Wayne Newton on Rat Pack Memories and Becoming Mr. Las Vegas

Adam sits down one-on-one with the legendary Wayne Newton. Wayne gets into his childhood and explains how growing up with severe asthma led to him getting his start in Vegas as a teenager. He tells a story of when someone died in his audience and how their family demanded he keep playing before getting into some memories of the Rat Pack. Next, Wayne talks about how comedian Jack Benny helped him get into the main Vegas showrooms and how he reunited with his estranged brother. Finally, Adam learns the origins of the song “Danke Schoen” and gets into Wayne’s acting work and horse breeding. PLUGS: See Wayne Newton live at ‘Wayne: Up Close & Personal’ in Las Vegas.
