Joe Piscopo

Only two Doumanian hires survived the start of the Ebersol era. One was Murphy, obviously, and the other was Piscopo. He did not end up having the career of his castmate, but Piscopo was no slouch as an SNL cast member.

He was at least as good an impressionist as Murphy — Piscopo’s Frank Sinatra is perhaps the definitive impression of the iconic crooner. He stuck around for four seasons, and still speaks with respect and modesty about his excellent run.
