And another Long Island celebrity joins us in studio right now. Massapequa's own, of course,

a very famous actor and producer and philanthropist and documentarian. I mean, I can go on and on and on.

And he's got his Knicks fan, Knicks hat on today because he's a big Knicks fan. He's not one of

these new age Knicks fans like Timothy Shalame. I don't know where that guy came from. Billy Baldwin's been there since day one, for God's sakes. Him and Clyde Frasier go out to lunch. That's a real Knicks fan. Billy, good morning. How are you? So cool to be here. Thank you for having me, man.
