“Nick D has mastered the art of the interview: it’s always fresh, consistently effortless, and he makes it entertaining for both the guest and the audience every single time. Nick is the simply the best.“

  • Dana DeLorenzo - (Actress) Star of “Ash Vs. Evil Dead” and “The Late Late Show W/Craig Ferguson”

“Nick is, without a doubt, an amazing talent, a great and knowledgeable interviewer, and a good friend. I have been a fan of his broadcast work since his early days with WGN's Roy Leonard, and had the honor of being on the air with him many times, through which I am honored to have formed a great friendship with him. Always a terrific personality and always a lot of fun!”

  • Rich Koz - (TV and Broadcast Legend) “Svengoolie”

"Nick Digilio is my go -to for expertise on movies -- he is an intrepid seeker of what is good-- and a truth-teller for what is not-- even on those very rare occasions when I disagree with him -- his opinions are reasoned balanced and immune to the "fashionable" consensus-- he is his own man and his own critic -- and we are better for having him. Bravo Nick!!!..."

  • Tony Fitzpatrick - (Artist/Actor/Writer/Broadcast Host) Founder of T.F. Projects & The Dime
