By Italy, the show was basically the biggest thing on television and Mike (and to a lesser extent, Snooki) were the only 2 people any non-fan could name.

Agreed, but I’d say paulie is up there as well. Snookie, paulie and Mike are celebrities. IIRC, when the show was in its first season or so, snookie was just as famous/infamous as Mike. They carried the show at first. At some point, paulie emerged as the second banana.

The situation is arguably the greatest reality star/personality of all time. Say what you want about the show, the dude was really charismatic and entertaining.
