Tommy DeVito won’t be cast in the next Martin Scorsese flick, but the Giants quarterback sensation had a bit of fun at the NFL Honors Awards on Thursday night in Las Vegas.
DeVito had a “Goodfellas” moment when he did his best Joe Pesci impression during a moment with comedian and awards show host Keegan-Michael Key coming out of a commercial break.
Key was going through the dramatic and surprising season that DeVito had with his hometown Giants, which included taking the team on a three-game winning streak, when the comedian mentioned how “it’s really just funny how things work out.”
The pair then proceeded to reenact one of the most memorable scenes from Scorsese’s 1990 blockbuster hit with Pesci and Ray Liotta.
“Funny? Funny how? Like I’m a clown? I amuse you?” DeVito said from his seat while wearing a navy blue pinstripe suit, white shirt and gold chain.
The two continued to recreate the famous scene much to the amusement of the crowd on hand for the awards show being held in Las Vegas.
It wasn’t the only part of the night where DeVito found himself in the spotlight.
The New Jersey native took home the celebration of the year for his Italian hand gesture that became a cultural sensation in the latter half of the NFL season.
DeVito was given the award “for honoring his Italian heritage in Week 12.”
DeVito is now headed into his first NFL offseason after the whirlwind 2023 campaign and said ahead of the Giants season finale in January that he had been talking with Daniel Jones and Tyrod Taylor about how to approach the offseason.
“Stuff like how long to take off from throwing,” he said. “I’ve always taken time off, but now it’s your job. In college, it’s more structured. Now, I’ll literally be on my own till OTAs. You have to have a plan and that’s what I’m going to get from the older guys.”
