Summary

It's Christmas Day and last night many Italian-American families enjoyed the annual tradition: the Feast of the Seven Fishes. A new FOX Nation documentary featuring actor, comedian, and singer Joe Piscopo looks back at the origins of the seafood-packed meal and how some of the most popular dishes are cooked. Earlier this week, host Chris Foster spoke to Joe Piscopo about the FOX Nation special and his own favorite Christmas memories, including some of his favorite gifts he received as a child. The Saturday Night Live alum discussed what he thinks of the show now and what other TV comedies he has been enjoying lately. Due to time limitations, we could not include all of the interview in our original segment. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear our entire conversation with Joe Piscopo and be able to enjoy even more funny and charming stories from his childhood and career.
