Joe Piscopo
Television, film, theater, night clubs- they're all fields in which Joe
Piscopo has won the acclaim and affection of millions. His big break occured
in 1980, when Joe 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 in 1985, Joe
Piscopo had left his mark on the program, and the nation, thanks 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 had repeatedly endorsed Piscopo's portrayal
of him.
His work on SNL quite naturally led to Hollywood and starring roles in
such smash hits as "Wise Guys" (with Danny DeVito) and "Johnny
Dangerously" (with Michael Keaton). His other film credits include
Dead Heat, Sidekicks, Hick & The King of Hearts, Two Bits & Pepper
and Demolition Day.
Even tough the big screen beckoned, Joe didn't forsake television. He
has starred in three HBO specials; his work in the first of these, The
Joe Piscopo Special won him a CableACE Award for Outstanding Performance.
In January 1996, Joe Piscopo conquered yet another realm when he starred
on Broadway as disc jockey Vince Fontaine in Grease! The show's producers
were so impressed with Piscopo's Broadway turn that they built a touring
company around him for the summer of 1996. And when Grease! reopened on
Broadway in April 1997, after a three-month hiatus, it was Joe Piscopo
who was asked to headline the production in order to get it back on its
feet.
