The Chazz Palminteri Show

This week, Chazz welcomes back actress Kathrine Narducci and comedian Tara Cannistraci for a lively conversation about careers, comedy, family, and growing up in New York.

Tara discusses her growing career in stand-up, touring arenas with Jo Koy, performing at Radio City Music Hall, and the lessons she has learned along the way. Chazz, Kathrine, and Tara also revisit their early days working together.

The conversation turns nostalgic as they share stories about growing up in Harlem and the Bronx, New York neighborhoods and nightlife, and how childhood and parenting have changed over the years. Kathrine also reflects on her career, including The Sopranos, A Bronx Tale, The Irishman, Godfather of Harlem, and Euphoria.

For the 300th episode of The Chazz Palminteri Show, I sit down with actress and singer Taral Hicks, who played Jane in A Bronx Tale.

Taral shares how she won the role, her experiences working with Robert De Niro and me, and the lessons she carried throughout her acting career. We revisit behind-the-scenes stories, including the scenes the studio wanted removed, and discuss the film’s impact on representation and interracial relationships.

We also talk about Taral’s music, faith, family, motherhood, and her plans for the future. It’s a meaningful conversation about the legacy of A Bronx Tale and the role that helped shape both our lives.

This week, I’m bringing you one of my personal favorite conversations from the archives: Bill Burr! I wanted to put this classic episode back together so you could enjoy the full conversation in one place.

Bill and I talk about A Bronx Tale, the moment we first met, his experience getting married, the ups and downs of performing comedy, and the pressure artists face when the business starts influencing their work. We also get into sports, Hollywood, friendship, therapy, and learning to enjoy the process instead of obsessing over the outcome.

Bill is one of the funniest and most honest guys out there, and this conversation is full of laughs, great stories, and real-life perspective. I hope you enjoy this flashback as much as I do!

This week on The Chazz Palminteri Show, I sit down with Peter Tuchman, better known as the “Einstein of Wall Street,” for a fascinating conversation about his more than 40 years on the New York Stock Exchange.

Peter explains how he got to Wall Street, how the trading floor has changed, what he learned from major market crashes, and his thoughts on AI, ETFs, the S&P 500, investing, and market volatility.

He also shares the remarkable story of his Holocaust-survivor parents, the mentor who helped guide him toward Wall Street, his son Benny working alongside him, his famous superstitions, and the bronze statue being created in his honor at the NYSE.

It's a conversation about investing, Wall Street, family, history, perseverance, and finding something you truly love to do.

In Episode 296 of The Chazz Palminteri Show, I sit down with The Velvet Candles, a Doo-Wop group from Barcelona, Spain, along with my good friend Dr. Gabriel Dassa, who is helping bring the group to America.

We discuss the history of Doo-Wop, the group's experiences performing throughout Europe, and why this music continues to connect with audiences of all ages. Gabriel shares how he discovered The Velvet Candles and why he believes American audiences need to hear them.

I also share memories of growing up in the Bronx surrounded by Doo-Wop music and talk about legendary groups and singers including Dion and the Belmonts, The Cadillacs, Johnny Maestro and The Skyliners.

It's a conversation about music, nostalgia, the Bronx, European Doo-Wop, and keeping the sounds of the 1950s and '60s alive for new generations.
