191: Love Your Online Presence: A Conversation with Comedian Nick Smeriglio

Want to know what Christopher Walken’s favorite podcast is? You’re in for a treat.

In today’s episode, Erin talks with impressionist and comedian Nick Smeriglio about his journey from corporate to comedy, how posting his impression of Sebastian Maniscalco on TikTok led to a phone call from Jimmy Kimmel, and the realization he came to about letting go of other people’s opinions.

If you’re looking for some inspiration on taking that leap—whatever it is for you—this is the episode to listen to.

More about Nick Smeriglio: Nick’s career has taken off since his TikTok impression of Sebastian Maniscalco blew up the internet in September of 2020. He earned reviews from Maniscalco himself plus invaluable screen time when the fellow Arlington Heights native spotted Nick's video on the Jimmy Kimmel Show. In October 2021, Nick packed up, moved to New York, and started doing comedy at East Coast Comedy Clubs. Today, Nick is a comedian, impressionist, actor, digital content creator, and cast member on "I Mostly Blame Myself.”
