Our guest this week is a Strip headliner since 1985, first at Evening at La Cage at the Riviera and later in Divas Las Vegas at Linq Hotel. His show was unceremoniously closed by Caesars Entertainment in June of 2018, amid a controversy centered on mismanagement of his relationship with Las Vegas charity Make-A-Wish Southern Nevada. All sides have moved on, and he is now the permanent host of “Legends In Concert” reviving his famous Joan Rivers portrayal. Legends is also a Las Vegas institution, dating to 1983. He is Frank Marino, and I talked to him about his career, his show’s closing and his revival as a star on the Strip.
