Brian Seiken has made available the long awaited New Year’s special featuring Crazy Legs Conti. Brian has a description of the episode on his website:

Some have accused Crazy Legs Conti of stealing a contest or two but this time he legitimatly stole the show in his latest appearance on Beautifulbrian’s corner. Emails flooded the box of Beautifulbrian demanding a reason as to why the promise of naked women on the show was vitrually abandoned. However the show was that entertaining, it didn’t need sex to spice it up. “Ive always viewed exploitation of adult content as making up for one’s inhibitions or lack of creativity” Seiken was accused of conning the public into thinking they were going to see porno and they got something totally different.”Hey , i never recieved the adult portion of the show. If and when i get it ill post it” Crazy Legs Conti was not only funny but informative as well. It appeared at times that Seiken & Conti took turns narrating the show. It was rumored that it was like pulling teeth to get Little Jmmy to re enact some of Seiken’s bits and pieces episodes. “They say he is one little tough dude to work with” The blend of Helen Haggerty Little Jimmy , Crazy Legs & Beautifulbrian was enough chemistry to make for one entertaining piece of history.

The video from the Jackson, MS Krystal qualifier is now available. The video shows what appears to be the start of Justin Mih’s reversal at the end of the contest, but Erik Denmark’s reaction to it has been edited out. Crazy Leg Conti had an impressive last second surge, eating four burgers in about the last ten seconds, which has been overlooked due to the contest controversy.

After narrowly defeating impressario Dick Zigun in a mini hot dog contest 92 to 87 at a Coney Island charity gala, the next public appearance for Crazy Legs Conti will be Wednesday at Love Ahoy, a synthesis of The Dating Game and The Love Boat. Conti will oversee (or should that be oversea) a hot dog eating contest. Love Ahoy will take place at the Galapagos Art Space in Brooklyn and is free to the public. Love Ahoy is also accepting applications for contestants, so single NYC eaters might want to send those in.
