Joe Piscopo Arrives On The Adriatic
Joe Piscopo, the veteran actor and comedian known for his Frank Sinatra impressions, just shared a sun-drenched snap from the deck of his ship. In a June Instagram post, Piscopo wrote, “Just pulled into port along the Adriatic. Makes me homesick! 😂”—a message tagged #JrzProud #Exit13A #Turnpike. The image shows the 72-year-old star leaning on the rail, the turquoise waves of the Adriatic Sea stretching out behind him.
Broadcasting From Italy
This latest stop isn’t Piscopo’s first Italian engagement. Earlier this week, he teased fans with a series of behind-the-scenes updates from his radio show tour. On May 24, he posted from Venice Marco Polo Airport, marveling at a local sculpture and tagging his weekly program, Bulova Sundays with Sinatra. And on May 21, he shared a warm “Buona Notte di Italia! Love having you with us, here and on the radio and around the world! God Bless…,” as he prepared to broadcast live from various Italian cities.
Over the coming weeks, Piscopo plans to take his Sinatra-themed show on the road through Italy and Europe, checking in on air via Starlink. In his longest post, he promised fans live segments from Verona—with “Pennies from Heaven”—and even from Frank Sinatra’s parents’ hometown. The jet-setting schedule reflects his deep connection to both his New Jersey roots and his admiration for Ol’ Blue Eyes.
From Snl To Sinatra Radio
Born June 17, 1951, in Passaic, New Jersey, Joe Piscopo shot to fame on Saturday Night Live in the early 1980s. His spot-on impressions of Frank Sinatra and other celebrities earned him a loyal following, launching a film and television career that spans decades. Today, he divides his time between acting, stand-up comedy and hosting radio programs on New York’s WABC and streaming platforms.
Bulova Sundays with Sinatra has become a cornerstone of his brand, blending classic tracks, rare audio clips, and Piscopo’s own commentary. The Adriatic stop adds an international twist, allowing him to reach global listeners while immersing himself in the Italian culture that first inspired his Sinatraphile passions.
A Nostalgic Mediterranean Stop
In his Adriatic post, Piscopo’s homesickness shone through the laughter emoji. The sight of old port walls, terra-cotta rooftops and fishing boats clearly tugged at his heartstrings. Fans responded with comments about favorite Italian haunts—from Dubrovnik’s Old Town to lesser-known Dalmatian ports—hoping he’ll share even more travel tips on air.
Piscopo’s Italian stint follows a spring filled with stateside appearances, including a Tunnel to Towers Foundation event in Staten Island and regular slots on his Thursday Radio Joe show. But nothing beats the romance of a coastal sunrise over a Mediterranean harbor, and Piscopo is soaking in every moment.
Whether he’s cracking jokes, spinning Sinatra classics, or simply gazing out at the sea, Joe Piscopo continues to blend entertainment and personal passion. His Adriatic arrival marks another chapter in a career defined by versatility—and a testament to his enduring love for Italy.
Fans can catch live updates and broadcasts on WABCradio.com, omny.fm, and Piscopo’s Instagram handle @JrzyJoePiscopo. Stay tuned as he charts a course from port to studio, bringing a taste of the Adriatic to listeners around the world.
