Brigitte Quinn's 22 Minutes With...

NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – Comedian Jim Gaffigan is back with a brand new, hour-long stand-up special on Netflix, called “CINCO.” He chatted with 1010 WINS’ Brigitte Quinn before hitting the road for his latest tour. He said it will be a family affair, with his wife as his writing partner and their kids along for the ride. The tour will include a three-day stint at the Beacon Theater in September. “Performing in New York City is a big deal for a New Yorker, and I love performing in New York, because there’s always an extra 15 minutes that I can’t do anywhere else that people that work and live in New York City will understand that they might not understand in other parts of the country,” he said. “I’m talking about my hometown.” Gaffigan also said he’s a fan of hometown radio station, 1010 WINS. “I love it, because I love just facts. I love news that’s like we’re going to get to it,” he said. “I love the fact th

NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Actress Priyanka Chopra recently spent “22 Minutes” with 1010 WINS’ Brigitte Quinn, talking about her roles in the upcoming “Baywatch” movie and “Quantico.” “If you’ve been a fan of the old ‘Baywatch,’ the TV show, then this movie takes the spirit of that ‘Baywatch’ and wraps it up in rated R, naughty fun,” she tells Quinn. “That’s the best explanation of this movie I can give.” Chopra talks about working alongside Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Zac Efron, and getting a special phone call from David “The Hoff” Hasselhoff. She also says “Baywatch” was her mother’s favorite show when she was a child. She tells Quinn she was studying to become an engineer when her mom entered her in a beauty pageant and her life suddenly changed. “I went there to skip my exams… I never in my wildest dreams had thought that I would win or

NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson recently spent “22 Minutes” with 1010 WINS’ Brigitte Quinn, talking about “Modern Family” and more. Ferguson was in New York in part to promote a Pepcid campaign. “I’m a big foodie, and I love eating out, I love cooking at home. I find so much joy in that and so much joy in spending time with family and friends that I don’t want heartburn, which I definitely suffer from, to override that,” he tells Quinn. “So I love the program that they have, and I love the message of seize the meal – carpe dinner.” He talks about having a food blog with a friend chef and hosting the James Beard Awards. Then, of course, they dive into discussing “Modern Family.” The award-winning show was recently renewed for a ninth and 10th season. “It’s the best job I’ve ever had,” Ferguson says. “We’ve been through a lot together, we love each other so much, w

NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Dr. Phil stopped by 1010 WINS to spend “22 Minutes” with Brigitte Quinn. Before diving into his daytime talk show, they discussed his role as executive producer for Daily Mail TV, which launches in September as an extension of the popular website. “They do a lot of stories that we do on the ‘Dr. Phil’ show — human interest stories, and they really dive down and find out what’s behind the headline,” he says. He says after 15 years of the “Dr. Phil” show, he’s just as excited about it as ever. “I’ll tell you why: We reinvent ourselves over the summer every year,” he says. “We ask, how can we tell our stories better? We listen to our viewers and the things that they want to focus on.” He touches on stories like that of Danielle Bregoli, known for the one-liner “cash me outside,” sexual harassment in the workplace, and the controversy surrounding the Netflix serie

NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Musician, philanthropist and now author Julian Lennon spent “22 Minutes” with 1010 WINS’ Brigitte Quinn, discussing his new children’s book called “Touch the Earth.” Lennon will be signing the book, which is the first in a trilogy, across the area this week. So why a children’s book? “Every word is loaded. You have to be very careful about what you’re saying. And you have to be able to deliver a message in way that young minds will understand,” he says. “This is not only a lovely story and a picture book, but they’re being educated about morals and the rights and wrongs in life.” Lennon also talks about his musical career, his philanthropic work and of course, his family. He shares the remarkable story of how his charity, The White Feather Foundation, got its start and its name. He tells Quinn he was touring in Australia when he was asked to greet some fans… &ldq

NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Emmy & Tony award winner Mandy Patinkin spends “22 Minutes” with 1010 WINS’ Brigitte Quinn, discussing his upcoming role in the new “Smurfs” movie, the season finale of “Homeland,” and a special trip to Broadway. “I’m a Smurf now,” he tells Quinn. Papa Smurf, in fact. He says working on the animated project was “a blast.” “I’ve rarely had as much fun as I did doing this,” he says. Patinkin also talks about filming a good part of season six of “Homeland” here in New York City. “I’ve been in New York since 1972 when I came to go to school, and it’s the first time that I have filmed at home for any length of time,” he says. He says it can be exhausting working on a show that so closely mirrors current events. “To recover and connect with reality — I’ve done it for the past two years — I go to the refugees in Lesbos, i
