WFAN's Al Dukes scores touchdown at Empire City

WFAN Radio’s Al Dukes, the popular producer and ensemble member on the Boomer and Carton show, scored a touchdown at Dan Rooney’s Sports Bar ‎at Empire City Casino. Dukes was on hand to meet with fans during the AFC Wildcard games on Saturday, including the Pittsburgh Steelers stirring win over the Cincinnati Bengals.‎ Dan Rooney’s is an “official” Steelers bar.‎ Dukes got together with Empire City’s public relations rep John Cirillo, the longtime Chappaqua resident who is president of Cirillo World, and among the scores of zealots on hand to chat with the morning show biggie.

A father-son tandem also from Chappaqua, New York – Dave and Josh Benaroya – were among the football fanatics on hand to enjoy a beer and pulled pork sliders with Dukes.

Dukes, known for his zany song parodies and wacky holiday advice tips, was a smiling, gracious host to the many Boomer and Carton zealots on hand for the proceedings.

WFAN sponsored two $1,000 giveaways at Dan Rooney’s, one at halftime of each game.
