From his New Jersey roots to his late-night sets at the New York City clubs to his breakout gig on “Saturday Night Live” and his adventures in the film and TV world, comedian Joe Piscopo’s life both in and out of show business is unabashedly unfurled in his new book, “Average Joe: The Memoirs of a Blue-Collar Entertainer,” out Feb. 11.

“I hope people like the book,” said Piscopo in a recent interview with The Epoch Times. “People said, ‘Joe you got to write a book.’ So I wrote a book and we did ‘The Memoirs’ and I didn’t nail anybody. I tried to be as respectful as I could.”
