Vinny Guadagnino, widely recognized for his role on the reality TV show "Jersey Shore," became a household name as the show followed him and his seven roommates during their summer vacations in Seaside Heights, New Jersey. He starred in all six seasons from 2009 to 2012. However, Guadagnino's journey on the show concluded as he chose to leave due to challenges with chronic anxiety, which manifested as irritability, isolation, insomnia, and panic attacks.

After "Jersey Shore," Guadagnino transitioned to scripted TV, appearing in "90210" and "The Hard Times of RJ Berger." He expanded his career with a unique venture into hosting with "The Show with Vinny" in 2013, where celebrities joined him and his family for meals and conversation at his home. This concept evolved into "Vinny & Ma Eat America" on The Cooking Channel. His advocacy for mental and emotional health is prominent as he collaborates with The Jed Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to the emotional health of teenagers and young adults. His engagement with the Half of Us campaign further underscores his commitment to this cause.

In addition to his television work, Guadagnino is an author, with his book "Control the Crazy," published in April 2012, where he provides guidance on managing mental and emotional health. His second book, "The Keto Guido Cookbook: Delicious Recipes to Get Healthy and Look Great," was released in 2019, sharing keto-friendly recipes and lifestyle tips. He rejoined his "Jersey Shore" castmates for "Jersey Shore: Family Vacation" in 2018, and the following year, starred in "A Double Shot at Love" alongside DJ Pauly D on MTV. Guadagnino also embraced a role as a celebrity guest host in Chippendales at the Rio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas in 2019, reflecting his diverse pursuits in the entertainment industry. His presentations continue to inspire and inform, particularly focusing on the well-being of younger audiences.
