John Turturro with "Desus & Mero"
The moment I walked to the backroom dressing rooms, I had the biggest smile on face ..
They have these the laugh especially Mero (Joel Martinez) that is so contagious your belly hurts :)
I was hired to to John Torturro as he has joined the cast. How cool is that??
He’s REALLY FUNNY!!! John had me laughing so hard . On set they had to cut so many times because people couldn’t keep a straight face
The show features longtime acquaintances Desus Nice (Daniel Baker) and The Kid Mero (Joel Martinez) chatting with guests at the intersection of pop culture, sports, music, politics and more, as well as giving their take on the day’s hot topics in front of a small live studio audience from New York City. Upcoming guests include Lin-Manuel Miranda, Charlize Theron, Amy Poehler, Gabrielle Union, Seth Rogen, Spike Lee, Bill Hader, Regina Hall, among others.
Desus and Mero reconnected online in the early days of Twitter, where they unleashed their potent personalities and found themselves kindred spirits. That led to stints on Complex and MTV, the Bodega Boys podcast, and a daily late-night show on Viceland. The duo continue to host their Bodega Boys podcast.

Nik & Lijana Wallenda High-Wire Crosses Times Square!
In 25 years of working or just passing through Times Square I have never experienced SILENCE…
The high-wire act with brother & sister Nik & Lijana Wallenda was an emotional roller coaster.
The walk marked Lijana’s first high-wire act since 2017 rehearsal accident, which left her severely injured with every bone in her face broken.
A crowd of New Yorkers anxiously watched as Nik and Lijana Wallenda — seventh-generation members of the famed Flying Wallendas circus family — attempted to cross a 1,300-foot-long wire, strung between two skyscrapers in Times Square on Sunday night.
The never-before-attempted stunt was broadcast live on ABC in a two-hour special, Highwire Live in Times Square, hosted by Erin Andrews and Michael Strahan
They beat out every network that night!
Working with this whole family gave me a feeling that if this woman could get back up there with all she has been through, then I too have the faith to move mountains.
It all started with a mustard seed :)
Abby Hornacek
One afternoon I received this call asking if I could do "Drone Racing" for the DRL in an empty warehouse in Nokia Bell Labs. This is also about a good 3 hours outside of New York City.
Thinking to myself what??? Why would they need makeup & hair???
In comes Abby Hornacek the host. She is also the daughter of the head couch of the New York Knicks Jeff Hornacek. She lives in Los Angeles now going to school but is trying to make it in the broadcast arena which I know all of you are going to see her & she will be a household name. She's that good :)
It's not so much ..well of course she is stunning but she is a real trouper. We had to be at this HUGE empty warehouse for at least 14 to 15 hours a day & she never complained.
Drone racing is so cool & worth looking up to watch, just saying.
It was an awesome experience & a gig I'll never forget. The people at DLR are also very cool!
