but grew up in Des Plaines (The Red Headed Step Child of the N/W Burbs...lol) But I'm like 13 Yrs older than You
he should write a joke about tying his shoe so he can use those seconds to tie his shoes and get laugh
What a painful interviewer! OMG! Maniscalco is great, though.
Bro. C'mon. You didn't go "scuba diving" with your kids in Mexico. You went snorkeling. Barely. I'm a Pete and Sebastian Show listener my friend. lol, keep up the good work.
He looks like he’s 100 years old in all the photo clips

thats the way he is. move to china if u dont like it
Hahaha, yeah I get anxiety listening to Bensinger speaking
Seb is boring 😊
@sebastian, you can’t complain about the heat if you ain’t gonna wear opened toed shoes!
It's time for Graham to venture into Nateland!
I have been a fan since day one but if I ask someone if they know him they have never heard of him this guy can take over the world if he wanted
I love Sebastian’s stand up, but his interviews are BORING
Who exactly is Sebastian Manuscalco....
Host not up to Sebastian interview
I've seen Maniscalco on his podcast with Pete Correale and he comes off a little a little too snobby at times with his views. For a comic, he seems pretty tense and old fashioned with his old Sicilian mentality.
I love these interviews but Graham seemed off?
I work for the Italians in the shipyard up here in WI - oh man they are different lol, got a bit of Italian in him lol - may have to buy that ticket at the Green Bay arena.
@Graham…Kicking off your segment I was concerned that you were having a stroke.
Boring . He has no stories
Graham was lazy here
His questions to Sebastian’s weee already asked before
By others
Graham had no original difdeeet. Questions
It’s like he watched Sebastian’s other interviews with people and asked the same questions
Why do they keep thinking going back to him as a waiter at a 5 star hotel is significantly important. He is not chef. Okay he likes to cook! He worked at a hotel around fine dining. So what? He was a server!!!?

Hug your teddy, princess. Come back when you’ve interviewed someone alive.
@ umm that’s uhhh not my uhhhh job ummmm That’s not uhh my umm profession uhhhh
I hate that shit
Graham is doing fine. Leave him alone and enjoy Sebastian! He’s great.
@@garywagner2466 ummm uhhh OK ,Gary. They need you back on the loading dock...break is over.
Get 10x health. His name is Gary something. Dana white from ufc recommended the shit out of him. This Gary guy use to work for life insurance companies and could predict someone’s death within a couple of months by looking at there blood results 👍 your welcome 😉
Yeah he was not born with the gift of brains. Surprised he made it through college.
He was funny when he first took off about 10 years ago..then he got famous and lost his edge and got too big for what made him in the first place..happens to most of them.
wu tang. .
Boring interview. You would never know this guy is a comedian. This is a snoozefest. He puts no effort into being interesting or funny in this interview.
maybe a rubber nose would have helped you
Interviewer stinks,we know all this already
