TMZ

Actor Nick Turturro was also in attendance ... he discussed his new project, "Delivering Happiness with Prince Street Pizza." Nick said while he enjoyed delivering pizza to Bill Burr in bed, his dream delivery would be to Robert De Niro -- or to Aaron Judge in the Yankees dugout ... though he doesn’t think the team is too happy with his tough criticism after they were eliminated from the playoffs last week.

00:00Alright Nick, first question, Yankee Stadium or TenderFest, who has better tenders?

00:07Yankee Stadium.

00:09Why?

00:10Because I'm a Yankee fan.

00:13I mean, you need to know I was a judge lately.

00:15I mean, TenderFest is like on steroids.

00:17But Yankee Stadium food is second to another.

00:20So, I can't take it away from the Yankee Stadium.

00:23Tell us about your new project.

00:24It's called Delivering Happiness with Prince Street Pizza.

00:27I've become a part kind of owner with them.

00:30And now we're doing a show about me actually delivering pizza as Nick Totoro.

00:34And I show up and it could be a celebrity, it could be a non-celebrity.

00:38And I'm actually delivering your pizza.

00:40And then in the course of it, we break into a conversation about whatever.

00:44It's kind of like fuck the cup, fuck show, podcast, slash, spice a life with Nick Totoro eating pizza as a delivery guy.

00:53What's been one of your favorite moments from shooting that so far?

00:55Oh my god, I've had a couple.

00:57Spike Lee recently was great in Brooklyn.

00:59Bill Burr in bed eating pizza.

01:02And then recently with Godfrey, the comedian, we had an iced tea thing that went crazy.

01:08We both love iced tea.

01:10And it's a really cool show.

01:12So check it out.

01:13It's Delivering Happiness.

01:14And it's really like becoming a thing.

01:16At the beginning I was like, I didn't know what it was.

01:18And now I'm like, okay, it's not really about the pizza.

01:21The pizza is my way in.

01:23To a world of whatever.

01:25I've always been like hanging out with me.

01:27People like to hang out with me, watch a ball kill me.

01:29You know, fat a good Yankee fan.

01:31Yeah.

01:32My pizza, I've always been a pizza lover.

01:34So it makes sense that I'm involved with pizza and doing a show with food.

01:39Because food is very seductive.

01:42It's very, you know, intoxicating.

01:45Who's your dream guest to deliver happiness and pizza to?

01:48It's a chicken temper competition.

01:49Dream guest?

01:50Yeah.

01:51Down in the front.

01:52God.

01:53It is not Coach Stella.

01:54She knows more.

01:55Yeah.

01:56Hard to say.

01:57Aaron Judge in the dugout, maybe?

01:59Well, we're going to get a lot.

02:01What?

02:02Yeah.

02:03That could be it, but I don't know if that'll happen.

02:06Yankees think I'm a little too critical.

02:08Okay.

02:09I mean, that would be a dream.

02:11But like I say, that's what it is, a dream.

02:14But I don't know.

02:15Maybe Robert De Niro, somebody like that would be kind of funny.

02:18Alright, last question.

02:19We've seen a lot of people play the Colonel in the KFC commercials.

02:23If there was a Colonel Sanders biopic, who would you choose to play Colonel Sanders?

02:28Play Colonel Sanders?

02:29Yeah.

02:30Oh my God.

02:31Chicken Sender legend.

02:32Who's that guy that plays the cowboy all the time with the great boys?

02:38Uh, Sam, uh, Sam Elliott?

02:40Sam Elliott.

02:41Sam Elliott.

02:42Sam Elliott.

02:43Yeah, that's a good one.

02:44Yeah, Sam Elliott.

02:45Yeah.

02:47That's a good one.

02:48Uh, man.

02:49Uh, yeah.

02:50Yeah.

02:51Yeah.

02:52Yeah.

02:53Yeah.

02:54Yeah, yeah.

02:55So you know what the heck?

02:56You know what the hell we can do to be fair.
