Salem Communications announced today that Joe Piscopo of Saturday Night Live fame is joining AM 970 The Answer in New York City as the new morning talk host. Piscopo has been on the air for the station doing the morning show since January 3rd. He's joined on the air by producer Frank Morano and newsman Al Gatullo. Piscopo said, "I have my college degree in Broadcasting. I remain a dedicated student of the most intimate medium, radio."
AM 970 The Answer VP/General Manager Jerry Crowley said, "We have had a huge positive reaction to Joe, both from listeners and advertisers, since he joined us. This is going to be a true home run." Salem's VP Director of Spoken Word Phil Boyce said, "One of the best things I get to do in this job is find talented people who have accomplished something on one stage and are ready to take on another one. Joe is extremely talented on the radio, bringing a level of entertainment to mix with the information that you seldom get to hear. This is a very connected morning show in the nation's top market."
Piscopo has been involved in a variety of projects since he left SNL, and still does a number of nationwide tours with former cast members. In addition to numerous movie appearances, and comedy club gigs, Joe is soon to be featured in a national reality TV show for a major network. But now he loves getting up early and making the trek into Manhattan for the daily radio show, 6-9am, from his home in suburban New Jersey.
