Josh Mancuso: College Mascots, Sports Skits, and Internet Fame

In this episode of the Like a Farmer Podcast, Pat sits down with comedian, actor, and viral sensation Josh Mancuso, the man behind the internet’s favorite sports skits. Known for hilariously impersonating college mascots and fanbases, Josh opens up about the surprising story behind his first viral video, how he writes his sketches, and the unexpected doors his online fame has opened, including launching The Josh Mancuso Show with Rated Red. Josh also gives Pat a crash course in acting and makes a strong case for why he belongs in a Happy Madison production. It’s a laugh-filled, behind-the-scenes look at the grind behind the comedy and the sports fandom that fuels Josh’s viral success.  Chapters:(0:00) - Welcome Josh Mancuso! (0:30) - First Viral Video (6:30) - Writing Skits (9:00) - Give 'Em the Boot Presented by TECOVAS (11:15) - Favorite College Mascot (17:20) - Hired by CFB Playoff Committee (20:15) - Mount Rushmore of Actors (34:15) - Josh Mancuso Show & Rated Red (37:00) - The Good, Bad, and Ugly of Social Media (45:30) - Acting, What's Next, and Happy Madison Shop Like a Farmer merch at https://shop.agamericamedia.com/ Follow along:IG: https://www.instagram.com/likeafarmerpodcast/FB: https://facebook.com/likeafarmerTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@likeafarmerpodcastTwitter: https://twitter.com/likeafarmer_     About Like A Farmer:Like a Farmer is a podcast and video series that spotlights accomplished individuals from diverse industries and their inspiring stories of overcoming adversity and achieving success.
