Jimmy Failla, host of "Fox News Saturday Night," shared a humorous anecdote about his early career, detailing how he double-parked his New York City taxi on Sixth Avenue to make his first appearance on FOX Business. Failla described the experience on Sean Hannity's podcast, "Hang Out With Sean Hannity."
Failla, who was still a working taxi driver at the time, explained that after performing at the Gotham Comedy Club, he received an offer to appear on "Kennedy," a show on FOX Business. To accommodate the television spot while still fulfilling his taxi shifts, he parked his cab illegally, with its trunk open and hazards flashing, to avoid a ticket.
"I literally went in and did a hit and ran back out and had to finish my shift," Failla told Hannity. He noted that he made sure to inform his passengers about his TV appearance, often to their disbelief.
Failla has since become a prominent figure across FOX News Media, hosting "Fox News Saturday Night" and the nationally syndicated radio show "FOX Across America."
