NEW YORK – Top Jewish radio personality Nachum Segal and NSN (The Nachum Segal Network) will present its seventh annual “Kosher Halftime Show” Sunday, Feb. 2. The show will include sketches connecting to late-night television shows and will feature comedian Ashley Blaker, entertainer Meir Kay and recording artist Simcha Leiner.
Meir Kay travels the streets of New York asking fellow New Yorkers football trivia “for an Abeles & Heymann salami/sausage” in a segment inspired by Billy Eichner’s “Billy on the Street - For a Dollar.” In another segment, Kay and Leiner do a riff on James Corden’s “Crosswalk the Musical,” by performing in a crosswalk on Central Avenue in Cedarhurst, New York. Kay and Leiner also duel it out in a three-round, lip-sync battle reminiscent of the lyrical competition on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Blaker will perform an impromptu standup during the show.
NSN's “Kosher Halftime Show” will again present four unique commercials from Kayco, including Mighty Sesame, Dorot Gardens, Wonder Melon and Kosher.com.
“The regular Halftime Show is an iconic American event and true spectacle,” said Segal, president and host of NSN. “The Kosher Halftime Show has become very popular for families who are looking for a wholesome show to watch and enjoy. This year, we reimagined the show and pulled the best late-night television sketches and created a show that families can watch live and share with their friends and family afterward.”
The show, hosted by Segal, debuts on www.nachumsegal.com at 8 p.m. ET Feb. 2. Sponsored by The Rothenberg Law Firm LLP, Abeles & Hymann, Ezer Mizion and Steinreich Communications the show can be followed on social media using #KHS2020.
