I was a guest on his show in the early 80s. A NY legend and nice guy.

I loved to watch the Joe Franklin show when I was a kid. I learned so much about show business and its stars from him. And most importantly I learned to love Hoffman soda too!!! He deserves a street named after him. He was and still is a New York institution!!! Let’s do this!!!

Lifelong Joe Franklin Fan.I bought a Fedora Hat from him that belonged to Raymond Burr. My nephew is together with his only granddaughter in Seattle.

He’s a legend and an institution that’s a deep part of nyc

Hope it happens.

Joe Franklin was a New York icon and a major figure in New York's entertainment industry. He should be memorialized by having a street named after him in the heart of Manhattan.

Loved his show! I met him on the street in Midtown years ago.

Joe Franklin so deserves this Keep his memory alive.

Joe Franklin deserves this,a true son of N.Y.C.

Thanks to Joe Franklin for keeping stars like Al Jolson, Eddie Cantor etc in the public eye.

Mr. Franklin was very encouraging and supportive when I was developing a project on Eddie Fisher.

Joe Franklin deserves this.

Joe deserves this honor!

As Lou Canova said, “ What can I say,Joe.You ARE New York!”

Joe was a good friend since I was a young child actor making the rounds. He got a kick out of this youthful nostalgiac.
