Every Family's Got One

(a story, that is)

A Story About “Mr. Nice Guy”

Every Family’s Got One 2018 Cast Video — Tony Mennuto

Tony Mennuto took to the stage performing “Mr. Nice Guy” in front of a lively and loving audience at the Cinema Arts Centre in Huntington, New York. 

In his family…

Tony went by the name ANT. Maybe it was because he was a tiny kid and could lift 100 times his weight. 

Or maybe it was just short for Anthony.

Now get ready to hear Tony tell us a story…

about the other Tony in his family — his dad. Who is actually called Tony, not ANT. And will be forever affectionately known as Mr. Nice Guy. But as you’ll hear, even nice guys have tough days.

Here’s Tony with “Mr. Nice Guy”…

Tony Mennuto has spent half of his life performing comedy, half of his life in advertising, and half searching for the world’s best hamburger. His comedy credits include: NBC’s Live On Tape, HBO’s Sketch Pad, and 10 terrifying years with NYC-based Gotham City Improv. In advertising, Tony makes people buy things they don’t need at his comedy-focused ad agency Wordsworth and Booth, for clients like Burger King, Tim Hortons, and the Ad Council. Where to find his favorite hamburger? That’s easy. In Huntington. In his backyard. Next to his beautiful wife and hilarious daughter.

    Love this and the part about his mom in the restaurant with her dream could have been my own grandmother as she would start up conversations with anyone anywhere, too! But in all seriousness, Tony’s story was truly funny up until the end and the tears from laughter turned to tears of sorrow for his loss. Thanks for sharing his wonderful video and story of his dad here with us.

      I think I’m headed down that same path of starting conversations with anyone! Glad I’m in good company. Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts, Janine.
