Summary

On this episode of On Brand, Donny sits down with actor, comedian, and host of the Talking Sopranos podcast, Steven Schirripa.

Eventually, the Sopranos stars aligned and Steve was cast in the iconic show as ‘Bobby Baccalieri,’ becoming a series regular to the end. He and Donny talk about the magic of the Sopranos, behind-the-scenes stories, and Steve's take on the finale. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
