(Joe) Piscopo split gets ugly

The laughter has definitely gone out of Joe Piscopo's marriage now
that the former "Saturday Night Live" star and wife Kimberly are
divorcing.
A Hunterdon County (N.J.) Family Court judge issued temporary
restraining orders to both spouses on Monday after they each alleged
domestic abuse.
Kimberly filed for divorce on July 10, but the couple tried to
continue living together in the Piscopo mansion. That is, until last
weekend, when, after one particularly ugly scene, Kimberly sought an
emergency order of protection.
After a North Hunterdon Municipal Court judge ruled the Vegas-bound
actor was not an immediate threat, Joe got the jump on Kimberly by
showing up bright and early at Family Court to give his side of the
story. Judge Roger Mahon granted the funnyman not only a restraining
order, but temporary custody of their kids and possession of their house.
Spies say Joe was leaving the court when he wordlessly passed
Kimberly, on her way to get her own order.
Kimberly's lawyer Jane Ellen Doran tells us, "We believe the
allegations set forth in Mr. Piscopo's recent domestic-violence
complaint will be shown to be false, retaliatory and motivated by a
desire to gain unfair advantage in the pending divorce action."
One ally of Kimberly called it "absurd" that the brawny 6-foot-1
bodybuilder should claim he was abused by the 5-foot-5 model. "It
doesn't take a very large person to spit and use foul language,"
argued Joe's lawyer Eric Spevak. "Mr. Piscopo's filing was motivated
by nothing more than the safety of his children, which is why the
judge granted him temporary custody."
Sources say Mahon also instructed Kimberly's father to leave the
couple's house. Kimberly has told friends her dad came up from Florida
to "protect" her.
Joe met Kimberly when she worked as a nanny to his son, Joey, from his
marriage to his first wife, Nancy.
Seventeen years later, after Joe and Nancy split, Joe and Kim wed in a
1997 ceremony, with Joey serving as his dad's best man. Joe and Kim
have three children: Alexandra, Michael and Olivia.
"Joe wants to work this out," said Spevak. "He's done everything
possible. But after awhile you can only bend so far."

Not sure if this has been mentioned or not, but Mr. Piscopo (mentioned
as "One of the most versatile performers to grace the 'Saturday Night
Live' stage" is appearing in a Saturday Night Reunion Tour with
Victoria Jackson and Father Guido Sarducci.
The kicker is that there is a disclaimer on the poster claiming "Acts
subject to change depending on availability"...how much demand can
there be for these 3??

I'd actually like to see Father Guido. You couldn't pay me to go see the
other two.

It seems to me that Jackson pretty much fell off the face of the Earth
after her SNL years. I heard less about her than either of the other
two, and, I hadn't heard much about them.
