Vinny Guadagnino

Vinny Guadagnino - more famously known as Vinny G - endeared himself to audiences around the globe for his sweet disposition on the hit reality tv show "Jersey Shore". The show catapulted him and his seven roommates into the spotlight, as cameras documented their summers together at a vacation home in Seaside Heights, New Jersey.

Guadagnino appeared in all six seasons of "Jersey Shore" (2009-2012), and made the shift to scipted TV shows, including "90210" and "The Hard Times of RJ Berger", after "Jersey Shore" wrapped. In 2013 he debuted his talk- show "The Show with Vinny", featuring celebrities at Guadagnino's home talking and having dinner with him and his family. This ultimately led to "Vinny & Ma Eat America" on The Cooking Channel.

In 2011, Guadagnino partnered with The Jed Foundation, a national nonprofit that aims to protect the emotional health of teenagers and college students. A staunch advocate for promoting mental, physical, and emotional health, he advises young adults on how to put their well being first in his book "Control the Crazy". In 2019, Guadagnino released his second book, "The Keto Guido Cookbook: Delicious Recipes to Get Healthy and Look Great" offering keto-friendly recipes and advice on leading a healthier life.

He reunited with most of his original Jersey Shore cast-mates for a reboot of the series titled "Jersey Shore: Family Vacation" in 2018, and a year later announced that he'd be starring alongside DJ Pauly D in a reboot of "A Double Shot at Love" on MTV. In 2019, he began his second residency as celebrity guest host in Chippendales at the Rio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
