Ralph Macchio talks 'American Gypsies'

Ralph Macchio is well known for his role in the original "Karate Kid" and for his appearance on "Dancing with the Stars," but now he sits down with Showbiz Tonight to talk about executive producing National Geographic's brand new reality TV show, "American Gypsies." The show focuses on a large gypsy family living in New York City--and their encounters with teen marriages, homeschooling, and feuding fortune teller shops. Macchio tells Showbiz Tonight, the reality show is a combination of "Jersey Shore" and "The Godfather," and shows how one family strives to maintain their cultural traditions in a cosmopolitan city.

Tune in to Showbiz Tonight at 11p.m. ET/PT on HLN to see the complete interview with Ralph Macchio on "American Gypsies."
