Veteran TV Host Bobby Rivers Weighs in on New York’s Gay Marriage Law

Bobby Rivers has been seen on a TV near you for decades. Rivers, a genial host, spent time on air in New York at WPIX, WNBC, and WNYW.

Rivers, who is gay, gained national fame as a VJ on VH1 early in his career. Later, he had a show on the Food Network.

Friday night, New York became the sixth state to legalize same-sex marriage. For Rivers, though, it’s bittersweet.  

“I wish my late partner had lived to see that historic day and I wish I [had been] in New York City that night,” Rivers admits to FishbowlNY.
