Some Radio and TV Stations may be refusing to play Frank Loesser's Academy Award-winning song, but Deana Martin and Steven Maglio sang it last night at the Friars Club to a jam packed room of gloriously festive and politically incorrect Friars. They joined the ranks of celebrities who have recorded the tune such as, Idina Menzel & Michael Buble', Esther Williams & Ricardo Montalban, Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Jordan, Margret Whiting & Johnny Mercer and the composer Frank Lesser and his wife Lynn Garland.
Tony Danza is the 'Peoples Choice' not only because he won that award (among many). He is also the choice for hundreds of New York City kids for whom he is a role model in his capacity as Board Member of the NYC Police Athletic League (PAL). Tony recently launched PAL's first acting program under the philosophy 'when you teach a kid how to act, you teach them how to act.' Alongside PAL's other athletic, academic, and artistic programs, the Acting Program has become an instant favorite. Last night students were showcased in their stage debut at the Gerald w. Lynch Theater in Manhattan in a variety show which was developed over the last few months.

There were many famous telephone call in's to Steve's SIRIUS Radio live broadcast.
