Sebastian Maniscalco has sold out arenas. But the thing that still gets him?

Making his mom laugh.

His parents divorced after 35 years together. He never saw it coming. Now Christmas is two separate calls. His kids see their grandparents separately. And Sebastian is still figuring out how to hold that.

He calls his mom his muse. If she's dying laughing, it's going on stage. But underneath that is something simpler. She always picks up the phone.

His dad's advice: never rest on your success. His mom's lesson: don't forget to call back.
