From Rome to Comedy: Guess Who Made Us Laugh All the Way!

Who knew that a kid with bleach blonde hair from Italy would grow up to crack us up? Born in Rome and raised in Mercer Island, Washington, this little comedic dynamo started honing his skills in the ’90s, all while rocking a plaid shirt and riding horses. Yep, we’re talking about a childhood that had everything—football, rowing—definitely not the typical path to stardom!

Fast forward to now, and he’s hosting on E! and had his own talk show on Netflix. It’s amazing to think he went from riding horses to riding the waves of laughter alongside Donald Glover. And let’s not forget his iconic role on “The Soup!”—he took comedy commentary to a whole new level. Who wouldn’t want to be the one to poke fun at reality TV and pop culture on a daily basis?

What’s interesting is how our childhoods shape our futures in unexpected ways. This comedian’s journey shows that humor can arise from the most unassuming beginnings. So, did anyone guess who it might be yet? Share your thoughts—do you think a background in sports and casual style is just what a future comic needs?
