Joe Piscopo

Aside from this outrageous statement:

It’s like The Simpsons. I don’t let my children watch The Simpsons. You know, I’ll tell you this: For me, that show was the original dumbing-down of America. Oh my God! Are we that stupid? You know what I mean? And I don’t let my children watch it, man.

Steve Marsh’s interview with Joe Piscopo, “The Vulture Transcript: Joe Piscopo Dissects His Career, From SNL to the Buff Era and Beyond,” was a worthwhile read.
