Sean Hannity at Patriot Awards

Sean Hannity croons Sinatra classic to express his feelings about Zohran Mamdani

Fox News host Sean Hannity led the audience of Fox Nation’s annual “Patriot Awards” show in a rendition of the Frank Sinatra song “New York, New York” Thursday that targeted Democratic Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani of New York City.

Mandani defeated former Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York and Republican mayoral nominee Curtis Sliwa Tuesday in the race to replace outgoing independent Mayor Eric Adams. Hannity, who announced he was leaving the Big Apple in January 2024, admitted to insomnia when he came up with the lyrics he set to the tune of the Sinatra classic.

“I knew comrade Marxist commie Mamdani was going to win. I knew. So one night, I have insomnia I can’t, I don’t sleep very well,” Hannity said. “One night I get up and I’m thinking, all right, how am I going to deal with this? You know, what can I do?

And so I started thinking, Frank Sinatra, New York, New York. Now, I go, I Google it, I print it out, I rewrite the words to this – one of the greatest songs that honors New York of all time. I’m going to need your help because I can’t sing to save my life.”
