Well Done with Sebastian Maniscalco Set for discovery+

Comedian Sebastian Maniscalco will take a deep dive into the gastronomic world in the new discovery+ series Well Done with Sebastian Maniscalco.

Featuring his signature social observations and commentary and appearances from his wife Lana and mom Rose, Well Done with Sebastian Maniscalco will see the comic explore the food-centric topics he has always been curious about. The series is slated to bow on discovery+ on August 12, with three episodes. The remaining episodes will roll out every Thursday for the following four weeks.

In Well Done, Maniscalco explores the similarities between sushi and comedy with comedian Russell Peters, powers through seasickness during a fishing adventure, throws a meat-centric dinner party for guests including Bert Kreischer and Anjelah Johnson, and goes on sandwich expeditions with pals Rich Eisen, Fortune Feimster, Gillian Jacobs and Oscar Nuñez.

Well Done with Sebastian Maniscalco is produced by What’s Wrong with People? Inc. and Triage Entertainment.

Maniscalco said: “This series came out of my passion for cooking and comedy. I thought…what better way to marry the two than a tv show centered around the culinary arts? Filming it was so exciting! I loved all the guests that we had, and I think we provide some really good information about food as well as some fantastic comedic moments.”

Courtney White, president of Food Network and Cooking Channel, said: “This is one of the funniest shows we’ve ever done—Sebastian is an inimitable talent and his signature sense of humor sets the tone for every episode. He has a lot of thoughts, questions and opinions about food and joining him to hilariously analyze the culinary world is a must-see.”

Lisa Holme, group senior VP of content and commercial strategy, said: “Sebastian’s obsession with food, combined with his comedic genius, makes for the perfect discovery+ series. The same qualities that make Sebastian’s comedy so special—his curiosity, intelligence and cutting observations—also make his exploration of food something that will truly whet the appetite of our streaming subscribers.”
