VIDEO: 'The Schmoozer' of WFAN 660, Live From Beth Sholom

Speaking in front of a group that he called "larger than my radio audience," host Steve Somers of WFAN 660 AM in New York, known on air as "The Schmoozer," talked sports over breakfast at Sunday morning. Watch highlights from the event in the video at right.

Somers—an avid New York Mets and New York Rangers fan—has worked at WFAN for 24 years, at one point co-hosting the 10 a.m.-1 p.m. slot with Russ Salzberg in a program titled "The Sweater and the Schmoozer." Now, Somers can be heard anywhere from 6:30 p.m. to 2 a.m., depending on whether WFAN airs a sporting event that night.

Frequent callers to Somers' show include Jerry Seinfeld, who calls himself "Jerry from Queens." At Beth Sholom, Somers got to meet longtime caller "Kenny from Wyckoff."

Here are some sound bites from Somers' talk on Sunday:

On New York City—"You run into the best and worst from everything."

On dating when he was younger—"All the Jewish girls I dated reminded me of my aunts. They were like 15 going on 50."

On his parents' thoughts about his career—"My mother and father never gave up on me, but my father said maybe [I should be] a shoe salesman."

On Mike Francesa, host during WFAN's coveted afternoon slot—"I think he's brilliant, and maybe condescending, maybe with the ego ... but who cares? He's great at what he does."

On where he stands among WFAN's hosts—"I'm not the smartest there and I'm not the deepest there, but I can be the entertaining one and the creative one, and I take pride in that."

On why he needs good callers—"I'm making a living talking, talking and talking, and saying nothing."

On athletes as role models—"In a perfect world, your parents should be role models. But they're not athletic."

On air time—"You have to look at it, whether it's 3 in the morning or 3 in the afternoon, like it's prime real estate."
