Tommy DeVito won’t be appearing in director Martin Scorsese’s next film, but the Giants quarterback sensation had a little fun at the NFL Honors Awards in Las Vegas on Thursday night.
DeVito had a “Goodfellas” moment when comedian and award show host Keegan-Michael Key came out of a commercial break, doing his best Joe Pesci impression.
Key said the comedian was “really funny how things worked out” when DeVito was having a dramatic and surprising season with his hometown Giants, including leading the team to three straight wins.

“Funny? It’s funny, right? Like I’m a clown? I’ll entertain you, okay?” DeVito said from his seat, wearing a navy blue pinstripe suit, white shirt and gold chain.
The pair continued to reenact their famous scenes, much to the delight of the crowd at the awards ceremony in Las Vegas.
DeVito wasn’t the only part of the night in the spotlight.

DeVito received the award for “Celebrating Italian Tradition in Week 12.”
