Catsimatidis, Hochul catch up during ‘Marty Supreme’

The show must go on!

NYC billionaire John Catsimatidis hosted a screening of “Marty Supreme” on Tuesday night filled with politicos to celebrate his cameo in the Oscar-buzzy movie.

But minutes after the Timothée Chalamet film began, there was a snafu with the sound, causing an unexpected 40-minute delay at the AMC Kips Bay 15 event.

But the Gristedes mogul and former mayoral candidate spun the delay into an advantage.

“He had 40 minutes of alone time with the governor,” pointed out a source, noting that the WABC radio station owner was seated next to Gov. Kathy Hochul — who didn’t flee during the prolonged tech glitch.

A pic showed the pair happily chomping on popcorn.

Adding some political intrigue to the scene, GOP gubernatorial hopeful Bruce Blakeman also attended the screening — marking the first time he and Hochul were in the same place at the same time since he announced.

Meanwhile, Mayor Eric Adams was supposed to be on hand to declare it Catsimatidis Day in NYC — but the tech snafu scuttled the plan to make the proclamation inside the theater.

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani previously attended the film’s NYC premiere.

Catsimatidis, 77, has a cameo in the movie, an awards front-runner. He told The Post last summer of the role: “I actually got paid! I’m a member of SAG. And so I got a new career at my age.”

(Buzz is that he’s actually quite good in his acting debut.)

In fact, Cats has now gotten the Hollywood bug. Said a source of his cameo, “John loved it so much, he’s looking to buy a movie studio. He’s talking to people.”

But don’t expect any dark horse bids for Warner Bros. The source said the mogul wants to build studio space “out East” on Long Island. “He’s thinking about doing something,” they said, adding Cats was talking at the event to NYC’s film and TV commish. “It’s John’s next chapter.”

It was proclaimed Catsimatidis day in NYC as well as two Long Island counties.
