Comedian and "East New York" star Richard Kind swung by to talk about the new show — on which he plays a New York City policeman stationed in, you guessed it, East New York! — and born-and-bred New Yorker John offered his two cents about the real-life neighborhood. 

As provided by his dad!    

"Back when he grew up," John says his dad told him, "the scariest people in the neighborhood were the grandmothers!"   

Plus, "no one locked their doors," his dad said.  

So wholesome!
