Good Night New York full episode: October 14, 2026

Fox 5, it's time for a good night, New York. Good evening, I'm Crystal Young. And I'm Ryan Christopher. Welcome to Good Night, New York. I want you to name that dance as opposed to name that tune. It's moving and grooving. Oh, I like that. Moving, yeah, moving, yeah. Okay, wait, I can do it too. No? Okay, wait, I feel like you got an extra little pop in it. No doubt. Okay. Wait, I got some shows to pass too. It's the same feeling that always gets fine. All right. Why are we talking candy? I don't know. Because we're talking about candy tonight. We're just two weeks away from Halloween. We got our costumes ready. I think yesterday in our meeting, we picked our costume. What we're going to wear to the show. I don't know if this is a final decision, though. I don't know. We might have to go back. Well, mine is way more wonky than yours. It's very wonky. OK. And it could be brilliant. It's kind of fly. But anyways, we'll keep it at that. All right. But let's talk about our Halloween candy. No more. We don't want spill any more tea about our costumes there but there was this data that was just released about the most popular candies so number one Crystal, let's break it down for everybody all right here we go number one on the list is Reese's Peanut Butter Cups I was getting on Moses our producer was calling it Reese's I'm like where did you grow up Reese's do you like because I'm do you like Reese's I'm I do but I don't want to like jump over any hoops and beat my chest and scream it on the top of a mountain wow like I go that far with candy huh no I like it but you know it's okay it's good I got I got beef with peanut butter and candy like I'm a fan of nut butters like I like almond butters but I'm not a peanut butter guy in chocolate I know it's an unpopular demand or thought yeah yeah yeah okay you know what maybe you need some nougat with that you know I'm a fan of nougat some nougat with the nut butter yes where's this going I don't know but it's heavy on the end you get nut butter okay all right so Reese's Peanut Butter Cups followed by M&M's yeah Hershey's milk chocolate at number three yes regular M&M's are number four and number five is the candy that Ryan hates we don't we don't want that keep that nougat to yourself who wants a Snickers that's like the cheap like a Snickers okay if you get your dating deal breaker if you say, oh I really don't like Snickers, I'll be like, check please. So you mean to tell me Snickers is better than Milky Way? I mean to tell you, yes. I don't think so. I disagree. And that's okay. We can agree to disagree. 98% of America I think agrees with me. Well, guess what? I'm also the guy that says I prefer almond nuts in my candy over peanut butter. Oh, guess what? Me too. Oh, okay. Okay, I'll take the almond over peanut. How about Mounds vs. Almond Joy? Oh, Almond Joy. Almond Joy is better in that case, right? Come on. Now, those are almonds in there, right? Yes. Okay. I get confused with the nuts and the chocolate. My mom's name is Joy, but I just like a nut, I like a little something extra, yeah sometimes you feel like one, sometimes you don't yeah, but chocolate candies made up the top seven of the ten. Now the only outliers that were not chocolates were Sour Patch Kids. That ain't even right, I kind of like Sour Patch, okay, okay. How about candy corn? Absolutely not. Okay, okay, I feel like if you like candy corn, then that's a first day deal breaker. True that, yeah right, totally. Okay, well let me just ask you this: what's the flavor of candy corn? Do you know? Oh damn is it like butterscotch? It's vanilla. Now why would you take something that looks like corn and make it vanilla flavored? Although it shouldn't be corn flavored here's the deal it shouldn't be a candy candy corn just go back where you came let's let's zoom out Crystal and look at the whole country and then the tri-state area in particular okay it's kind of the opposite so Crystal yes you're not a fan of Swedish Fish right no no i love anything gummy oh if it has that anything gummy yeah well yes all types of gummies why i'm just asking in case in case you go to a halloween party and we happen to be there i just want to make sure that the host is providing the gummies you want it was a candy corn gummy right then i wouldn't like it okay yeah but other than that i'm open all right i'm just talking about all types of gummies here okay but open to that high fructose corn syrup messes with your veins apparently so that's bad yeah it's bad for you people don't do it all right okay all right meanwhile the u.s cities that bought the least amount of candy yeah and the most amount of candy might have some very interesting and revealing results we really got to get to the bottom okay we're getting deep into candy okay anchorage alaska and most of the pacific northwest made up the cities that bought the most candy that's interesting right are they bored Do they want candy? They got nothing to do. Sugar, okay, true that. While five of the top six cities that bought the least amount of candy came from New York or New Jersey with New York buying the least and New York buying the sixth fewest amounts of candy. So New York and New Jersey are less about candy. Oh, I like that. Well, there's more to do here, number one, than Anchorage, Alaska. Then sit around and just eat a bowl of candy. And I would assume that there are more adults without kids here, so do you think maybe people, like there's more people who just don't celebrate or necessarily buy a bunch of candy for kids right you know what okay those are interesting theories i don't know hey it's it's a reach on that one and then in alaska what else are you doing on halloween like nothing no in the snow i know exactly hanging out in your igloo yeah that sounds like fun actually eating a snicker bar some candy corn all right okay now you crossed the line with snickers okay now now we got beef a bridge too far a little bit too far okay but up next halloween might be just two weeks away but it's never too early to think about christmas already is that time of year it is we have a guest that's taking part in a very unique christmas movie it's not what you expect yes arden marine she is in a movie called christmas at the crinkles and she's going to join us on the couch Good night New York, all of New York, we're all coming back for you What is happening neighbors we are The Kringles. This Halloween. This obsession with Christmas is kind of weird. Do they go that big every year? They go that big all year. You're invited. You're coming for Christmas. We're doing what we do best. I guess we're doing Christmas at the Kringles. To Christmas at the Kringles. So the holiday horror comedy, I know those things don't sound like they go together, Christmas at the Kringles hits theaters Friday, October 30th. And we've got to check it out because it's playing Miss Kringle. She's a veteran comedian and actress who has stolen many TV scenes on the big screen for nearly 30 years. She's, of course, from MADtv and her hit Netflix series Freebird. We welcome the one and only Miss Arden Marine to Good Night. Best name this side of the Mississippi. Thank you so much. Before we get into the movie, let's just talk candy. What's your favorite Halloween candy? My favorite Halloween? I feel like I would get one Snickers a year because it's expensive. I would hoard it, so I'd go for the Smarties first. Okay, do you go for the fun size or the full size? I mean I don't think I ever got a full size oh wow well I I would if I got a full size forget it Okay do people give out full-size Snickers Hey yeah it depends on the house you go to in a nice neighborhood personally it's just a hypothetical question you got like an IRA or something I see you I already spent all that you know what I'm gonna do for Halloween I'm gonna make treats for people no not true no tricks tricks there you go I'm gonna have zero candy you ring my door I'm gonna pull a rabbit out of the hat or something I like that but you won't be getting no candy i like that you don't even think that you could give a trick it's sort of an option isn't it it's an option i'd be like trick people trick people to trick me i'm gonna pull a rabbit out of the hat i'm gonna trick you into thinking i got some candy but i don't i haven't i like it it's 2026 you do you you do you i'll let you know how that works out if i get kicked by some unruly seven-year-old oh come on now this makes me happy it does good yeah you make us happy just by being Congrats on this movie and we miss you and we miss MADtv.

The New York City Wine and Food Festival getting underway this weekend, and now they're hosting their very own Burger Bash. So tomorrow night, well, that's happening tomorrow night, but tonight we're going to have our own Burger Bash. Yes. Do you want to stay and eat some burgers? Yeah. Three different burger choices. Don't tell me what a good time. It's a great area. Lots of burgers, lots of sides, lots of shakes. I like flavors. Good night, New York. Sweet times. Fun. All right, for 18 years, Blue Moon Burger Bash, it has been the festival's biggest, boldest, most crave-worthy competition, bringing together New York City's top chefs, burger lovers, and culinary heavyweights for one unforgettable night of burgers, beers, and bragging rights. Crystal? Yes, the Burger Bash kicks off the New York City Wine and Food Festival tomorrow. And in tribute, we have chefs here for our own Good Night New York Burger Bash. That's right. From New Jersey's Capon Burger is Chef Josh Capon. And from Harlem Shake, do the Harlem Shake right here in New York City, we have the founder and CEO, Yelena Pasik, and co-owner, Dardra Coxum. And of course, last year's winner of the Burger Bash, we're talking about Skinny Louie's. We got the VP of Operations, Jonathan Wance. Guys, welcome to Good Night, New York. We got some beef here on the show. Yes, we do. But we got other things. Okay. That's right. Where's the beef? It's in our studio right now. That's right. And we got to start with the reigning champ, Skinny Louie. Okay, let's do it. And we got a belt for bragging rights, too. Okay. So, are you nervous? And what makes your burger so special? We're the reigning champs, so no, not nervous. Okay, I like that. Not nervous at all. He's confident. Okay. How about you? Yeah, so for us, the key is simplicity. you know on our menu we only have three burgers three shakes and fries that's it that's our entire menu we don't change it do it very simple but do it the best we can possibly do it okay now one thing i noticed your burger is trying to escape the bun it is like like your burger is on steroids but i like that you can nibble around the edge to even it off and that's the best part especially with smash burgers it's it's got that nice little crust around the edge of it you bite that before anything else gotcha what's on your burger yeah so uh we have both of our burgers here uh the one that we won last year which is our very best burger and then our new burger for this year's competition which we call the naughty burger what's naughty about it yeah so we've got a uh pickled jalapeno oh we have a garlic aioli oh uh and a maple bacon jam oh that sounds good now how's louie doing is he still skinny is he fat what's the deal yeah louie's been eating way too many burgers. Louie's not quite skinny anymore. He's medium-sized. Medium-sized. It's all good. And Chef Capon, I mean, you're known for so much, and it's great that now you're bringing burgers to the bash here. Now, is this your personal burger right here? That is the eight-time award-winning championship. Wow! All right, don't be bashful now. The champ's here. The champ is here. This is no joke. And that's going to go to anybody this year. Eight-time award-winning. We've got the Smoke Show this year. Caramelized onion and bacon jam. secret schmear, crispy onions, American cheese on a toasted bun. Oh, shoot. But I think the Burger Bash for me is just one of my favorite days of the year. Brings out to the best of the best. It's like the Super Bowl of burgers. Right up there with Thanksgiving and Super Bowl. Definitely one of my favorite days of the year. Rachel Ray, Pat LaFreda, Lee Schrager. Making magic happen one burger at a time. The whole crew. Now, what makes your burger different? Because we just saw Skinny Louie. It seems very simplistic. I think just a whole lot of love. I don't know Skinny Louie. I don't know. A lot of love. I think for the most part, all burgers are created equal. We all love what we do. You can taste the passion in each and every bite. But we all add a little spice. A little bacon-onion jam. They are not all created equal. We are all making the world a better place one burger at a time. Okay, now that I believe. That's true. I want to know what's your secret to the secret salt. What's that going on there? Oh, secret shmear. If I told you it wouldn't be a secret, but I'll tell you one thing. It's very similar to his, and it's very similar to hers. Oh, okay. Keep your shmear to yourself. Keep your shmear to yourself. Continuity. Let's talk Harlem Shake. Okay. So these shakes look incredible as well, which all three of you guys brought, which we appreciate. So let's talk about the burgers and the shake. And how long have you guys been around for? So we've actually been around for 13 years. We have two locations, one in Harlem and one in Park Slope. And another one soon coming to Brooklyn as well. Another one soon coming to Brooklyn in Williamsburg and the Upper West Side. And today we actually teamed up with Oreo to bring a new delicious twist on our iconic Red Velvet shake, where we blend Oreo pieces, top it with whipped cream, Oreo crumbles, and red velvet crumbles as well. Very, very delicious. Like whipped cream. Wow. Very creative. It looks beautiful. And then how about for the burger? Yeah, we don't want to take away from the burger. Okay, all right. That's the start of the show. Yeah, for real. So tell us about your burger. So our burger is typical smash griddle burger, proprietary blend of Pat La Frida beef. We've been doing that since 2013. And our best and award-winning burger is Hot Mess, but we didn't bring that one today. Hot mess. Opposed to everyone today on the table, we have omitted bacon this year. We've been a little bit oversaturated with our bacon and cherry pepper relish. So this year we're doing something different. We're doing Granny Smith apple and scotch bonnet pepper relish. Wow. Very autumnal. Very fall. That is different. And the dapper sauce, which has a secret ingredient also in it. Everybody's got secrets. These burger people got lots of secrets. You got any secrets you want to share, Crystal? Not at this time. All right. Well, I think I got a secret, and that's that we're eating after this break. Oh, oh, yes. And we're going to start in the commercial break. We'll come back chewing. And we're going to tell you our favorites. It's all coming up. The Burger Bash on Good Night, New York. We'll be right back. That's right. Okay, my mouth is full. We are back to judge our Good Night, New York Burger Bash with the folks from K-Pond's Burgers, Harlem Shake, and Skinny Louie's. We have all three in studio. I'm currently chewing, and this is good. So I decided to start with Skinny Louie's since they're set in the standard. Oh, you did? Okay, well, that's good. How about you? What are you eating? Well, I'm also eating Skinny Louie's because you handed it to me. So what do you think? It's darn good. How'd you already eat half of the frigging thing? I tasted the truffling. Yeah, that is the 2025 New York Burger Bash winner right there. Oh, wow. There's a lot going on in that place. But in the best possible way. Yeah. Is there like a fruity something in there? Fruity? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. It's the secret sauce. There's some secret in there. Okay. Okay. Hold on. All right, hold on. I need to sip your, what do you call this? Oh, it's shake. A milkshake. Okay, hold on. Somebody's having a party over here. This is Crystal's dinner. This is it. Oh, my God. This is her lunch. Oh, my God. We move it on. We move it on. Okay, so moving on. Moving on. I'm going to hand you that whole thing. All right, all right. This is a smoke show from Kayfond's Burgers. We just opened up our second location. All right, this includes the schmear you cannot talk about. to smear caramelized onion bacon jam, shaved pickles. Oh, yeah. How you doing? Come on with it. Let's go. Come through, Josh. Burger Town Center. Come on down. You see, it makes you dance. When a burger makes you move like this, you know it's good. This makes you want to do the burger dance. It's a smoke show for sure. This is a good one. We actually call it the smoke show because we launched in Vegas. Our first location was in Las Vegas. And good tech stuff. Smoke show Vegas. We also have a blackjack on the menu, a little shrapnel thing going on. Last but certainly not least. Good, good. Okay, hand me. Harlem Shake. A little shake? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
