Goodfellas turns 30 this year! Here are 40 interesting pieces of fact and trivia about the classic mob movie

You can check out a video version of this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OQkxioCNrw&t=3s
1 The first scene shot in the film was Morrie’s wig commercial, directed by Stephen R Pacca, who owned a window replacement company and directed and ran a similar ad in New York City that Scorsese was inspired by
2 When Jimmy is handing out money to everyone, Robert De Niro, ever the perfectionist, didn’t like how the fake money felt in is hands. He wanted real cash to be used, so the props master gave De Niro $5000 of his own money. No one was permitted to leave the set at the end of each take until the money was returned to the props man and counted.
3 Sticking with De Niro being a sticker for authenticity, according to the real-life Henry Hill, the protagonist of the movie, De Niro would phone him 7 or 8 times a day, wanting to discuss minute details of his character, even ow he would hold his cigarettes.
4 The classic Funny how scene is based on an occurrence which actually happened to Joe Pesci. When he was working in a restaurant years ago, he complimented a gangster by telling him he was funny, but the remark was met with a less than impressed response. Pesci told this to Scorsese, who implemented it into the film, and the scene was directed by Pesci himself and not included in the shooting script of the film, meaning his and Ray Liotta’s interactions would elicit genuine reactions from the supporting cast.
5 Henry Hill said that Joe Pesci’s portrayal of Tommy was 90 to 99% accurate. The only exception was that the real Tommy was a much larger and powerfully built man.
6 Veteran actor Al Pacino, who director Martin Scorsese wanted to work with for years and who he would later work with in The Irishman, was offered the role of Jimmy Conway. Pacino turned it down, for fear of being typecast as a gangster actor. He would go on to regret this decision.
7 Much has been made about real life mob involvement in the making of Goodfellas, from Robert De Niro attempting to contact the real-life Jimmy Burk, to Scorsese hiring background actors with real life mafia connections, such as Tony Sirico, who would later find fame playing Paulie Walnuts in The Sopranos. According to Nicholas Pileggi, author of the book Wiseuy upon which Goodfellas is based, there were several mobsters hired as extras in order to add authenticity to the film. They provided the studio with fake social security numbers, and as such it is unknown how they were paid.
8 Ray Liotta’s mother died whilst the movie was being filmed, and Liotta used his emotions over his mother’s death in his performance, most notably in the scene where he pistol whips another man.
9 When Joe Pesci’s mother saw the film, his real life mother, she liked it, but questioned her son if he had to swear so much. 5 years later in Casino Catherine Scorsese, who played Pesci’s mother in Goodfellas, complains to her son in Casino about swearing too much.
10 The painting of the two dogs and the man in the boat that Pesci’s mother in the film paints was actually painted by Nicholas Pileggi
11 The Lufthansa heist, which plays a major part of the movie, did not have its case solved and closed until 2014, and most of the surviving participants were arrested.
12 When Henry Kill is introducing mobsters to us in the bar, one of them is a character named Fat Andy. This character is played by Louis Eppolito, Eppolito was at the time a former NYPD detective whose father, uncle and cousin were in the mob. 15 years after the release of Goodfellas, Eppolito, along with his police partner, were arrested and charged with racketeering, obstruction of justice, extorsion, and up to 8 murders. They were both given life sentences, with an added 80 years each.
13 The F word and its derivatives are used 321 times in the film, at an average of 2.04 per minute, and almost half of them are said by Joe Pesci. At the time it was made, Goodfellas held the record for the most amount of profanity in a single film.
14 The scene where the three main characters eat with Tommy’s mother was almost completely improvised by the cast, including Tommy asking his mother if he could borrow a butcher’s knife and Jimmy’s remark about the animal’s hoof. Scorsese did not tell his mother tat Pesci’s character had just violently beaten a man, only that he was home for dinner and that she was to cook for them.
15 The real life Jimmy, along with Paulie whose death is mentioned in the film, also died in prison in 1996. He would have been eligible for parole in 2004.
16 Paul Sorvino wanted to drop out of the role as Paulie just three days before filming was schedule to start, as he felt he lack the cold personality to play the role correctly. After phoning his agent and asking him to release in from the film, his agent told him to think it over for a while. Later that night, Sorvino was practicing in the mirror and made a face that even frightened himself, and he was convinced that he would be able to play the role.
17 According to film legend, the real life Jimmy Burke was so trilled that Robert De Niro was playing him in the movie, that he phoned up De Niro from prison and gave him advice. This is something denied by Nicolas Pileggi
18 Even though Joe Pesci was in his fourties during the filming of Goodfellas, the real life inspiration for his character was in his 20 when the events of the film took place. Scorsese was initially concerned with Pesci being too old to play the role of Tommy, and Pesci sent him a video of him walking
19 Nicolas Pileggi spoke to Henry Hill throughout the script writing process, and he says much of the voice over narration in the film are almost exact quotes from Liotta himself
20 According to Debi Mazar, Henry Hill’s girlfriend in the film, when she trips after meeting Henry she actually tripped over the camera’s dolly track. Scorsese kept it in the film because it looked like her character was overwhelmed by Henry.
21 One of the daughters of Ray Liotta and Lorraine Bracco’s characters, the one too shy to give Paulie a kiss when he visits their home, is actually the daughter of Harvey Keitel, with whom Braco had the child.
22 In order to better get into character, when driving to and from the set Ray Liotta would often listen to tapes of interviews Pileggi had with the real Henry Hill. Liotta noted that Hill spoke casually of murders and other serious crimes whilst eating potato chips.
23 After seeing the film, Henry Hill thanked Liotta for not making him look like an asshole. Ray Liotta response was to think to himself “did you even watch the movie?”
24 The famous long take of the Copacabana took just 7 to 8 takes to get right
25 Henry Hill’s life after he went into the witness protection program was adapted into a movie released the same year as Goodfellas – called My Blue Heaven. Nicholas Pilei’s wife wrote the script for the film.
26 According to Scorsese, legendary actor Marlon Brando attempted to persuade him to not make the movie.
27 The real life Henry Hill was paid around half a million dollars for the movie.
28 Robert De Niro was offered the roles of both Jimmy and Tommy. He chose the former.
29 Despite it’s status as a classic, Goodfellas only won one Oscar. And its winner, Joe Pesci, was so surprised, that his winning speech was one of the shortest in Oscar history, simply saying, “it’s my privilege, thank you”
30 Frank Vincent, the man who plays Billy Batts and is beaten and stabbed to death by Joe Pesci, and who also starred with Pesci in two other Scorsese films – Ragin Bull and Casino - actually has a long history with Pesci. The two used to be bandmates and a comedy duo in the late 60s. They also starred in the low budget 1976 mafia film The Death Colelctor, where they were spotted by Robert De Niro and Martin Scorsese, and eventually hired for their roles in Raging Bull.
31 The producer’s original choices for the roles of Henry and Karen were Tom Cruise and Madonna.
32 Paul Sorvini improvised the slap that his character gives Henry in the scene where Paulie confronts Henry about drug dealing
33 In the original shooting script of the film, the Billy Batts shinebox scene was the very first scene in the film, followed by the dinner at Tommy’s mother’s house. Then Liotta would say the phrase “As far back as I can remember I always wanted to be a gangster” and the movie would show his youth and growing up.
34 Early screenings of Goodfellas were met with poor reception. According to Pileggi, one screening had around 70 people walk out, and in another the film’s team had to hide at a local bowling alley as a result of an audience angry at the film’s level of violence.
35 In spite of the film’s violent reputation, there are only 5 on screen deaths
36 When Spider is shot by Tommy, Michael Imperioli broke a glass in his hand and had to be rushed to hospital. But when he got there, the doctors attempted to treat his apparent gunshot wound. When the actor revealed what his real injury was, he was made to wait for 3 hours in the emergency room. Scorsese told Imperioli that he would tell this story one day on the tonight show with Jay Leno, a prediction which cam true in 2000.
37 US attorney Edward McDonald, the fed who explains the ins and outs of the witness protection programme to Henry Hill and his wife, is actually playing himself in this scene, re-enacting the conversation he had with the real Henry Hill. McDonald volunteered to play the role and won a screen test when Scorsese was location scouting his office as a possible filming location.
38 The movie ends with Henry in the witness protection program, but after the film’s release, as a result of violating his terms and conditions, including going around and telling people who he was, Henry Hill was thrown out of the programme.
39 Henry requests that he isn’t sent anywhere cold when g egos into the programme. In the ending of the film, he picks up a newspaper for Youngstown in Ohio, a place which has below freezing temperaturs in winter, suggesting that Henry’s wish was not granted.
40 The film’s ending, where Joe Pesci fires several bullets staring at the camera, is a homage to the landmark 1903 short film The Great Train Robbery, widely considered one of the first narrative pictures. Scorsese saw his movie as part of a tradition of outlaws in American pop culture and noted that, in spite of the fact tat the two films are separated by almost a century, according to the man himself, “they’re essentially the same story.”

TMS[2] #83: The Irishman [2019]

3/31/19-12/4/19
IMDB synopsis: “A mob hitman recalls his possible involvement with the slaying of Jimmy Hoffa.”
I’m a pretty big fan of mob movies, and I’m an even bigger fan of Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino, so I wasn’t going to wait too long to see The Irishman. Having said that, I deliberately kept my expectations reasonable, since the trailer fell a little bit flat, and the enormous runtime (3 hours, 29 minutes) likely foreshadowed a self-indulgent director. So what’s the bottom line?
If you like mob movies, and if you keep your expectations reasonable (like I did), this is a fine film. Pacino is really the glue that makes it watchable; he is fantastic as Jimmy Hoffa and he should definitely get an Oscar nomination. DeNiro (playing the hitman) and Joe Pesci (playing the mob boss) are also very good. In that sense, “The Irishman” is really an actor’s showcase – allowing 3 of the best living actors to shine in their twilight years. The plot itself is good enough – engrossing, albeit predictable and with a shortage of real action. In terms of the runtime, yes, Scorsese could unquestionably have cut at least 30-40 minutes, and probably should have. Having said that, I have to admit, I was never really bored (I looked at my phone just twice, and very, very briefly - a real accomplishment for me!).
A few other notes: I was OK with the “de-aging” special effects; I thought it would be distracting, but I got used to it pretty quick. BillSimmons said it was like “really bad botox,” and I think that’s a good way to look at it. Also, please don’t think this is the definitive story of what happened to Jimmy Hoffa; according to what I’ve read online, the real “Irishman” was almost certainly full of shit. So treat this as fiction, or at least, mostly fiction.
So, overall, I think this is a film that’s somewhere between good and very good, but falls short of greatness. I’m actually not sure what the case for calling this a “great movie” would be. The 3 main actors are playing roles they are way too old for (check out DeNiro’s curbstomp scene; it’s ridiculous), the plot is very dialogue-heavy, and it’s way too long. I don’t even think it’s as good as “Casino,” nevermind “Goodfellas.” Still, I do recommend it. I think most people will like it, but not love it, and that’s good enough for a (tentative) recommendation.
Rating: 6.4 / 10

Martian Scorses's new Netflex movie, "The Irishman", was long, boring and just flat out sucked

I've been wanting to watch it for a while now because I heard amazing things and just googling it reinforced that idea (8.3 on IMDB, 96% on RT and 94% on Metacritic) but now that I acutely did watch it, all I could say is wooow, was I disappointed. It may have very well been the worst Martian Scorsese movie I have ever seen and it's being treated the like his next great master piece, which is absolutely mindboggeling to me. It was long, tedious, over drawn...frankly, it was just boring!
I have no idea how this was made by the same man who gave us absolute classic mob/crime/character study movies like Goodfellas, Casino, Wolf of Wallstreet, Raging Bull, King of Comedy and Shutter Island yet here it is, being praised like it's anywhere near those movies. The run time was 3 and half hours long, an hour longer then Goodfellas and boy did you feel almost every second of it. I swear if you cut out about an hour out of the movie, not only would it not make a difference to the story, but it would actively make the movie better and easier to sit threw with wanting to fall asleep directly afterwards. The acting was solid for the most but nothing to write home about, the main charactenarrator wasn't interesting and Robert De Niro seemed like he was just phoning in most of his performance except for a few scenes, which I can't even blame him for because the script he was given was chalked full of scene's that didn't matter and it which actively seem to call him to show as little emotion as possible. Same goes with Joe Pesci's characteperformance. Most of the other characters are forgettable, the dialog between the characters was bland as all hell except, again, for a few key scenes, there was almost no emotion shown threw out most of the movie in general (the kid actors were especially bad), the music choice/sound design was nothing special and even the cinematography didn't look good with it having almost no "style". This is absolutely amazing t me because the movie reportedly cost 140 MILLION DOLLARS yet looks like it cost 30 million. Casino only cost about a third of this movie and Goodfellas cost about a fifth, yet they some how managed to look way better, more interesting and with a distinctive style behind them well coming out decades ago! All of this just adds to the over all "boringness" of this thing.
There were a couple of good to great parts in this movie with Jimmy Hoffa, played by Al Pacino, being one of the best, as he stole the entire show whenever he was on screen. But he doesn't even show up until an HOUR in and doesn't have nearly enough scenes and he's who most of the movie is built around! I also really liked what they did with his daughter Peggy. The idea of seeing a mob man grow old just realize he lived his life filled with regret, yet still not be able to tell any one about what he thinks he had to do in fear retaliation from an organization long gone,is also a really cool, but the execution was waaay off. I think Netflix just threw a bunch of money at Martian Scorses, Robert De Niro, Joe Pasci and Al Pacino in hopes of getting another classic mob movie that they could call there own and that people would watch over and over again, just to get a 3 and half hour, geriatric, boring shell of Goodfellas.
My over all rating for the movie is a 4/10 and it's something that I would never willingly sit threw again, unless I wanted some background noise well doing work. If the move was was a half an hour to an hour shorter maybe it would have been a different story but as is, it's just not really that good of a movie and is by faaaaar Martian Scorses worst movie. Again, all of this is just my opinion but I don't I've ever been so disappointed in a movie.

TIFU by being a YMH Pomcast fan on a 2nd date

Hey Hitlers
I'm a huge fan of the pomcast, and I've been hitting the dating game trying to find someone to sit under my hammock or make me some moose soup when I get home from work. But finding a girl who loves the humor in YMH is hard, and no one in my city seems to know how Tommy Bunz or Mommy Tina are.
So I watched the episode Ari, and they introduced him with the Joe Pesci quote from Casino where he says "YOU JEW MUTHAFUCKER YOU!" This prompted me to watch that scene on YouTube. I forgot all about it, and I went to go meet this potential mommy at a bar. We had a great time and got back to my car.
At this time, my car's bluetooth paired with my phone, and it displays the last media played on the screen. We're moving along and she says "I'm curious about what you were listening to earlier." I look down and this is what she saw: https://imgur.com/mf7x8Q6
I was horrified. How do you explain this to a new date who doesn't know about YMH? So, not only did I have to explain I don't drive around listening to Jew hate music. I had to explain it's from a podcast where a married couple make fun of their Jew friend and watch videos of farts, shits, injuries, and creeps wanting people to beat them and piss on them.
Turns out, this girl is cool as fuck, and we laughed really hard about it. So I'm in the clear for now, but we'll see if she can join the 4 stroke gang.
tl;dr: went on a 2nd date. Girl sees "You Jew Motherfucker!" on my bluetooth. Had to explain YMH pomcast and that I'm not an antisemite. All turned out better than expected. Thanks jeans.

Wife and mother-in-law act like father-in-law is cheating without any evidence, wonder why he doesn’t trust them.

When my father-in-law was about 60, he had a time when he was feeling some tightness in his chest, so he went to the emergency room. It turned out to be nothing major, but he was kept overnight for observation. This was around the second year of marriage and I was still learning about the unusual workings of my wife’s mind. Around that time, she was still mostly normal, if only a bit dumb and willfully ignorant at times.
When I got off work that day, I went to my father-in-law/mother-in-law’s house to visit with my mother-in-law, who was there at the house with my wife. My father-in-law’s briefcase was sitting on the kitchen table. I don’t know how it got there, whether my father-in-law had stopped at the house before going to the hospital or if his wife had brought it home for him. I guessed he’d done it himself only because it was pretty heavy and I couldn’t imagine his wife carrying it. She was too feeble and weak to lift something as heavy as a briefcase. I also didn’t think my wife had done it, simply because that would require her actually doing something, which she was far too lazy to do.
While we sat there and discussed the plan for the evening, something in the briefcase beeped and vibrated. When I looked in the direction of the briefcase, my mother-in-law said, “It’s Rafael’s beeper. It’s been driving me crazy.”
“Oh, okay,” I said, thinking little of it. “Do you want me to take it upstairs so it’s not bothering you?” That’s where my father-in-law’s home office was. With him in the hospital, moving the briefcase upstairs was sure to get it out of hearing range where it couldn’t disturb anyone.
“Yes, please, mijo,” My mother-in-law said, “But let me see it first.”
I stood from the table, grabbed the briefcase, then handed it to my mother-in-law. She looked at me like I was crazy. “What do you want me to do with this?”
“You said to show it to you?” I asked back.
“Pfff. No, mijo,” She sounded annoyed. “What am I going to do with a briefcase. Show me the beeper.”
“It’s in the briefcase,” I said.
“I know that, mijo. Open it and hand it to me,” She said. “I can’t do it.” She showed me her hands, as if she was demonstrating that she was too weak to do it herself. This was a regular thing with her. Any time she wanted you to do some kind of manual labor for her, she’d show you one or both hands.
“Hmm…” I looked at the briefcase. “I don’t know about that. Opening another man’s briefcase is like opening his wallet. I don’t think I should.”
“Just do it,” My wife said. “He won’t care.”
“I’m not going to do it,” I said. “It’s probably locked anyway.”
“Give it here,” My wife said.
I slid the briefcase over to my wife. She immediately began entering different combinations into one of the two locks. She started with 000, then 111, then 222, then 333, then 123, then 456.
“That could take you all day,” I said, but I was mistaken. By the time she got to the fourth or fifth attempt, she had one side open. Then, she entered the same number in the other side and popped the briefcase open.
“He’s too lazy,” My wife said, which was interesting coming from her. Her father was a man with two master’s degrees, but my wife didn’t even have an AA degree at that point. Her own laziness had no limits. “I knew it was going to be something simple.” Once she had it open, she pulled out the beeper, then picked up the phone from the kitchen table and started dialing the number on the beeper.
“What are you doing?” I asked.
“Quiet, mijo,” My mother-in-law said.
Then, I watched and listened as my wife carried on a conversation with whomever had answered on the other end. She asked who it was and if the person had paged this particular number, then asked what he wanted. After a brief conversation, she hung up.
“Some guy,” My wife said. “He says he works with my dad.”
“Of course he’ll say that,” My mother-in-law said.
“What’s that about?” I asked. I was amazed that they would first crack into the briefcase, but then, my wife had called the number on the pager without identifying herself and asked the man on the other end a bunch of questions.
“Oh, you don’t know,” My wife said.
“I know,” I said. “That’s why I’m asking.”
“He thinks he’s smart,” My wife said, “But he’ll never get away with it.”
“With what?” I asked.
“Cheating!” My wife said.
“He’s cheating?” I asked. “On what?”
“On my mom!” My wife said.
“It’s true, mijo,” My mother-in-law said. “Why else would he lock his briefcase?”
“And lock his beeper in there?” My wife asked me.
I looked at the two of them in disbelief. “Maybe because he wants to keep the two of you out of it?”
“For what?” My wife asked. “If he has nothing to hide, why should he lock it?” She set the beeper down and started flipping through the papers in the briefcase, getting some of them out of order, bending and wrinkling others. When she’d finished, she closed the briefcase again without much care, so the papers inside were likely crumpled and folded. When it wouldn’t shut all the way, she opened it again and shoved papers back out of the way, then closed it again, clearly not caring what happened to the papers inside.
Later, we went to the hospital to visit my father-in-law. This ties in with another story about when I met my wife’s ex-fiancé’s mother, Phyllis, which is another story entirely (https://www.reddit.com/AzzizzisAdventures/comments/6aul5t/wife_explains_to_me_what_an_oncallagist/). He was in a large room that was fairly empty. He was in a hospital bed in one of those gowns with an IV in his arm and an oxygen sensor attached to his finger. He also had one of those oxygen tubes under his nose that looped around his ears, but he’d taken it off his ears and had it simply draped over his face. Apparently, he didn’t like the thing. He only kept it in his face to keep the nurses and doctors from fussing about it.
After we caught up on everything and found out he hadn’t had a heart attack, the real fun began. My mother-in-law said, “We brought you your beeper.”
“I don’t need it,” He said.
“But it kept going off,” My wife said. “So, we thought it might be important.”
I didn’t say anything. I just looked at these two women and wondered what they were trying to gain by trying to get him to take his beeper. These two acted like they were concerned about his work and his job, but they really only wanted to “prove” he was cheating.
“I bet it was someone from your work,” My wife said.
“Naturally,” My father-in-law said. “They’re the only ones who have my number.”
“I called the number and a woman answered,” My wife said. I don’t know why she felt the need to lie.
“Don’t call them,” My father-in-law said, not taking the bait.
“Why not?” My mother-in-law asked. “They’re probably just worried about you.”
“Who cares,” My father-in-law said. “You didn’t tell them anything, did you?”
“I told them you were in the hospital,” My wife lied again.
“You didn’t have to say that,” My father-in-law said.
“Why not?” My wife asked. “They’re just worried about you.”
My father-in-law went on an explanation about how some people don’t respect boundaries. He was talking about someone calling from his work and knowing that he was already in the hospital, but my wife took it to mean HER, which wasn’t far off from what she was actually doing. With her communications skills (or lack thereof), this made the conversation take longer than it should have and no one was understanding anyone.
When we left, my wife, my mother-in-law, and I all left at the same time, along with Phyllis.
When we left, we had planned to go to dinner with Phyllis, but we drove separately, so we could all leave from the restaurant. When we got in the car, my wife started up again.
“See that?” My wife said to my mother-in-law. “He has something to hide.”
“I know, mija,” My mother-in-law responded. “I saw how he was acting.”
“About what?” I asked. Apparently, they’d tuned into something I hadn’t seen.
“The beeper!” My wife said. “Weren’t you paying attention? Any other time and he’d be saying he needed to respond to his beeper, but since we were there, he couldn’t call that woman back without us hearing about it.”
“Who?” I asked. “Phyllis?”
“No, you moron,” My wife said. “God, for real?”
“Who?” I asked again. “What woman?”
“The one paging my dad!” My wife said.
“When?” I asked.
“Today!” My wife answered.
“Today?” I asked. “How many people paged him?”
“Just the one,” My wife said. “You just don’t get it.”
“You’re right,” I said. “I don’t understand. Can you explain it to me?”
“My dad is seeing someone,” She said, as if it was hard to admit. I couldn’t tell if she was actually emotional or if she was just faking it.
“He is?” I asked. “How do you know that?”
“She paged him!” She said.
“That’s right, mijo,” My mother-in-law said.
So far, none of it made any sense to me, but I was still listening.
“But you talked to a man,” I said. “Isn’t that who answered when you called?”
“Oh, they’re pretty slick,” My wife said. “They all cover for each other.”
“They do?” I asked, trying to figure it out.
“It was a woman who paged him,” My wife explained. “But, when they heard my voice, they put a woman on.”
“Wait,” I said. “So, you’re saying a woman pages your dad. When he calls, someone answers to see if it’s him? If it’s not him, a man talks?”
“Duh!” My wife said. “They all do that.”
“That’s a lot of effort,” I said. “You think they’re that organized?”
“Yeah,” My wife said. “How else could he get away with it for so long?”
From there, we got into a conversation about how the best criminals get away with their crimes for so long. Apparently, it’s because they’re just so good at committing crimes that no one ever suspects them of their actions. This was an interesting conversation and an insight into how my wife and her mother thought about things and came to conclusions.
Then, she offered up this nugget, “It’s always the ones you least suspect, so you should always start with them.”
“Wait,” I said, “So, you’re saying that there’s NO evidence, so your dad is clearly cheating on your mom?”
“Not ‘no evidence’,” My wife said. “The beeper. That’s evidence.”
“And you called the number, but a man answered?” I asked.
“Right,” My wife said. “That’s too convenient.”
“That’s the beeper from your dad’s work,” I said. “You called the number and one of his co-workers answered. Isn’t that what you’d expect?”
“Exactly!” My wife said. “That’s why it’s such a good plan.”
This was making my head hurt. I was losing my grasp on being able to make any sense of what she was saying, then she added more to it.
“Every time my dad’s beeper goes off,” She explained. “He goes upstairs and makes the call from there.”
“Yes,” I said. “I’ve seen him do that.” His home office is upstairs.
“Well?” She says.
“Well, what?” I asked.
“If he doesn’t have anything to hide, why does he take the phone upstairs with him? He could just call back right there. If it’s about work, he could talk in front of us. What are we going to do? Listen to his work secrets?”
“But there’s noise in the room, TVs, people talking?” I said. “He does it to be polite to the person he’s calling. I’d do the same thing if I had to call my work.”
“Then why doesn’t he take the phone upstairs when family or friends call?” My mother-in-law offered. It was like the two of them shared the same brain.
I got to thinking about it. That part was true. If someone from his family called, mostly, my mother-in-law did the talking. She would spend an hour on the phone either gabbing or listening to the other end. Sometimes, she’d hold the phone to her head without talking for so long, I’d forget she was on it until she finally broke her silence and said something to the other person.
When someone from the family wanted to talk to my father-in-law, though, he would rarely want to talk to the person and would gripe about it, but my mother-in-law would hand him the phone anyway. He’d say a few words, then would hand it back to her. That was different from his business calls, but at the same time, on his business calls, he was the only one to do any talking to the person on the other end. So, that argument still made no sense to me.
I’d also seen this happen a few times where my father-in-law’s pager would go off, he’d excuse himself to another room, then my mother-in-law would scurry to the bedroom to pick up the other phone so she could listen in on his conversations. Both phones were on the same number. I mentioned this. “I’ve seen you pick up the phone and listen when he’s on one of his business calls,” I said.
“Oh, no, mijo,” She said. “I was seeing if the line was free so I could make a call.”
“Okay,” I said, not challenging her on the obvious lie. “But when you were checking, you heard him talking to another man about work?”
“Naturally,” My mother-in-law said, as if this was what she expected.
My wife chimed in again. “He knows when she picks up the phone. So the woman on the other end switches and a man comes on.”
This was some highly-paranoid shit to me. It reminded me of the scene in “Casino,” where Robert Deniro and Joe Pesci use their wives to carry on a conversation while the FBI is listening. When the FBI stops listening, the characters somehow know it, so they switch to the two men talking about their illegal business. From the sound of it, this was what my mother-in-law and my wife were saying my father-in-law was doing.
This made no sense to me and I found it to be pointless to argue. At one point, they started accusing me of being in on the scheme somehow. Otherwise, why was I making such a big deal out of it? I tried to make the point that just because you can’t explain every detail, that doesn’t mean it’s automatically related to something bad or that there’s a cover-up going on, but with these two, they were convinced this man was having an affair and all the “evidence” pointed in that direction, including the lack of any evidence.
For the rest of the time I was in the inner circle with these fools, they still continued to use this as “evidence” that my father-in-law was cheating on his wife. I don’t think he even realizes this to this day.

Questions Answers
What was the experience like on the set? Were you a Star Trek fan before accepting the role? If you could replicate any human, who would it be? The best part of the entire experience was working with Brent Spiner. That guy is amazing actor! It's more than just gold makeup. Also no matter where I go in the world people bring that up to me more than any other role I've done.
Did you ever do your Sinatra impersonation for Sinatra? If so, did Frank approve? Yes -- at the Friar's Club. He LOVED it (which is why I'm still alive). And, on an old show called "Solid Gold" where the man himself introduced me and I did him in full make-up. He used to refer to me as the "Vice Chairman of the Board."
What was it like to fight Chuck Norris in Sidekicks? Was there a third fist hidden under his beard? Very funny!
It was a privilege and an honor being beaten up by the bearded one.
I had never trained so hard in my life because of my respect for Chuck. He's a great guy and a great athlete. And, as silly as my character was, we took the fight scenes seriously.
Even though I signed a contract saying I wouldn't tell: yes, there is a third fist in his beard.
Why'd ya ditch the mullet? you rocked that 'do out of the park. Literally laughing out loud right now.
The truth is that Jon Stamos asked me to cut it off so that he could be the good looking one... ;)
Who were your least favorite people to work with on SNL? Favorite? Favorite person is easy: I can never quite describe the thrill of working with Eddie Murphy live on the set of SNL. He had a reckless abandon that was contagious.
The recent set of interactions with O&A was brilliant from beginning to end. It made my appreciation for you grow even more. And, really, thank you for the kind words about O&A -- getting my ass kicked in court wasn't fun, but you guys helped me get through it! Thank you!
I know that this is an AMA and I want to be honest with you all, but I'm a guy that just doesn't like going negative. GGJP. Oh, if this could become a new meme... I would be so happy!
Joe, you are a great performer! Truly enjoyed your SNL stuff! That's a fair question.
My question is regarding your name being synonymous with a great actoperformer expected to be huge post-TV and never attaining the same as, say, an Eddie Murphy or Julia-Louis Dreyfuss (strictly SNL alum speaking). What are your thoughts on that? Does it bother you? Are you satisfied with your work post-SNL enough that you can just let it wash over you? After I had Thyroid Cancer in 1981, my outlook on what "success" is changed. I lost my single-minded focus to succeed in showbiz and wound up focusing way more on my family. So, if you're asking if I'm happy with my career, I think the bigger question is am I happy with my life -- and the answer is, I'm here, I'm alive, and YES!
What's your favorite story from the set of Johnny Dangerously ? There's a scene in JD where there's a dead body -- someone was cleaning his gun and I accidentally shot somebody. Michael Keaton and I are talking and, as an adlib, we both rest our feet on the body. We could hardly stop ourselves from laughing. I'm not even sure it made it into the final cut (I haven't seen the movie in a while -- any redditors remember if it's in there or not)?
Anyway, just working with a guy like Keaton -- every day was a struggle not to laugh!
So my question is, what is your favorite filming location of all the films you've been in, and why? My favorite place to shoot was the exotic... Newark and Jersey City when I was shooting Wiseguys with Danny DeVito. It was the dead cold of winter, the scenery was oil refineries and cemeteries, and man... it just doesn't ge better than that. For a Jersey boy, it was nice being around what I grew up with :)
You're on the road a lot, can you share some of those experiences and tips on how you deal with that? Here's the trick: I seem to seek out women who are really mean to me, and that makes everything else in life a lot easier to deal with. Those same girls, though, they make the road very... accommodating.
How did you react after your long Time friends opie and Anthony reacted to your hbo special? There are times when I don't disagree with Opie and Athony but I have to stay politically correct because of the good people I work with.
Why sit there shirtless while talking?? By the way -- what are you talking about me being shirtless? I don't remember having done that...
We can see through your webcam. You're shirtless now, Joe. Well then you're going to have pay extra...
What's your favorite joke? Howard Hughes type guy, old, rich but just a mess. He decides to change his life -- gets spiffied up -- he cuts his hair, gets a shave, buys a suit, some plastic surgery, a red Ferrari, a young hot blonde at his side.
They're driving down the highway and BOOM, he's struck by lighting. He gets up to heaven and he says to God -- I just started learning how to live my life! Why did you take me.
And God says, "well, to tell you the truth, I didn't recognize you."
Okay not a great joke, but my dad loved it. And, uh, don't tell /atheism about it. It's just a joke. I don't need them coming after me! :)
Who do you think has been the best SNL host of all time? And, follow up question, who's been an epic fail? Eddie was the best host I've ever seen -- if you'll remember, Nick Nolte was scheduled to host and backed out at the last second and Eddie stepped in for him. There have been a lot of SNL articles and books about this incident, but I can tell you Reddit none of them got it right: Eddie Murphy was the single best host in the show's history. And... he saved our ass that week.
Epic Fail: we already talked about Spruce Burn.
I imagine the hilarity of the script made it hard to get usable stuff on film. Who was the funniest on set, and how much of the movie was improvised? Peter Boyle was great. And Richard Dimirti who played Roman Moronie is truly one of the funniest people I ever worked with. He kept all of us in stitches on the set.
How long did it take you to compose Kimberly, and why was it never released as a commercial single? IT ROCKED! Again, literally laughing out loud.
All I can say Reddit is that when you're in love, sometimes you do stupid things.
Suffice it to say, if that song were released today, it would have significantly different lyrics.
What was the best and worst part about working at SNL? Who were your favorite and least favorite guest hosts? Coming up with new material every week was as daunting a task as I ever encountered.
I can remember Eddie and me staying up all night trying to come up with new material. We were like two college roommates cramming for a final -- we both got punchy and started riffing and some of the best stuff came out of that.
Some bad moments -- having to do a sketch that you knew wasn't really funny, but they needed to fill time. And then on Sunday hearing all my boys back in Jersey calling me out on how terrible the sketch was.
Favorite Guest Host -- Jerry Lewis, Robin Williams, and Don Rickles.
Least Favorite Guest Host -- I said before, I didn't want to talk bad about anybody. But let's just say that if I had to say something about somebody, his name would rhyme with "Spruce Burn". :)
Do you ever get tired of people asking you about SNL or Johnny Dangerously? Never get tired of SNL ever. Keep asking all you want!
I know you guys want to talk about the new movie, not stuff that happened in the 80s, right? There's only ONE Sinatra, but I gotta tell ya -- I was at the Sinatra restaurant in the Wynn in Vegas last night and I asked for a table and they told me it was a half hour wait. My first thought was WWFD -- What Would Frank Do -- but since I figured I would get arrested for killing a maitre'd, we went to a Chinese joint.
Also, who does the best Sinatra impression...you, or Joe Piscopo? But seriously, if you want to see me channel the old man, come out to one of my shows! He would have wanted it that...
Any plans of returning to SNL, even if it's just a quick cameo? Lorne Michaels offered me a shot on Weekend Update. If and when I announce my candidacy for the governorship of New Jersey, I'll take him up on that offer.
How much can you bench? I love this question. Here it is, straight from the heart: I suck on the flat bench. MAX, INCLINE: 225. I've always admired the beef monsters who can bang 345.
UGH, I feel like such a wuss.
In the major motion picture Sidekicks how was it like to fight Chuch Norris? also, Did you ever happen to stay in touch with young Johnathan Brandis? If so did he ever show any signs of depression or an signs leading to his suicide? That's a great question. He absolutely did not seem depressed ever. He was one of the most positive, nicest kids you'll ever meet. Which just goes to show you, you never know how and when the depression is going to hit.
I'm only curious because I enjoyed the roles he was in. good actor. Jay is telling me about reddit and I love the sense of community you have here. Things like /suicidewatch are a great resource for people needing help and I urge any of you who might be feeling bad to seek help. Johnathan was a great kid and I miss him.
When's Dead Heat 2 coming out? Seriously, I get more requests for what you just asked than anything else! As soon as I'm done with this AMA I'm calling my agent and suing the makers of RIPD! :)
I Thought You Were Dead!? Well Anyways Your Pretty Funny. I'm new to Reddit, but shouldn't that be "You're".
Who is your favorite stand-up comedian? Well, I have to say Jay Black because he's here.
Lewis Black Gilbert Gottfried Colbert Sinbad George Lopez Louis CK's last special was awesome and very smart.
What are your thoughts on Chris Christie? Would you ever run for office? I would run for office, but not against him! We're not of the same political persuasion, but he's the smartest politician on the scene. You can't help but love his flippant Jersey style.
I mean, how many politicians can get into a verbal altercation on the boardwalk with an ice cream cone in his hand? Maybe Lincoln...
What can you tell us about the new flick? What was your favorite part about filming? My favorite part of the new movie was working with Paul Sorvino -- that was thrilling. And, intimidating -- he's a friend, but he's so serious in his role as a tough guy that there were points I actually got scared of him.
Also, dancing and singing with the star, Erich Bergen was amazing. It was nice to show off my chops. But don't worry, I'm still Jersey baby.
Nice. He's a fine young man who I know is married, so that means he's sexually frustrated. That means his testosterone level is probably through the roof. Let's not anger him!
Approximately how many schools can the .88 magnum efficiently penetrate? I love Johnny Dangerously -- great movie. Shout out to Amy Hecklerling for directing it. And Norman Steinberg for writing it. But clearly, we would have left that joke out if the movie were made today...
Do you think there are as many talented comedians performing nowadays as there were back in the 80s and 90s? If not, why not? ( I would say no and I do not know why. Maybe performers are a lot more phony and formulaic than they used to be. ) Wow, what an astute question!
I actually think that the best time for stand-up was before my time. Guys like Robert Klein, George Carlin, Rodney Dangerfield, Richard Pryor, Woody Allen, Dick Cavett, and Bill Cosby. Those guys were the true pioneers.
Since I hit the scene, it's all be downhill since then! :)
What is the most memorable thing that you saw or were part of on your appearance on Startrek TNG ? LeVar Burton never took that thing off his head. That's all I have to say.
Joe, can you talk about some behind the scenes memories of that awful strange transition when everyone got fired but you and Eddie Murphy? I felt so bad that we were ruining America's favorite television show. And when they decided to keep Eddie and I, we were just two cocky comics from the clubs and, at the time, we couldn't care less.
I think that it was that cockiness that kept us funny and appealing to the producers.
Thanks for doing this AMA Joe. A fan of your work, and thanks for all the laughs over the years. What comics crack you up the most today, and who were you favorites in the past? Lastly, what is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? :-) Link to youtu.be
What is going on the Howard stern show like? Part psychotherapy. Part interrogation. Part waterboarding. All in all, a good experience...
In that famous clip of you playing the drums, and dying from cocaine, A) Were you really playing the drums? B) Was it real cocaine? Really playing the drums, but not real cocaine. But according to some of the people in this AMA, I really did die :)
I'm honestly not trying to insult you, but did/do you use PEDs? Fair question. Does Lipitor count as a PED?
I never, not once EVER used a PED. I used to work out with the big boys at the gym and they would say, "Why would you work out so hard, just take a shot in the ass!"
In principle, I was against it, but not to mention I had the cancer and any PED would accelerate the growth of any latent cancer cells.
That was back in the early 80's right? Everything still OK, Mr. Piscopo? They tell me I was "cured" in 1991 (10 years cancer free) -- but you're always looking over your shoulder and to this day, I'm an absolutely hypochondriac and I get tested regularly. For cancer. And STDs. :)
Who was the biggest douchebag on SNL to work with? I am Italian. I have taken the SNL code of Omerta.
I only have one question: "Hey yo, beanpole! Yooouuu wanna show me what you got?" Another literal laugh out loud.
The basketball players were standing on apple boxes so that they could make me look shorter than I was -- but I have the fondest memories of shooting those Miller Beer spots.
By the way: I must be the worst white basketball player on the planet.
Who would you say is the best living New Jerseyan? (I'm assuming Sinatra would be tops of the all-time list.) Re: Sinatra -- true dat.
Right now, Springsteen is the living legend. Hands down, no contest.
You opened up a Piano Bar at the Resorts casino in Atlantic City and I so badly wanted to go but found out about it on the day we were leaving. Is it still there? We took "Club Piscopo" on the road. We will be at McCloone's in Asbury Park June 6th, July 10th (with Jeff Norris), and if I can afford him... Jay Black one day. C'mon out and see the show! Would love to meet you!
What was your single favorite skit that you performed in on SNL? Solomon and Pudge -- where Eddie and I played those two old guys in the neighborhood bar. It was always placed in the 12:55 slot -- it was so organic, I always felt that it embodied the relationship of Eddie and I more than anything else.
But swinging with the SNL band doing Frank Sinatra was Ring-A-Ding as well...
In your opinion what was the "Golden Era" of SNL? The ONE period where the perfect storm of actors, writers, hosts all came together to make the best shows. Great question: the original cast. That's inarguable. One of the greatest collection of actors on the planet. Great writers. Lorne Michaels! I am awed by what they accomplished. The fact that I got to even place a few steps on the trail they blazed was an honor. (Was that too dramatic an answer?)
Why are old rich people afraid of typing? I'm not that old, I'm not that rich.
Side note: Jay is typing this because he has a full keyboard and because if I tried to type this out on my iPhone 5 it'll be 2016 before this AMA is done. If Apple ever makes a phone for people with normal sized hands, I think that little upstart company might have something...
Hey Joe! Thanks for doing this! What has been the biggest letdown of your career as a comedian/actor? I did a show for the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce YEARS ago and it was a train wreck in every way conceivable. But, in true Jersey fashion, all is forgiven... but not forgotten.
What do you think of that show jersey shore? you know the show with snooki aka the evil midget. If you're from Jersey or if you're Italian, you can make all the jokes you want. If you're not, fuggedaboutit...
Do you have a podcast or have any favorite interviews that you have done this year? Link to mobile.twitter.com
And, Paul Rohrer in Denver is great as well!
Is Howard stern as large of an ass hole that he seems? Howard is one of the nicest guys on the planet -- off the air. His on-air persona is appealing to millions, but what's most appealing to me is how down-to-earth and insecure the guy really is. He's a human being doing a show.
Is the fact that this AMA only has 96 upvotes in 3 hours disheartening? Seeing as I didn't know what an upvote was 4 hours ago -- no.
"You are black and I am white, you are blind as a bat and I have sight." /fucking hilarious. The one and only time I ever (respectfully) upstaged Eddie Murphy.
I love your recent appearances on Opie and Anthony. You were hilarious and had some great stories as well as a fantastic sense of humor about everything, including yourself. Great sport mate, hope to see more of you. God Bless you Brother. Thanks, I'm trying.
Joe really did a great job on O&A. Not many can keep a cool head when dealing with them and their hilarious antics. I truly appreciate that. Thanks.
Now I am looking up Johnny D on Netflix. Haven't seen that movie in years but one my all time favorites. Great job in that movie! You can't just see that movie once... ONCE!
Joe, youre the man. Ive enjoyed everything Ive seen you in. I wish I had a question, but in lieu of that, Ill just say good luck with your new flick and all your future endeavors. Thank you brother. I'll take this opportunity to plug where the movie is at. Please, if you're near one of these theaters, go see it. Or, maybe just go buy a ticket and then go watch Iron Man 3.
We're playing at the AMC in...
Jersey Gardens in Elizabeth, NJ AMC Loews Village 7 on 3rd AVE in New York. AMC Norwalk 20 in Norwalk, CA.
You shouldn't have done this IAmA, Joe. Stephen Colbert did an IAmA. ONCE! Need to say something here: Stephen Colbert is one of the smartest, most talented human beings on TV today. I am a HUGE Colbert fan!
Sidekicks was such a fun movie to watch when I was younger. I'll have to see if I can find that on netflix or something. Technically that's not a question, but every time you watch it on Netflix, I get a check for 4 cents. So if you could please watch it like 84,000,000 times today, I'd appreciate it...
My favorite SNL was when you were throwing stuff at Eddie Murphy during a velvet Jones skit. Did you guys happen to be intoxicated or something, or was it just that crazy on the set. Oh my God, I remember that! That was wild! The sketch was BOMBING and Eddie and I were trying to pull it out and make it work. So, we weren't intoxicated, just desperate.
But that was such a great time, thanks for reminding me of it!
No questions really, but my buddies mom used to fuck you wayyy back in the day. She's pretty MILF'y and seems like she'd be a freak in the sack, so good job, Joey. Stay classy Reddit.
Please give us the behind the scenes gossip from the movie Super. edit: just realized it's The Super, and it starred joe pesci...not joe piscopo. still though, i stand by my question. I wasn't in the movie "The Super!?"
Howard is one of the nicest guys on the planet -- off the air. His on-air persona is appealing to millions, but what's most appealing to me is how down-to-earth and insecure the guy really is. He's a human being doing a show. (by the way, he's the guy who told me I should marry Kimberly!)
