Kevin McCullough kicks off Fun Friday with a big announcement: he’s going national! Starting November 24, his syndicated radio show will beam across 400 cities, while still keeping his local AM970 slot. Cristyne Nicholas cheers him on, noting Salem Media’s smart move in spotlighting Kevin’s energetic voice from the heart of NYC.
The duo dives into the holiday spirit with tales of inflatable turkeys gone rogue and the Harlem Holiday Lights Parade. Lou Rice joins to share the magic of Harlem’s only lighted parade, complete with floats, DJs, and a grand marshal lineup featuring Malik Yoba and the legendary Apollo Theater. It’s a celebration of culture, community, and pure NYC swagger.
Next stop: Broadway meets dessert! Scott Barbarino from Ellen’s Stardust Diner dishes on Wicked Wednesday, where singing servers belt out tunes from Wicked while serving up Glinda (pink) and Elphaba (green) shakes. Pistachio ice cream, strawberry swirls, and buttercream towers—this is Broadway in a glass.
Then it’s time to pack your bags! Linda Perillo joins the fun to talk about the upcoming Italy 2026 trip. With stops in Rome, Sorento, Capri, and Amalfi, it’s a dream tour curated by travel royalty. September’s perfect weather and fewer crowds make it the ideal time to explore Italy’s southern gems—with Kevin, Cristyne, and Linda as your guides.
The episode wraps with a flurry of festive tips: snowflake lighting on Fifth Avenue, the NY Botanical Garden train show, and the tail end of the NY Comedy Festival. Kevin and Cristyne remind us that laughter, lights, and travel are the perfect ingredients for a holiday season that sparkles brighter than a Glinda Shake.
