Summary

Actor, singer, and comedian Joe Piscopo is well known for his time on Saturday Night Live where he starred in classic sketches alongside castmate and friend Eddie Murphy. Piscopo joined Rundown host Chris Foster earlier this week to discuss his latest gig as a talk show host, his friendship with President Trump, and Eddie Murphy’s return to SNL after 35 years. The interview included a lot of stories about working alongside Eddie Murphy in the early 1980s, some of their classic moments, and the pressure they felt being part on the live sketch comedy show. Piscopo also speculates about what characters he think Eddie Murphy may bring back when he hosts SNL this weekend. Piscopo is a performer who loves to talk and tell jokes. Unfortunately, the complete conversation was too long to include in our original segment. On the Fox News Rundown Extra, you will hear our entire interview with Joe Piscopo including his thoughts on what it’s like doing comedy during a time he thinks there is too much “political correctness”.
