If I had the gift of Jerry Seinfeld, of Bill Cosby, of Lewis Black, these instinctively brilliant comic minds, then you go that route! But you gotta know your limitations. I’m more of an actor, more of a process guy. I did Tom Snyder, just as Danny Aykroyd did on ‘SNL.’ I did it in the club. Joe Piscopo Read Quote
I’ll tell ya this: I come from an educated family. My father was an attorney representing blue collar workers, and my uncle was a chemical engineer… on my mom’s side, all my uncles were engineers – all ten of them. Joe Piscopo Read Quote
I graduated from Jones College, man, in Jacksonville, Florida, baby! I couldn’t get in anywhere else, man. I was the worst student ever. I couldn’t get in anywhere else. My father insisted I go to college, so I graduated, made the dean’s list and everything. Joe Piscopo Read Quote
I worked in Trenton, and then I got sidetracked into comedy and then onto ‘SNL.’ And then into being a live performer – what I do now; virtually that’s what I am: I’m a live entertainer. Joe Piscopo Read Quote
I’m a dedicated father – a hopeless, dedicated father. I mean, I am dork dad. I am just – I love my children. I have kids – you know, Joey’s 30-something, and then I have all the way down to 4 years old, believe it or not. At my age, five kids. Joe Piscopo Read Quote
All I ever wanted to do was bit parts on Broadway. I have more than achieved any goal that I aspired to. Joe Piscopo Read Quote
If I disagree with someone, I let them have their say and move on. I don’t want to be the one to lecture. Joe Piscopo Read Quote
I am that ‘everyman’ in that I have made every mistake you can make in your career and in your personal life. But I am a survivor. Joe Piscopo Read Quote
I stay in Jersey – it’s home, man. It’s home. And I think that’s the foundation of the true strength of the communities where we live in America. Joe Piscopo Read Quote
