Joe PiscopoACTOR | WRITER
Joe Piscopo is a well known actor, comedian, and TV/radio personality with a career spanning the past four decades. In 1980, Piscopo was chosen to join a newly formed ensemble, which included his friend Eddie Murphy, that took on one of the most difficult tasks in TV history—replacing the original cast of Saturday Night Live.
By the time Piscopo left the show in 1985, he had left his mark on the program, and the nation, thanks to his wide range of hilarious original characters and celebrity impersonations, from “The Sports Guy” and Doug Whiner to David Letterman and, of course, Frank Sinatra, who repeatedly endorsed Joe’s portrayal of him, referring to Joe as “The Vice-Chairman of the Board.”
