That's a real knee-slapper. Nothing embarrasses a 'Rat.
And it should stay that way. New Jersey would go from a laughing stock to a laughing stock...

I've always read that piscopo was a republican.
Joe Piscopo looks too much like Al Franken to suit me.

Nowadays, Piscopo's name seems to elicit groans from fellow SNLers, and I think I know why. When Hollywood writers went on strike years ago and shut down production of just about everything, the first one to go back on to talk shows was Piscopo, who did his Fat Boys spoof from the Miller Lite commercials for Johnny Carson. The strike ended shortly thereafter, and I think that there were many who blamed Piscopo for all their demands not being met.
Later, Piscopo revealed that he had cancer. He probably couldn't afford not to work much longer. I don't know for sure -- nobody wants to ask him about it.
Piscopo was the co-star of one of the stupidest movies ever, Dead Heat, in which he was a cop teamed with his dead partner (played by Treat Williams, who might have taken this stupid role to support a cocaine habit), whose body rotted throughout the film. The most memorable scene is when Williams and Piscopo are attacked by dozens of re-animated chicken carcasses in the kitchen of a restaurant (I am NOT making this up). It was a train wreck of a film that makes you wonder why they went through the trouble of finishing it.
So now we know what became of Joe Piscopo. Every now and then I wondered.

Yeah, somebody who left his wife for the babysitter would be a much better choice for governor. (/sarcasm)
What about native son Danny Divito?
