Rita Moreno

EGOT winner Rita Moreno joins me for a truly unforgettable milestone—my 1000th show. From her groundbreaking career across film, television, and Broadway to her powerful voice that continues to shape the industry, Rita reflects on a lifetime of artistry, resilience, and impact. This is more than a conversation—it’s a moment in entertainment history. We laugh, we reflect, and we celebrate what it means to keep going, to persevere, and to build something lasting. Sitting across from a legend for this milestone reminded me exactly why this show exists—connection, storytelling, and honoring the voices that inspire us all. 1000 conversations later… and this one is something special. 🎙️ Watch The Roundtable with Robert Bannon on BroadwayWorld, YouTube, Spotify, iHeart, and all major platforms. 🌐 RobertBannon.com | 📲 @RobertMBannon The best is yet to come. #RitaMoreno #EGOT #RobertBannon #TheRoundtable #1000Shows #MilestoneMoment #Broadway #HollywoodLegend #Entertainment #TalkShow #Interview #ActorsLife #Theatre #Film #TVLegend #ViralInterview #HostLife #ContentCreator #NYC #Detroit #Inspiration #Legacy Learn more about your ad choices.
