Sopranos Star Gets Cooking
Watch out, Mario Batali. Sopranos enforcer Steven Schirripa is looking to muscle in on your territory.
The actor, whose Bobby "Bacala" Baccalieri was whacked in the run-up to the series' finale this spring, has signed on to host his own cuisine-infused series.
Dubbed Steve Schirripa's Hungry, according to the Hollywood Reporter, the new cooking show has been picked up for a nine-episode run this December on Rainbow Media's free on-demand network, Lifeskool. Each episode will feature a segment with Schirripa serving up Italian-American dishes inspired by his book, The Goomba Diet: Living Large and Lovin' It, published last year.
Along the way, he'll introduce viewers to some of his favorite New York City eateries, sit down with top chefs, learn various slicing and dicing "techniques" from butchers about town, binge on mozzarella and provolone at local cheese shops and grab a few cannolis at some old pastry haunts.
"It's going to be a mixture of comedy, history [of foods] and of course the cooking part and the stuff about lifestyle," Schirripa told the trade. "I'm a regular guy, and this is regular food for the masses. Whether you're here in New York or in St. Louis or Ohio, you're going to relate to it."
Schirripa will also play host to celebrity guests—no doubt some of his old Sopranos pals will oblige—and also conduct man-on-the-street interviews about Italian-American culture and lifestyles.
Aside from his culinary pursuits, the native New Yorker has been spending his post-Sopranos life as a correspondent for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and as emcee for Spike TV's Casino Cinema.
Schirripa is also lending his voice to a Sesame Street-themed ABC holiday special, Elmo's Christmas Countdown, and has a role in the upcoming indie romantic comedy That's Amore! He recently sealed a deal with Nickelodeon to turn his upcoming book, Nicky Deuce: Welcome to the Family, into a TV movie.
Meanwhile, in other news involving former Sopranos goombahs, Edie Falco is set to guest star in a three-episode arc on NBC's 30 Rock when it returns to the airwaves for its new season on Oct. 4.
James Gandolfini's Alive Day Memories: Home from Iraq, a documentary series featuring the actor having conversations with soldiers who nearly died in the conflict, premiered Sunday on HBO.
And finally, last Friday in a case of life imitating art, New York police are investigating the detonation of a pipe bomb outside Sopranos alum Michael Imperioli's nonprofit Chelsea theater, Studio Dante.
So far, investigators have no suspects and do not know why anyone would want to set off such an explosion, but mayor Michael Bloomberg pledged to get to the bottom of it.
The Sopranos ensemble is expected to reunite one more time this weekend, as the show is up for 15 Emmy Awards, including Best Drama Series.
