Jersey Shore fans love ‘OG’ Uncle Nino even more after heart to heart with Angelina Fri 16 September 2022 11:11 Helen Williams
As if Jersey Shore wasn’t lively enough in its early days, producers added Uncle Nino into the mix on the show and he ended up outshining the rest of the cast on multiple occasions. The Jersey Shore star often surprised Vinny, JWoww, Ronnie and the rest of the cast with his jokes and random appearances.
Jersey Shore’s Pauly D dubbed Uncle Nino the ‘OG’ AKA The Original Guido. The more mature member of the Jersey Shore group may have lacked what the others had in youthfulness, but he certainly makes up for it in character. In 2022, Jersey Shore Family Vacation fans are loving Uncle Nino even more after he had a heart-to-heart chat with Angela.
Uncle Nino is literally what I wanna be in 30 years 😎🍸 #JerseyShore

Uncle Nino is a Jersey Shore OG
Since the early days of Jersey Shore, Uncle Nino has made appearances.
He could often be seen, cigar in mouth, wine in hand and his cane in the other hand. Sometimes Uncle Nino also rocked up in a robe and speedos, prompting Vinny’s mother to remind him that he’s “not in Europe”.
It’s clear to see from Twitter that Uncle Nino has many fans. After he and Angelina had a chat on the show during September 15th’s episode, one fan tweeted: “That was probably Uncle Nino’s best episode.”
Another wrote: “Tonight’s @JerseyShore with @angelinamtvjs ’s tender moments with Uncle Nino had all the feels, you had a father figure in that brief moment and it grounded you. Too cute.”
Uncle Nino I love him!! #jerseyshorefamilyvacation #JerseyShore #JSFamilyVacation
