It's a story of fame, greed, wild excess, self-destruction...and blackjack. Craig Carton was a prominent New York radio personality until his secret gambling addiction--financed by an illicit ticket-brokering business--halted his career and landed him in jail. In a series of candid and intimate first-person interviews, Carton opens up on how he went from big city success to being arrested by the FBI and charged with conspiracy, wire fraud and securities fraud in 2017.

John Doyle

A solid documentary about Craig Carton... A study of male ego and hidden demons.

This softball endeavor reeks of access journalism, and plays like an advertisement: He's open, he's honest, he's available for the afternoon drive shift if you're hiring.

It's fascinating to see how just much trouble Carton has to get into simply to distinguish himself from anyone else in this genre.

Director-producers Martin Dunn and Marie McGovern know a good story and how to tell it.
