Ed Koch
Biography
Ed Koch, an American lawyer, author, and film reviewer, was born in the Crotona Park East neighborhood of the Bronx and worked as a sole law practitioner from 1949 to 1964. He wrote the memoir Mayor, a best-seller that became a musical staged off-Broadway and later on Broadway. Later he joined a New York law firm, contributed movie and restaurant reviews to newspapers, radio, and television, and taught as an adjunct professor at New York University. From 1997 to 1999 he was the judge on The People's Court, and he hosted a radio talk show and the online series The Mayor at the Movies, where he gave a plus to films he liked and a minus to those he did not. He played himself in more than 60 films and television shows, among them The Muppets Take Manhattan (1984), and hosted Saturday Night Live.
