I grew up years ago doing something that unfortunately doesn't hardly exist any more, a medium called Radio.
A great chef is an artist that I truly respect.
Yes, and many times it's frustrating, because I'm simply part of the show, and I'm not in the creative end of it, who goes out with detectives and tries to find these things out.

I learned early on, having known the most handsome, successful, Gary Cooper, Clark Gable, Robert Taylor, don't ever spend too much time looking in the mirror.
Someone once accused me of being like Eliot Ness. I sad no sir, I'm not E.N., but I can promise you that I'm not Al Capone!

I never put my arms around John Gotti, Al Capone or Lucky Luciano.

If you don't love it, you can't suffer thru all the despair that comes with it. Keep doing it because you love it.
I'm very proud this show has been accepted for this length of time.
These are icons to be treasured.
Our profession is very much like going to a cocktail party, you check out the guest list.
I find these shows very touching sometimes.
I am very pro law enforcement.
Thru the auspices of the viewers who become - I think this is an import - in a democracy, become a working unit with law enforcement against the criminals.
I'm working 2 days a week right now, narration usually on Wed., and host on camera on Friday.
Whether it s the country or city, I never liked the bad guy.
In terms of segments, I think we've done 1,200.
