Sebastian Maniscalco Launching SiriusXM Show With Exclusive Channel

EXCLUSIVE: Comedian Sebastian Maniscalco has inked a multi-year deal with SiriusXM that will give him his own show and exclusive channel with the subscription-based satellite radio service.

Beginning April 20, SiriusXM Channel 99 will become Sebastian Maniscalco’s Comedy Radio, a 24/7 comedy destination curated and headlined by Maniscalco, which replaces SiriusXM Raw Comedy.

Launching April 28 as the channel’s flagship program, The Sebastian Maniscalco Show will feature Maniscalco alongside contributors like his longtime friend and comedian Pete Correale, plus celebrity drop-ins and recurring segments. The show will take over the online feed of The Pete and Sebastian Show, Maniscalco’s podcast hosted with Correale since 2013, with new episodes premiering every Tuesday at 12 p.m. ET on SiriusXM and available same day on demand in the SiriusXM app and to SiriusXM Podcasts+ subscribers. Full video episodes will debut one week later on Maniscalco’s YouTube channel, with the audio version also available wherever podcasts are found. SiriusXM Media has exclusive ad sales rights to both the video and audio editions.

“Joining SiriusXM and launching my own channel is a huge moment for me,” Maniscalco told Deadline. “It’s an incredible opportunity to create a space that brings together everything I love: comedy, storytelling, great conversations, and unexpected moments. I’m excited to give listeners something that feels fresh, fun, and uniquely mine.”

Added the comic, “We’ve got a lot of exciting things planned, and I can’t wait for people to hear what we’re building. Honestly, the real comedy may come from trying to teach my father how to find SiriusXM in his car. That alone could be its own weekly series.”

SiriusXM President and Chief Content Officer Scott Greenstein said, “Sebastian is one of the funniest and most influential voices in comedy today. From sold-out arenas to chart-topping specials, he brings an energy and perspective that audiences relate to and connect with instantly. We’re thrilled to build a new comedy destination around him and give our subscribers a place to experience his voice — and the voices he champions — every day.”

The SiriusXM Podcast Network represents more of the top 20 podcasts than any other network and reaches one in two U.S. podcast listeners each month. The company has also built a strong foothold in comedy, serving as the home to Netflix Is a Joke Radio and Comedy Central Radio, alongside talent including Conan O’Brien, Kevin Hart, Jeff Foxworthy, and Larry the Cable Guy.

One of today’s biggest comics, Maniscalco last year had the No. 1 highest-grossing comedy tour in Billboard’s Midyear Boxscore Report, ranking among the Top 25 global tours across all music and comedy, and finishing the year as the third highest-grossing comedy tour overall. Known for his blend of physical comedy, observational humor, and vividly animated storytelling rooted in family and culture, he was the only comedian to appear on Pollstar’s Top 20 Global Concert Tours of 2025 and also ranked among the Top 10 highest-grossing comedy tours of 2024.

Maniscalco’s latest comedy special, It Ain’t Right, debuted as the No. 1 title on Hulu within 24 hours as part of the platform’s Hularious slate. He is repped by UTA and Yorn, Levine, Barnes.
