The desperation to do well is palpable so much so that his nervous energy is making him do everything too quick, it makes it look like he's panicking
"It all happened during that magical summer of 1985. A maturing Joe Piscopo left Saturday Night Live to conquer Hollywood."
Fantastic reference. Fantastic.
And by Sept he was forever known as a failure!
ROTFLMAO!!
Well done.
It was 1984. He left between the 9th and 10th seasons. As did Eddie. He didn't want to do it without Eddie. And while Eddie technically was a cast member in 83-84, they filmed a show before the season started consisting of solely Eddie sketches and interspersed throughout the season. He was almost never present, and Joe lost his heart in the performances and bailed before the All Star Season of 84-85. A shame, honestly. But I understand at the time.
Dave demonstrates his polite laughter skills.
I can't believe this guy was once in an episode of Star Trek the Next Generation as himself
What's most impressive about this impression is that Joe did this in 1982 when Dave wasn't a huge star yet and there wasn't a lot of appearances to come up with to an impression of Dave. Norm and others did their impressions in the 90s when Dave was one of the biggest stars on TV and had a lot of material to work with.
One of the funniest skits of SNL was Joe as Frank Sinatra and Eddie Murphy as Stevie Wonder singing Ebony & Ivory.
You are black
I am white
Life's an Eskimo Pie
Let's take a bite
That was groovy thinkin', Lincoln
When you set them free
Joe is trying to give off Bill Murray, Andy Kaufman energy, and the audience doesn't seem to buy it. His Sinatra impression on SNL was good, I'll give him that.
And the Doug and Wendy Whiner characters were pretty good, too.
I thought Andy Kaufman too. Especially with that not singing routine.
He saved SNL when SNL most needed saving and therefore he should be in everyone's top 25 cast members. Granted a lot closer to 25 than 1, but still.
@@burr1aj Eddie murphy would be the one who really saved it. Joe Helped too but without Eddie I doubt joe could have saved it.
this must be what they were talking about in the mid 80s when they said Eddie Murphy's Fame went to Joe piscopo's head
"Cause that guy ain't funny" - Dave on why he didn't like Joe's impression of him
Well deserved I must say
Hey Now!! WHO can forget Joe's blockbuster hit movie with Treat Williams, "Dead Heat"?????!!! Possibly the Greatest Movie ever made!!!
Treat Williams is the most horribly mismanaged actor I can think of. Who in the hell would let him near a Piscapo project?
C'mon the Letterman impression is hilarious
It was incredible how he put black between his teeth and smiled stupidly. We all knew we were supposed to laugh. Comic. Genius.
@@carlodave9 I sense your sarcasm. I thought it was just fun light-hearted humor and I’m a fan of Letterman. But he didn’t just smile stupidly.. it’s in the jaw and the pitch of the laugh. I’m sure Dave has his own reasons for not liking it but that’s comedy for ya.
“Heyyy diminutive this! “ The acerbic wit is impressive
That went on for 12:55 longer rather needed.
Norm has the best Letterman impression.
Got any gum?
@@MooseCallehhhhhhh gotanygum? Yeah Norm was the best, but Joe's is spot on too. Especially when he interviews Gumby.
Joe is so awesome he can leave the chair before the commercial break.
It was kind of hit or miss with Piscopo. Never a favorite of mine, but things like his Frank Sinatra were pretty good. Whatever happened to Joe?
He's a right-wing radio host in New York.
@@chorl
Sigh…another grifter. Right-wingers are the easiest marks in the country.
@@keefriff99 but left wingers believe a man can be a woman, so I'd say both sides are about as gullible
His impression of Letterman with Eddie Murphy's Gumbi was brilliant.
@keefriff99 yeah easy marks, how did Joe get that tally after 3 am again? Oh right, we're gullible.
Don’t understand the disdain for Piscopo him and Eddie were the reason I watch their version of SNL he was awesome
Yeah, I always liked Joe. Haven't seen all of his stuff, but still.
Yeah, he was very funny and talented during his time on SNL.
I didnt know there was disdain for him? I do find hard to laugh when he was all jacked up on roids. Doesnt fit comedians
Well, that was kind of an interesting thing to witness
Why all the Piscopo hate. He is a talented guy, super representative of the 70s, 80s and early 90s. From talented musician to sketch comedian to bodybuilder. Likable guy
Let me guess...you watch him on Newsmax?
He is actually a pretty good drummer too. I always thought he was funny, especially his impressions and sportscaster roles. Him and Eddie Murphey were the only 2 good ones from 1982 SNL. I think just because his post SNL career in comedy wasn't as big as Murphey, he tends to get flak...but he's a legend in his own right...a staple of early 80s popular culture.
Agreed.
He let Eddie's success go way too far to his head, that's it. He's still a successful radio host of (unfortunately) Right Wing radio today in NYC. And Frank Sinatra Sundays. I could never say a bad word about Joe because he and Eddie single handedly saved SNL at its (still to this day) lowest point. I really wish he would've hosted at some point, he is in my top 25 SNL performers of all time.
Oh I sooo much wanted to see the David Hartman impression! 😆
Crazy that he was willing to call out how Puerto Ricans used to LOVE to steal hubcaps.
They still do
Take back your Joe Piscopo.
Frank Sinatra killed Joe's career a few years later after he finally saw the impression.
Joe Piscopo is a fellow Italian American "Paisan"....I'm sure Frankie not only was cool with it but thought it funny.
Lack of talent may have done it.
1:52 - had Dave asked him not to?
Underrated!!!!
Loved his Frank Sinatra too!!
Him and Eddie was the best to this date the funny to ever go on Saturday Nite Live
Norm Macdonald spoke to Dave after he did his own Letterman impression....according to Norm, Dave said: "Yeah, your impression is fine...I have no problem if you keep doing it. There was one guy who did an impression of me that I didn't like....Joe Piscopo....because that guy ain't funny".
Joe Piscopo is to entertainment what Gerald Ford was to... entertainment.
love dave miss him
Joe’s popularity lasted about as long as designer jeans.
Jordache ™️
To be fair, designer jeans have periodically made comebacks.
he's Italian, he gets a pass, with the Jordashe jean
He was THE snl star for a few months until Eddie Murphy out staged him
I think he started in a movie called Wise Guys but I could be wrong my memory of 1984 is long gone lol
I think he was in Johnny Dangerously around that time with Michael Keaton.
@@privatepenguin3137 Yes. And Wise Guys was 1986 starring Danny DeVito and Piscopo.
@@Piggy-Oink-Oink Ah....okay. Hadn't heard of that one. Thanks!
Joe Rogan next?
I have to check the news to make sure the guest is still alive these days
RIGHT?!
Welcome to the Letterman Obituary RUclips channel!
RIP JOE!
Does it really matter? 😂 I mean, Joe was a funny dude in the 1980s and somewhat into the 1990s, but like "Abe Vigota", he's been dead the whole time.
Piscopo looks like Mauser from Police Academy.
comment 3, note to dave: dont pin that guy.
“We’re having more fun now than humans should be allowed, yes we’re having some fun now, my oh my!”
1:53 omg look how young paul is!!!
Joe Piscopo = the biggest fan of Joe Piscopo
He is very very Funny. I love 6
Very funny segment!

I thought Dave grew to really dislike Joe..?
I certainly did:)
@@rha101 Going on the amount of work he’s had since he left SNL, it looks like you and Dave aren’t alone.
What was Lorne Michaels thinking?
next time this channel uploads a vid with someone's name it should say (still alive) in the title if they're still alive.
That was cringeworthy
So I read your comment and thought, cringe worthy is thrown around a lot, I bet it's..... No... No.. thats a very accurate description in this case.
Dave Van Dam best Letterman impression from Howard Stern 😆
^Who the fuq are you talking to??🙄🤦♂️🤦♂️🤡🤷♂️
From what I've heard this was Letterman's least favorite impression😂
Was Joe Piscopo ever a guest again?
Nope. This was it.
@@carp68 I thought so. If he ever was in search of a gimmick like George Miller he could have been the 'Pretentious Comedian'.
@@GlennQuaggleczyk Spot on
The Real Bruce Lee
He did have a good skit with don tickles on snl
Don Tickles?
@@Milesco that’s hilarious. Didn’t realize autocorrect did that 😂
I thought he was funny. I was laughing the whole time :) His " Honeymooners Rap " was a funny song
Scuza, DL mustered up a fresh logo for the webchannel.. Who dealt.. 🥴👋
The hub caps joke was funny... But that's it
This is sooooooo 80s.
3:30 Tom Snyder, ladies and gentlemen.
Aw, that's sweet. He has a kid, little Joey. Less than 10 years later he divorces then marries Joey's babysitter, Kimberly! He even wrote this embarrassing song dedicated to her. Yikes!
I think Joe is great!
Piscopo had some talent but you can see his ego oozing out of every pore. To be fair to him, he's not much older than 30 here and he really was one of the big comedy stars at the time, and wouldn't peak for another year. Sure, in retrospect he was the second-funniest guy on the least funny SNL cast of all time, but who knew?
I think you're looking at it the wrong way, but I see how you could. With Charles Rocket's F Bomb, SNL was HOURS if not MINUTES away from being canceled. Joe and Eddie were the rudder of the SNL ship and sailed her through the show's most vulnerable and terrible times.
His Letterman is more like Jerry Lewis.
When you dooo Ed McMahon…WHYDONTYOUDOJOHNNY?? ~,~
Ouch! My ears hurt.
Now I want some sandwiches 🥪 🥪
He makes Frank look like a bafoon
And Dave never had Joe on again. Seriously.
Joe made an appearance on the Late Show many years later. He even did his Dave impression. I think Joe came on for Impressionists week.
His performance should be looked at by every guest as what NOT to do. What a clown. However, he is trumps only actor supporter, which makes sense
Wow was THIS a train wreck.
Well, he's always managed to live up to the first syllable of his last name.
@Cotygeek The first syllable is “pih”. Pih doesn’t mean anything.🤔🧐🤷♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤡🙄
😂😂😂😂 you’re so funny 😂😂😂😂
Letterman doesn't like Piscopo's impression because it was one of his contemporaries mocking him, and he liked Norm Macdonald's impression because Norm worshiped him. It's all about his ego. It's the same reason Jerry Seinfeld hated Gilbert Gottfried for mocking him for 40 years but now laughs at people like Jimmy Fallon imitating him. Same thing with Carson hating Rich Little's impression but liking Dana Carvey's impression. The list is endless.
I doubt it. Dave never seemed to have a problem with being made fun of. It wasn't really an impression. It was just Piscopo squinting and laughing. To see someone being truly made uncomfortable by an impression, look up Chris Elliott doing Leno on Letterman.
@@michaelmccay123 LOL... yeah "[David Letterman] never seemed to have a problem with being fun of..." Right. Yes, a guy who always felt comfortable in his own skin and took all criticism in stride. Whatever you say... Oofhah...
🎯
Joe Piscopo is the 'funny' guy in high school that everyone wants to see get badly hurt.
I love Joe Piscopo now and I loved him then. He's still an American even if he's a White Winger
Is Joe still alive
No
still alive and living in NJ. I think he does a radio show.
thought this would be a demo of how thin-skinned Letterman would be, But that was a rather insulting impression, love Piscopo, but real obnoxious in this, Looks like he was on smak.
He did sort of do Dave as a cross between Dave and 'planet of the apes', which was odd. Physically, he wasn't that dissimilar from will ferrell, who is far more popular (but there are still some that don't like Ferrell). I don't think either of them were ever really stand-up comedian types. Will is a bit more low-key in his behavior, whereas Joe (I think genuinely) was constantly giggling, almost 'trying too hard'. So I think a more low-key, deadpan type persona would have worked better for Joe.
@@monkeyb1820 I was looking at old Mad TV stuff, and was noticing how much Will Ferrell, is like Mike Macdonald, and thinking that Ferrell had to had watched a ton of M. Macdonald, not really understood the hype around Will Ferrell, but if you can get some good producers behind you and force it at the right time, you can sell some movies.
@@monkeyb1820Piscopo got his start in stand-up
@@themajordudes8194 I think I've seen a clip of it. I guess he got big enough to get on snl, but I think he may have rubbed many people the wrong way.
I listen to Joe Piscopo every morning on 970 AM The Answer. No holds barred assault on leftism.
Tony's in lotion.
Letterman died a little inside
LOL!!! 😎👍👌✊👊🍁♈
I NEVER understood Joe Piscopo at SNL... EVER! NEver found this guy funny. Only feeling fake. That guy just standing beside Norm Macdonald would look like a a greasy car salesman... What can I say Hindsight, I still don't lol
Joe Piscopo is what it’s like for a man sitting through Amy Schumer’s standup.
I would have never guessed falling down the stairs would have ended him. RIP, Joe.
????
And he was never invited back.
Joe is so unfunny it's hard to watch .there's a reason he wasn't been seen or heard from in about 30 years or so .
In hindsight should've had the insight to predict: today he hosts a conservative radio talk show in NYC, campaigned for Trump in 2016.
impression of Letterman kind of sucked
SNL was never funny and this guy proves it.
Poor Joe the most muscular and well conditioned comedian alive. Is Joe still alive? Or is it just his career that died?
Yet more famous than you.
@@ImSonnyBurnett Poor little baby Sonny. Does your mommy know you're playing on her computer? Don't cry. She'll be home soon to change your diaper. She's going to be really mad when she finds you're still eating out of the cat litter box.
This is was when SNL was funny? I think the girls were better back then.
No. Other than Eddie, no one was consistently good during the years of 1980-1984. Piscopo had his moments. Tim Kazurinsky was undervalued and Julia Louis Dreyfus had some good moments.
No one thought he was funny.
When has Piscopo EVER been funny ??
That Guy's Not Funny.
Yes! That's what Norm said Dave said!!! I think Dave was right.
Even in 1982 his bigoted attacks on Puerto Ricans fell flat.
Painful. Piscopo is amazingly unfunny.
Wow, Joe is one of those guys that is so unfunny that it hurts to watch.
i find him really annoying, not sure why
Not very funny. I think this guy Joe is in wrong business. Would have been better as an amusing salesman.

joe piscopo is pure cringe
Poor Joe.
