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!!!

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.

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