Bo Dietl was among the guests at Del Frisco’s Steakhouse in midtown Manhattan as Geraldo Rivera celebrated his new book The Geraldo Show: A Memoir with a book party hosted by Sean Hannity & Friends.
The former NYC Mayoral candidate joined Hannity, and Rivera’s wife Erica wishing the iconic broadcaster and author well wishes. Other guests included: comedians Gilbert Gottfried and Joe Piscopo,, Fox and Friends hosts Ainsley Earhardt and Brian Kilmeade, Fox-5’s Rosanna Scotto, rock promoter Ron Delsener, Judge Andrew Napolitano, Fox News anchors Bill Hemmer, Kimberly Guilfoyle, and Kennedy, comedian General John F. Campbell, Liz Claman, Tiki Barber, Curtis Silwa, Tamsen Fadal, Professor Alan Dershowitz, cosmetics czar John Demsey, style maven Alina Cho, attorneys Gerald Lefcourt and Dan Abrams, Andrew Stein, and John and Margo Catsimatidis.
In his introduction, Sean Hannity thanked everyone for coming and described Geraldo as “the older brother I never had” as well as “a true patriot who took a tremendous pay cut and left his big desk job at CNBC after 9/11 to go to Afghanistan as a war correspondent for Fox News. He did it because he lost friends and neighborsthat day. Nobody got closer to the action than Geraldo did. I remember talking with him night after night from Tora Bora and the other battlefields. Now he’s written a terrific book The Geraldo Show that I hope you all read.”
Said Geraldo: “As the Fox News experience has taught me, you don’t have to agree on every issue to really care for the other person. You can’t just be friends with people who are in lock step with you philosophically or politically. We disagree on a lot of issues, but Sean is my dear friend, one of my best friends on earth. I honor the fact that he trusts me to be on his number one rated program on a weekly basis.”
