Cindy Adams hosts a lively program that serves as both a vibrant tribute to New York City and a candid critique of its modern struggles. The show opens with a colorful review of the risqué Broadway revival of Cats, using the event to highlight the city's eccentric characters and the creative genius of Andrew Lloyd Webber. Adams then shifts to a sprawling interview with billionaire mogul John Catsimatidis, tracing his "rags-to-riches" journey from a Greek immigrant grocery clerk to a powerful owner of real estate, oil, and media assets. Through their personal rapport, the text explores themes of unapologetic patriotism, the value of hard work, and the critical importance of maintaining the city's quality of life to prevent an exodus of businesses.
