But you gotta know your limitations. I'm more of an actor, more of a process guy. I did Tom Snyder, just as [[Creator/DanAykroyd Danny Aykroyd]] did on '[[Series/SaturdayNightLive SNL]].'

| 7 | Piscopo first gained prominence as a cast member of ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' in its infamous 1980 season. Tapped as a rising star, he and Creator/EddieMurphy were the only two cast members to keep their jobs for the 1981 season. He left the show in 1984, but his subsequent career almost immediately fizzled, and today he is remembered mostly as one of the show's most notable flameouts. |
