Meet Artist Lana Gomez — Comedian Sebastian Maniscalo's Wife And (Occasional) Target Of His Jokes
She's an artist.
Instagram Comedian Sebastian Maniscalo is set to host the 2019 MTV VMAs, so we can expect some of his signature complaining comedy to be featured. He's also got a brand new Netflix speacial Stay Hungry, in which he airs his grievances about everything from being intimidated at the gym to car repairs. One of his favorite things to complain (teasingly, in a friendly way) about is his wife Lana Gomez. The differences in their Italian and Jewish upbringings is a frequent target of his humor.
