Sebastian Maniscalco Admits His Stand-Up Comedy Persona Creeps Into ‘Bookie’ — the Show’s Producers Don’t Mind
Sebastian Maniscalco’s standup persona creeps into Max’s “Bookie.” But executive producers Chuck Lorre and Nick Bakay welcome the occasional slip.
Fans of Maniscalco’s standup know what Bakay is talking about: Whenever he’s ready to make a point, the stand-up star will pause, throw on a thicker swagger and exaggerate the syllables in a certain word or phrase for comedic effect. Back for that second episode also is Charlie Sheen, who first guest starred on Season 1 of “Bookie,” making headlines at the time for burying the hatchet with his ex-“Two and a Half Men” boss Lorre. Upped to regular this season is Rob Corddry, while guest stars, besides the return of Sheen, include Ray Romano, David Paymer, Zach Braff and Brad Garrett.
