Retired Marine Nick Szysznyk is a supervisor at a Washington, D.C. community center.[1]
The ongoing punchline of the show was that people meeting Szysznyk for the first time almost invariably mispronounced his surname. An example from one episode included a narcotics detective who pronounced his name "Sneeze-wick".
