Peter Onorati, how I adore thee... let me count the ways... amazing actor, great storyteller, sweetest of humans... loved every moment in his good company.

It was a challenging race to show time post last-minute tech issues - all over the place - but once we went Live there was no way not to sit back and enjoy this wonderful conversation from Peter’s wild fabulous family from Naples to New Jersey. Not only the stories but Peter enacting them out for us. His grandfather (and DeNiro) my favorites. Early days in the real deal football and wrestling, to an MBA and a serious corporate gig, never imagining himself an actor, to how he landed there, met his bride, thrived, first on Kate & Allie in New York, Goodfellas, where he charmed Scorses to win the part, DeNiro, Liotta, making his way to LA, where commercials led to Cop Rock, an iconic gem, way before its time, starring in Civil Wars, Murder One, guest spots, guest spots, everywhere, perhaps most famously in Sex & The City, getting black-listed, working with Pacino, S.W.A.T., Mom and This is Us, all in the pandemic… raising three great sons, his marriage a loving success, improv, writing, cigars, and fitness… but it’s his grandfather… that’s the story which KILLS me.

It was an intense day, Dodger Stadium in the early AM for my 2nd shot, concern of possible side effects which might impact the show, alarms gone wild in my house for ab hour requiring outside help (Bring on the Lysol), Peter’s computer saying no, moments before the Live… all forgotten in an instant. I still bask in the fun.

Can think of no better way to warm ones’ heart and soul on this chilly winters night.
