Larry "Champagne" Carrozza Hit Haunted Michael Franzese
Investigation Discovery's Nothing Personal, a six-part series profiling hit men, debuted in March 2011. One of nine new series ID launched in 2011's first quarter, each one-hour episode was hosted by Steve Schirripa, who played the doomed Bobby Baccalieri on The Sopranos. Michael Franzese, ex-Colombo crime family capo Nothing Personal was doomed as well, the short-lived series lasted two seasons. The premiere episode spotlighted the 1983 murder of would-be Mafioso Larry "Champagne" Carrozza, who was shot by a Colombo crime family hit man/known charlatan. Or Michael Franzese, the ex-Colombo crime family capo who left the life, trading in the Godfather for the Christian God the father. At least that's what federal agents and other law enforcement experts believed in April of 1992, when The Los Angeles Times noted that the Carrozza hit was "one case in which some experts believe that Franzese may have pulled the trigger."
