Joe Piscopo

For decades, Joe Piscopo has proven to be one of show business’s brightest lights. After a career as a disc jockey and dinner-theater performer, Joe turned to comedy. He was chosen to join a newly formed ensemble charged with one of the most difficult tasks in TV history—replacing the original cast of Saturday Night Live.

By the time he left the show, Joe had left his mark not only on the program, but also the nation. Thanks to his widespread portrayal of hilarious original characters and celebrity impersonations, including The Sports Guy, Doug Whiner, David Letterman, and with the utmost respect, Mr. Frank Sinatra, Joe has become a household name.

His work on SNL naturally led to Hollywood, which gave him numerous film credits, and then to Broadway where he and his fellow actors made history when Grease! was the only Broadway show to open during one of the worst blizzards in NYC history.

Live performances have always been an important part of Joe’s career. He has long been one of America’s most popular comedy and concert entertainers, filling arenas and casino showrooms from coast to coast and in Canada. Currently, Joe tours with his own original Big Band tribute to Frank Sinatra, as well as his multimedia comedy show. He is a recurring guest on the FOX News Channel, he cohosts he Columbus Day Parade each year in NYC, he performs for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation and frequents political shows like The Tucker Carson Show. Today Joe is the host of the Joe Piscopo Show on 970 AM The Answer, achieving the respect of being the most listened to radio show in the Greater New York area.
