Locals pack Carson Nugget for early viewing of 'Casino Boss' filmed in Carson City this summer
It was a packed house Wednesday night at the Carson Nugget in Carson City with a public viewing of "Casino Boss," a new TV show filmed in the capital city this summer starring comedian and Saturday Night Live alum Joe Piscopo and featuring more than 150 locals who were cast as extras.
The show was written by the Carson Nugget’s owner, Dean DiLullo and is loosely based on the iconic history of the Carson Nugget. It stars actor, comedian and Saturday Night Live alum Joe Piscopo.
DiLullo’s career has exposed him to all aspects of running a casino, from casino marketing to finance to operations. His 33 years in the gaming industry inspired him to create “Casino Boss,” a new TV sitcom loosely based on the daily life of a Casino Boss at the Carson Nugget Casino Hotel.
The premise of the script is “how hard can it be to run a casino” and chronicles every day funny things that happen in the casino.
Local talent comedians Leslie Townsend, Roger Diez, Cameron Crane, Dan Kimm and Sophie Moeller are part of the cast. It was filmed at the casino in August. Go here for the original story.
