Summary

Actor Chazz Palminteri joins the program to touch upon his admiration for Robert Duvall’s famed acting career after Duvall's passing yesterday. Chazz reflects on the different versions of A Bronx Tale—film, Broadway musical, and his one-man show—saying he began in comedy and recalling roles like Modern Family and Analyze This with Billy Crystal, as well as working with Robert De Niro. Sid promotes Palminteri’s one-man A Bronx Tale and Palminteri announces performances on Sunday, February 22 at the Paramount Theater in Huntington and Saturday, February 28 at the St. George Theatre in Staten Island, emphasizing his message to young audience members about “wasted talent.” The conversation also covers Palminteri’s restaurants in New York City (30 West 46th Street near the Theater District) and White Plains (264 Main Street), and his interest in opening in Las Vegas.
