So I never asked 69 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: you like a girl growing up in Brooklyn, Yes, with 70 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: a great, great family. It's very well known here in 71 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: New York City. Then later on your family opens up 72 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: Fresco by Scotto, which is just the premiere restaurant for 73 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: people in media and politics for lunch and dinner. 74 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 2: First of all, where did the restaurant come from? How 75 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 2: did that get toto? 76 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 3: Okay, so this is the story. So my brothers were 77 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 3: living in California and they had a restaurant. My brother 78 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 3: John had this place called Bar One. It was near 79 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 3: Sunset Tower, and it was crazy, like we would go 80 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 3: visit him and they would be like throwing out Julia 81 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 3: Roberts out of the club because she had no shoes on. 82 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 3: Sliced Alan was there. I mean, it was just it's, 83 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 3: you know, the same players back then are the same 84 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 3: players back right now? Anyway, So my mother thought like 85 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 3: they were going to get in trouble, which they did, 86 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 3: and so she said, what will it take to get 87 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 3: you back to New York? And they said a restaurant. 88 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 3: My mother, who had volunteered her whole life, really didn't 89 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 3: know about, you know, dollars and cents. And she said, 90 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 3: we're going to open up a restaurant. When she realized 91 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 3: how much it would cost, she mortgaged the family home 92 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 3: in Brooklyn. Now she was retirement age when she mortgaged 93 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 3: the family where this this was nineteen ninety three. We're 94 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 3: celebrating our thirtieth anniversary at Fresco by Scottola Fall. So 95 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 3: it was nineteen ninety three, and my dad didn't think 96 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 3: it was a good idea. He was like, we should be, 97 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 3: you know, thinking about our future. We're at retirement age. 98 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 3: And she said, I want to do this for our family. 99 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 3: And since it was her house, it was her family's house. 100 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 3: She mortgaged the house in Brooklyn. Never knew this, Yeah, 101 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 3: and so, and it wasn't easy because, don't forget, my 102 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 3: mom had no track record as a businesswoman. So when 103 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 3: they found various places, nobody wanted to do business with 104 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 3: her because she had no track record as a bit 105 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 3: business woman. And we went to one place which is 106 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:09,919 Speaker 3: now the Monkey Bar. It's Charles, that Charles Steakhouse in Midtown, Okay, 107 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 3: And we wound up not taking that place, and we 108 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 3: found Fresco by Scotto on fifty second Street two blocks away. 109 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:22,119 Speaker 3: So when they were doing the negotiations for the restaurant, 110 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 3: the real estate person said, I'm going to bring the 111 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 3: old owner of this restaurant in here, and I'm going 112 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 3: to tell him if the Scottos can't make it, he 113 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 3: just gets the keys back. Like in other words, like 114 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 3: I don't really believe that you're going to do this. 115 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 3: So I'm just going to give the keys back to 116 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 3: the other guy who was failing in that spot. 117 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 2: I love that. 118 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: And this is always a good thing to go back to, 119 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 1: is people who doubted you. It makes you work extra 120 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: hard to prove them very wrong. 121 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 3: I know. And it's so funny. So my mother and 122 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 3: I went to a clairvoyant and the Claire Waran said, 123 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 3: you are going to have politicians, You're gonna have royalty, 124 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 3: you're gonna have presidents. And my mother totally believed it. 125 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 3: She's like, this is gonna happen, and what were you thinking? 126 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 3: And I was thinking, is this guy a whack or whatever? 127 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 3: But seriously, we've had presidents Clinton, Biden, Trump, We've had royalty, 128 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 3: Princess Beatrice and Princess Fergie. We've had celebrities Elvis Duran 129 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 3: sliced the Loane Jennifer Aniston. I mean, just crazy. 130 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 2: We're always rolling through there, and. 131 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 3: You know, of course all our favorite food influencers as well. 132 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 3: But we've had it all. That clairvoyant was absolutely right. 133 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 3: Mama's right to believe it. 134 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: So not knowing anything about business, not knowing especially not 135 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: knowing anything about a restaurant. Everyone says, don't open a restaurant. 136 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: It's the worst idea ever. You guys have been doing 137 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: this for thirty years. Fresco by Scatto still is the 138 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: hottest seat in town. 139 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 3: Thank you. But it takes a lot of massaging. As 140 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 3: you know. There are times where we go out and 141 00:06:58,640 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 3: I go I have to go back to the restaur 142 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 3: So and so is going to be there. I have 143 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 3: to show my face. It's you have to nurture that business. 144 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 3: It's it's not easy doing, you know, business in New York. 145 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: Well, and keep in mind, Rosanna is doing this while 146 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: she's hosting a TV show every morning on Fox five 147 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: in New York City.

I was really terrible. I couldn't type 176 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 3: that fast, especially with the sports scores. But they then 177 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 3: promoted me to researcher and I kind of worked my 178 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 3: way up. Very different back then, I mean, you know, 179 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 3: it was very much guys did like the hard news 180 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 3: stuff to men's club, Yeah, Woyn's club. And it followed 181 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 3: me really like up until you know Fox five, and 182 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 3: then I had to like flex my muscle a little 183 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 3: bit because you know, even in the beginning Fox five, 184 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 3: all the guys were getting the great assignments and I 185 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 3: was kind of getting the lifestyle stories until the preppy murder. Trall. 186 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 3: Now I bring this up because he's made news again 187 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 3: just recently. Bring everyone up to okay, ninety something, yeah, yeah, 188 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,719 Speaker 3: So what happened was this good looking guy in New 189 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 3: York City going off to college, is accused of killing 190 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 3: a woman in Central Park and they were friends. He 191 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 3: wound up using the rough sex defense. He wound up 192 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 3: taking a plea deal in the case, got out of 193 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 3: jail fifteen years later, and then gets in trouble with 194 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 3: drugs and winds up going away again for a heroine. 195 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:42,079 Speaker 3: I don't know if it was distribution or something. Anyway, 196 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 3: he just got out of jail on parole just the 197 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 3: other day, just the other day anyway. So that was 198 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 3: one of the first stories that I was not on. 199 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 3: I was not assigned to that story, but I knew 200 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 3: the victim's family, and I went to my boss and 201 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 3: I said, another eleven family, and I think they'll talk 202 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 3: to me. And he said, well, if you get an interview. 203 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 3: The story's yours. 204 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 2: So there you go, and there you go. 205 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 3: And that's how I broke through. And it went, you know, 206 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 3: it kind of like one one thing leads to another, right, 207 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 3: I did a lot of trials back then. Woody Allen 208 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 3: me a pharaoh custody case. 209 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 2: Well, you were almost personally involved in that as. 210 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 3: Well, because in a strange way, somebody believed that Woody 211 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 3: Allen was going to get away with the initial accusations, 212 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 3: and so they brought the tape of his daughter, Dylan, 213 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 3: making these accusations that he inappropriately touched her. He was 214 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 3: afraid that Woody Allen was such a big store in 215 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 3: New York City at that time, Beloved Beloved, he was 216 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 3: New York right, that this would completely get swept under 217 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 3: the rug without being looked at. So we got the tape, 218 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 3: we looked at it, we had our lawyers luck at it. 219 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 3: We could never put it on the air, but I 220 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 3: went on the air and paraphrased what Dylan said, and 221 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 3: we made international news. In those days, there was no 222 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 3: social media. We had people calling from all over the world. 223 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 3: They wanted me on the show. And at that point everybody, 224 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 3: my bosses were like No, she's ours. That's it. 225 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 2: Oh so now you're like the prize possession. 226 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 3: Prize possession. You're not allowed to talk to anybody. All 227 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 3: information will be disseminated on Fox five and a current affair. 228 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 2: Oh if I was your boss, I'd say the same thing. 229 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 3: And so, I mean we covered that story for over 230 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 3: a year. 231 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 2: Okay. 232 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: So Rosanna, you know, doing your thing in the boys club, 233 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: in the newsroom, and you start to get this traction right, 234 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: did the men treat you differently? Did things change a 235 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: little bit a little in a good way or a 236 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: bad way? 237 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 3: No, in a good way. First, I think there was 238 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 3: a little jealousy. And then you know, it's funny. I 239 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,719 Speaker 3: look at some of the pictures with the guys back then, 240 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 3: like you could see they're giving me the sly you know, 241 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 3: the side eye. But I think then I, you know, 242 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 3: I worked it over. I was always like, you know, unassuming, 243 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 3: humble Brooklyn girl. Oh my god, pinch me. I can't 244 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 3: believe I'm doing what I'm doing right now.

I want them to come back. 373 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 3: You are so kind, you do, but you still elicit 374 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 3: the same information. You just have a different approach. 375 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 1: Well, one approach that you and I both have is 376 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 1: disarming our guests, making them feel at home, making them 377 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 1: feel comfortable. If they feel comfortable, then they're more likely 378 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:00,160 Speaker 1: to open up to you. 379 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 3: Yeah.

I mean, this 384 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 3: is a crazy stuff. 385 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 2: You know that was all pre planned by the way 386 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 2: they didn't really break into my apartment. 387 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 3: They didn't, darn it. That was my fantasy anyway. But 388 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 3: everybody trusts you, Elvis, and they know that you're gonna 389 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 3: ask the right question. 390 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 2: You're turning this around. 391 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 3: This is my job. 392 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,360 Speaker 2: This is I know. I know it's hard being an interviewer, 393 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 2: being interviewed. 394 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 1: This is one of the most difficult things I've ever done, 395 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: being interviewed, But interviewing you is easy. 396 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,120 Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go back to something. 397 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:46,679 Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about your ambition to get into this business. Right, 398 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,919 Speaker 1: you were ambitious. You moved away from New York all 399 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:51,639 Speaker 1: the way to Atlanta.

You know, in the beginning, you know, yeah, 457 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 3: you want to interview the President of the United States, 458 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 3: and of course the mayor and the governor but quality 459 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 3: of life you live in New York. It's a time 460 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 3: where we're seeing so many changes. Crime, things are dirty. 461 00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,959 Speaker 3: I just want things to be better for my children 462 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 3: and possibly grandchildren down the road. And so if I 463 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 3: can work my little magic every day to make New 464 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,880 Speaker 3: York City a better place to live, that's my focus. 465 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 3: You know. I don't want to come on TV every 466 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 3: day and be an a sayer and you know, hit 467 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 3: up all the wrong things that are happening in town. 468 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 3: But maybe that's what we need to do to improve. 469 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 2: Now. 470 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 1: You, of course, are owning New York City. Have you 471 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: ever wanted to be the National Journey? 472 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 2: Yes? Yes, and why aren't you doing that? 473 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 3: In the beginning, everybody said my accent was a problem. 474 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,120 Speaker 2: You do have a New York accent? Really, you do? 475 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 3: What do you mean by that? You was talking to me, 476 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:56,399 Speaker 3: you know? 477 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,959 Speaker 2: Okay, So Danielle on our show has a bronx accent. 478 00:23:59,000 --> 00:23:59,919 Speaker 3: I never noticed, and we. 479 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 2: Were told that our show would. 480 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: Not work on a radio station in Portland, Oregon because 481 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 1: of her accent. We have proven that theory wrong across 482 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: the country through the Midwest, where we're number one in 483 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,440 Speaker 1: Des Moines and number one and these other cities where 484 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 1: we never thought we'd be number one. It's her accent 485 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: that lets people know she's being herself, She's being her real, 486 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: true self. And I think they all made a stupid 487 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: mistake and thinking your accent would have been a problem. 488 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 3: It was a real detriment because you are yourself. So 489 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 3: in the beginning, they sent me Channel seven, sent me 490 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 3: to a speech coach, Lillian Wilder. Oh, do you remember, Lilyan. 491 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: No, but just the fact that they wanted to change 492 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 1: something that really is the backbone of who is And 493 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: then I understand that, right. 494 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,679 Speaker 3: Right, so interestingly enough that you say that. So then 495 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,119 Speaker 3: when I moved to Channel five, I was fired and 496 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 3: moved to Channel five. They continue with the speech lessons, 497 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 3: and finally the teacher said to me, I give up. 498 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 3: So I said, fine, because I can't be myself. I 499 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 3: can't be because everybody kept saying, you know, you're not 500 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 3: Rosanna on the air, and I kept saying, well, because 501 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,400 Speaker 3: you want me to sound like somebody I'm not, and 502 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 3: my personality is tied up with my accent. 503 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,199 Speaker 1: You, by the way, when you watch Rosanna Scotto, she 504 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 1: is Rosanna Scotto on camera and off the camera. Thank 505 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: you you still get enthusiastic.
