Hello Everybody, I would like to thank you for all the emails, text & post on when I’m coming back with the new season of Up Late with Johnny Potenza. As I posted months ago I’m stepping back from the grind of doing monthly shows to work on some new projects like the documentary “From Late Night to Up Late” & the new podcast “Breakin’ Ballz with Johnny P” with my co-host Lou Martini.

FYI, I been pumping out Late Night & Up Late shows since 2008 & it finally caught up to me to the point that I was mentally & physically burnt out from doing them. I was so overdue to taking a long brake from it. Working on these new projects has giving me a blast of new energy. I havn’t had this much fun in a long time & the people are great to work with. I recently posted a flyer for the Up Late show in 2025. I will only be doing limited shows every year at CMSI for now on.

Thank you for all the support. No matter where I land it’s all in God’s hands. Stay tuned! Best xoxo Johnny

December 2024

We will be back in production in 2025 with limited shows. Looking forward to seeing you all & I will leave you with this for now, have a great Thanksgiving & happy holiday season, Christmas, Hanukkah, ect. See you on Up Late in 2025! Best of peace & love, Johnny

Written & Formatted By Jean Ramsey. Jean was kind enough to put my show at the time Late Night with Johnny P in the book and well of my band NYB “None of Your Business”. Since I had Richie Scarlet on my show several times & Richie produced 2 Album’s/ CD’s for my band NYB he thought it would be a cool addition to the book. Request Jean Ramsey on Facebook & tell him I sent you.

November 2020

Hello all my family & friends, Hope everybody are hanging in there during these crazy times we live in. God willing everything will get back to normal sometime in the near future. As we are approaching Thanksgiving we all should take a moment to reflect on what we need to be thankful for & the meaning of Thanksgiving. For me I’m thankful for my wide range of family & friends that make my life a reason to life & for just being alive.

On another note me & my producer John Heiser have we been working behind the scenes on new ideas for the future for when we go back into production with our entertainment variety show “Up Late with Johnny Potenza”, the comedy sketch segments & future podcast. Specking of podcast for all you Entourage fans I want to introduce “Victory” the podcast starring Kevin Dillion, Doug Ellin & joined by Kevin Connolly. The show is very entertaining & funny with a lot of behind the scenes storys on each episode of the HBO hit tv series Entourage produced by Mark Wahberg. Many fans are hoping for a reboot of the show, myself included. It’s currenty my favorite podcast & I wish them all the best. Maybe one day we can have them on the show if the timing is right.

According to Mark Wahlberg, Entourage was initially conceived when his assistant asked if he could film Wahlberg and his friends, calling them "hilarious. Other reports credit Eric Weinstein, a long-time friend of Wahlberg, with the idea of filming the actor's group of friends. However, according to Donnie Carroll, who was the inspiration for the Turtle character, the idea for a show involving an actor and his friends had come from him. It had originated as a book idea, centered on Carroll's own life and his experiences with Wahlberg, titled From the 'Hood to Hollywood, A Soldier's Story.

To be more satirical of the Hollywood lifestyle, a fictional approach was chosen rather than a straight documentary in order to keep the content light, and avoid directly depicting Wahlberg's violent past. Vincent Chase was envisioned to be more similar to Wahlberg, but it was decided that some of his and his friends' activities (particularly some elements of their criminal past) would not work well on television. A lighter approach was subsequently decided upon. Just a little background on the origin of the show. Hope you all a great Thanksgiving!

Hello to all of my family, friends, and followers,

This is Johnny Potenza and I would like to take some time to address some thoughts and concerns that have been on my mind recently.

First things first -

Please be safe, be careful, and most importantly, be smart. Stay home unless it’s totally necessary to go out. If there is a need to leave the house, please protect yourselves at all times with rubber gloves and masks. Watch and listen to everything around you that is happening. This is as real as a heart attack. There are a lot of naïve people out there that have absolutely no respect for others and the serious situation that we are ALL dealing with regarding the coronavirus.

Remember - We ALL need to work together in saving our nation's lives. As Americans, we need to all join together and help each other get through this. This is all we have.

Last note -

Please don’t throw your rubber gloves and masks on the streets like I have been seeing. Put them in the garbage. You don't want germs and neither do we. This world is our home. That being said, stay positive and God Bless America!

Best,
Johnny P

Great time being back on the “Morning” show at Compound Media 12/10/19 with host Bill Schulz & the charming Joann Nosuchinsky.

Our first show went very good. We had a full studio audience & had to turn away a least a couple of dozzen request for seating. I must say it felt good but I’m rusty & it’s going to take a couple of shows to get my edge back. It was cool seeing everyone that came down, it seems like 2 years came & went. All the talent on the show were great but the only bumper was the day before the show our friend comedian Mike Marino canceled out on us due to a corporate gig. Next show is Jan.6, 2020.

Nov. 2019 Here are some stills from the new Martin Scorsese film “The Irishman” staring Al Pacino, Joe Pesci, Ray Romano & Robert Deniro. Funny story on how I got in the movie, I was called in by world known casting director Ellen Lewis for a read after seeing my show “Late Nigh with Johnny P” on MNN in Manhatten, Ellen is known for looking for new faces. The audition was for a small scene with Robert Deniro, I was called back a 2nd time but didn’t get the part but Ellen Lewis was kind enough to give me a couple of days as a day player in the wedding scene. A day player in the business is a featured part or scene with no speaking lines with Sag pay, so I was named “Wise Guy #3” & I was in the end credits as “Wise Guy #3” at the wedding. It was a great time & even better watching Martin Scorsese do his thing as well as seeing some on my favorite actors at work in person. I will always remember this day it was a moment to remember.

Newest update as of Oct.1, 2019 our first official “Up Late with Johnny Potenza” show will be taping Dec.5, 2019 @ CTV-Staten Island Community Television. Featuring actor Garry Pastore, director Mark Wiley’s “Made In Chinatown” with actor Tony Ray Rossi & my very special guest the one & only “The Amazing Kreskin”, Kreskin is one of the best mentalist around to this day and was on the Johnny Carson show 88 times. I am humbled to have all this great talent on my first show.

Hello to all my family & friends, Just wanted to thank everyone for all for your love & support during these hard times with the passing of my fianc’e Michele Divitto who passed away October 15, 2018 from stage 4 breast cancer. This has been a very heartbreaking year for myself, the family & all those who loved Michele. One thing I learned from this tragedy is that life is so short & we have to make the best of everyday with the ones we love because you never know when the last time you will see them. I would give my left arm to have Michele here with us today but God called upon his angel to come back to heaven. That being said I wish you all the very best of the holiday season & a safe happy new year. I will keep everyone updated 2019 whats next for Johnny P & the new production of “Up Late with Johnny Potenza” Best Always Johnny

My family & friends,
I'm writing with the heavyest heart I ever had to carry. Today October 15, 2018 my fiance who was the love of my life & best friend has passed away early this afternoon after a 5 year battle with breast cancer. Speaking for myself & our family we are devastated & heartbroken over the loss of Michele who was one of a kind with the biggest & most honest heart out of any woman I ever knew. Anyone who had the pleasure of having Michele as a family member or friend knew she was a special woman. We will miss her more than words will say. Untill we met again my sweet bear, I will carry you in my heart forever. 
Love Always Johnny

Hello family & friends,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            I'm checking in with everyone to let you all know that I'm enjoying my time off from the show just chilling, relaxing & working behind the scenes in the entertainment business. On June 21, 2018 I was honored to be presented with "The King's of Staten Island" award at the Richmond County Country Club. That was a great night that I shared with family & friends.

 It's official that my new show will start taping in January 2019. I'm in pre-production with my music producer & dear friend Richie Scarlet for our future recordings. Richie Scarlet is currently playing in the Ace Frehley Band, Ace is the original guitarist of the legendary rock band KISS & rock n' roll hall of famer. Richie Scarlet also produced my former band NYB "None of Your Business". One of the songs we will be recording is the new opening theme song for my new late night show "Up Late with Johnny Potenza", I'm looking to get the sound of the old school big band era of Benny Goodman, Buddy Rich meets the funk rock sound of todays genre. I will havesome top players on the recordings. I'm also writing with my pal Mark Montague from the Peter Criss Band, Five for Fighting & solo artist. Mark also wrote & recorded with NYB, also my good friend recording engineer & my sound engineer for the Late Night with Johnny P Show Frankie D'Augusta. Frankie is best known for engineering "Frampton Comes Alive" & the list goes on. All I can say now is that some members of NYB & my late night band Killer Joe & the lido soul revue will be on the recording as well. Still trying to coordinate the players & recording sessions, we will keep you all posted.                                                                                                                                          Best Johnny P                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         July 2018
