This Fun Friday episode kicks off with a heartfelt tribute to former NYPD Commissioner Bernie Kerik, who passed away recently. Hosts Kevin and Cristyne reflect on attending his funeral at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, sharing personal anecdotes and admiration for his gritty, reform-driven legacy. From his rise through the NYPD ranks to his post-9/11 leadership, Kerik’s impact on New York and beyond is remembered with reverence and a touch of humor.

The show then shifts gears to Broadway, where Tony Awards buzz is in full swing. Broadway.com’s Paul Wontorek joins to dish on nominees, predictions, and the glamor of the First Timers Club. From Nicole Scherzinger’s powerhouse performance in Sunset Boulevard to Audra McDonald’s timeless talent, the competition is fierce and fabulous.

Paul also teases a star-studded Tony special airing on PIX 11 and Broadway.com, featuring interviews with nominees and even a surprise chat with Mia Farrow. With Cynthia Erivo hosting and a punk-inspired nail game, the Tonys promise to be as stylish as they are spectacular.

Next up: air travel! Dr. Sharon DeVivo of Vaughn College reassures listeners that flying is safe, despite summer delays. She highlights recent improvements at Newark Airport and the critical role Vaughn plays in training the next generation of air traffic controllers—no Oklahoma detour required!

The episode crescendos with Francisco J. Núñez, conductor of the world’s largest children’s choir. With over 6,000 kids singing at the Prudential Center, it’s a musical movement that’s as inspiring as it is massive. Francisco shares how schools can join and how music transforms young lives.

The show wraps with weekend tips: a Tony viewing party at Grand Brasserie, a benefit concert at United Palace, and a shoutout to Father Anonymous, a new play about a Revolutionary War hero. Oh, and it’s National Donut Day—so grab a glazed and celebrate the sweet side of life!
