Rocco Right Now

By JULIETTE ROSSANT Superchefblog has learned that Rocco DiSpirito -- who has been off the air and out of broadcast since leaving WOR-AM in New York in December -- is resurfacing in Philadelphia for a one-time (so far) special called Rocco Right Now, tomorrow only (Saturday, March 4, 2006) 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. only on CBS's The Big Talker on WPHT-AM (1210). In the press release which WPHT sent to Superchefblog, Rocco is quoted as saying: I am really juiced about getting back behind the mic. You’re all invited to grab the good life with me and go. I’ll have opinions, the hottest guests, and hopefully more fun than I deserve. His guests will be: designer Isaac Mizrahi to talk about Sunday's Academy Awards; actor Steve Schirripa (AKA Bobby "Bacala" Baccalieri) to discuss The Sopranos' new season; local Philly restaurateur Stephen Starr to talk about his new Morimoto and Buddakan in New York; and Rocco's mother, Nicolina DiSpirito who is celebrating her 80th birthday.
