My Take
Joe Piscopo is a vivid reminder of just how electric Saturday Night Live felt in the early 1980s. His Frank Sinatra impression became iconic, and his manic energy paired beautifully with Eddie Murphy during that era. What I enjoy about Piscopo is his versatility, sliding between sketch comedy, film villainy in Johnny Dangerously, and later a full second act as a conservative radio host. He never stopped reinventing himself. His 2013 induction into the New Jersey Hall of Fame fits a man so fiercely tied to his home state. I have a soft spot for entertainers whose hometown pride runs that deep.
