“You are zero percent genetically related to anyone named Manganiello in the world.” Joe Manganiello marveled at the years-old mysteries in his family that were solved by researchers on a new PBS show.
It was so surprising that host Henry Louis Gates Jr. had to call Manganiello with the news so he wouldn’t find out first during taping.
Gates informed Manganiello that the man the family believed to be the actor’s paternal grandfather really wasn’t. As a result, Gates told him, “You are zero percent genetically related to anyone named Manganiello in the world.” “None of us would have guessed that if we’d had 10 years of guessing,” the actor said. “If Manganiello’s not my last name, what is?”Manganiello’s maternal great-grandmother was a survivor of the Armenian genocide during World War I in which her husband and seven of her children were killed. She was shot, but played dead and escaped with an eighth child, who later drowned while they traversed the Euphrates River.
