In what may be the oddest coupling in radio history, former Democratic Congressman Anthony Weiner will be co-hosting a New York show with Guardian Angels founder and former Republican mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa.
The ex-pol — who was sidelined by a number of sexting scandals, and sentenced to 21 months in federal prison for transferring obscene material to a minor — will co-host a new opinion program called “The Left vs The Right” on John Catsimatidis’ 77 WABC Radio starting this weekend.
But Weiner says the new high-profile gig isn’t part of a larger comeback plan as a media maven.
“I am not going back into public life, I am doing a radio show with a friend of mine,” he exclusively tells Page Six. He added, “It’s not a conscious decision,” before joking to us, “I have a face for radio, but I don’t know if I have a place in radio as a career. Sometimes it is what it is.”
We’re told the new show — which will focus on topics affecting New York City — will give equal time to the conservative and liberal perspectives, and will also not shy away from Weiner’s past.
“There’s a lot of water under the bridge,” Weiner tells us. “There have been a lot of opportunities for me to process a lot of stuff. A lot of time has passed. I don’t think I would be going on the radio if I didn’t think Curtis or listeners would ask tough questions.”

Commence with the weiner jokes!
He got off easy. He was not charged with the higher level crime which he apparently did- getting the minor girl to produce p@rn (of herself) and to send it to him. Ordinary citizens would not have received the soft treatment he received.
Isn’t Carlos Danger a registered sex offender?
I started reading this to Mr K (not the one on this forum) and he said “Wait - you mean he’s not in jail?” (About A Weiner)
Haha, no, my dear: He’s a Democrat AND one of Hilldog’s minions.
Weiner-Holder 2024
The job prospects are not good for disgraced ex pols who waved their weeny at the camera.
Why would Curtis lower himself?
I suppose Huma finds this all hard to swallow….
Weiner hooking up with sliwa ? Better show if he hooked up with Hunter Biden.
Hunter will be joining them shortly for a threesome....no not that sort of threesome!
This is an odd combination.
You owe me a new monitor.
Weiner comes back out..
Film at 11.
First Caller of the morning: “Hi, My name is Sydney,
Sydney Leathers from New York. I have a couple of quick questions for the new host. Is he there right now?..”
My first thought as well.
This lowers my view significantly of Curtis.
Should have teamed up with Pierre Delecto.
Agreed.
I believe in redemption, but my gut tells me Wiener hasn't exactly gone thru full repentance to get this level of endorsement.
I honestly wish Wiener well in dealing with his problem. Recidivism is a huge issue, both for society, and for the offender.
