Ask Piscopo and Carvey about 2012 Election

Posted by on July 17, 2012 at 6:33 pm

Entertainers don’t like to discuss politics. We need to please audiences, not divide them. So, I was appreciative that Joe Piscopo, SNL cast member, comedian, singer, and musician let me video him for the Victoria Jackson Show, talking politics, at the charity event we did in Philadelphia this year.

Piscopo appears to be a “moderate.” He has appeared several times on the Hannity show. I really enjoy working with Joe Piscopo and his orchestra, who headline all over the country. His Sinatra impression of course, is fantastic, and he plays the drums, sax, flute, and piano. We joke and sing a duet. At this particular show in Philly, I had a few mishaps. Beside there being no spotlight, and a “faux pas” in my routine, I actually fell in my handstand for the first time. My arm literally crumpled beneath me. This has never happened before. I kicked right up again and finished my handstand. But, I’m thinking I might phase out the handstand soon, being 53 and all.

Cheri O’Teri was at the show doing her Barbara Walters impression. I think she was less than impressed with my performance. But, I found a fellow patriot in a band member who was willing to passionately share his concern for our country, now teetering on tyranny.

Dana Carvey made an appearance on Jay Leno this week. I’d forgotten how amazingly talented and funny he is. Dana did some schtick about the upcoming election. I think he was attempting to appear neutral, and thus not lose any fans on either side, left or right, but something in my gut tells me Dana might be leaning left. What do you think?

It will definitely help Dana’s career to stay left of neutral. Hollywood liberals take care of their own.

I once asked a Christian friend with a great music career why he didn’t come out as a Christian publicly. He quickly replied, “I would lose half my audience.”

Our country never would have been founded if the men would have been as “uncommited” as most men are today. The signers of the Declaration of Independence pledged their
“lives, fortunes and sacred Honor” to a thing called “freedom.” I’m afraid we won’t be “committed” to freedom until we lose it.

    That’s a great camera you are using. It’s great with faces. It shows just how pretty a 53 yr old woman can be. Thank you for the vids, Victoria.

    I believe it was Roy Rogers who set the standard for not wanting to alienate his fan base.  When asked by a reporter concerning his party affiliation, he said something to the effect that he didn’t want to answer because he had fans both Democrat and Republican.  At the same time, though, he was not afraid to show his Christian faith in public…

    Very nice. Keep up the good work, Victoria. Just tell the truth and the liberals will think it’s hell.

    … always loved Carvey, but to this date, his movie The Master of Disguise is the worst movie ever made. I have a feeling many entertainers are not all that liberal, but they work in an industry that almost demands it.  So, they act the part.

    I enjoyed the article and agree with the comments about the intolerance of the entertainment industry toward conservatives. I wonder though, if Christian conservatives are tolerant of atheists like me. Would you support my business or hire me, even though I don’t believe what you do in all matters?

    I think if those in Hollywood on the right don’t stand up all of them will eventually be unemployed. How well do entertainers fair in a communist nation? The leftist in the industry dont hold back so why should the right.
    Whats more is i am a true believer in the free market. If a product is harmful I wont support it. If I do watch something from a left leaning puppet I make sure I dont buy the products they advertise. When one on the right comes out in support of conservatism I will definately support them. We should all practice the free market system. I dont buy that crap from TV and radio personalities that say they are conservatives but dont advocate boycotts. What do they think the free market is all about. If I eat a hamburger that makes me ill I boycott it. Same thing with commies. If you support the leftist actors and entertainers you are funding communism. If i was a host I wouldnt give a rats pa-toot if I lost a advertising client. If we dont stop this runaway train there wont be a need to advertise. We will be told what to buy or else!!!

    Surely there is enough money from the right to build an entertainment industry that doesnt destroy itself. Its like a cannibal that eats its foot to live one more day.

    Hi Joe, BREAK with ranks and VOTE Romney! Just don’t tell anyone until AFTER the election! Bin Laden aside, Obama is doing more damage than good, as far as issues of conscience! P.S. Will ALWAYS love you in Wise Guys!

    Now that really makes sense to me – putting your fan base before God and your guts to stand up for him! A self proclaimed Christian musician who only proclaims it in private so he won’t lose half his fan base. How is that gonna work for him when Jesus says “depart from me for I never knew you” because he put fans ahead of faith and ahead of his Savior.

      Sad, when people are more into man-pleasing. In the end, that won’t do much (much?) good. There is no fence walking. One day, you’ll end up taking one side over the other, but ‘believers’ won’t declare Christ to men, Christ will deny them before His Father.
