In this episode of The Drink, NBC News anchor Kate Snow sits down with musician, actor and author Harry Connick Jr.  

The two met at the restaurant Jupiter in New York City over Harry's drink of choice: green tea. Harry opened up about his musical upbringing, early childhood stardom, and learning from a famous jazz pianist (who once told him to quit). Harry also reflects on the movie that changed the course of his career, “When Harry Met Sally,” and why he’s written new music this year to honor the memory of his mother, who died when he was 13. 

The Drink is Kate Snow’s interview series featuring candid conversations with actors, authors, athletes, and visionaries — all over a beverage of their choice.
