Joe Piscopo’s version of “Thriller”

A Music post. Posted on October 28, 2011 by The Retroist

After yesterday’s post about the Joe Piscopo Halloween Special from 1987, I started looking at all things Joe again. While doing that I dug up this gem I had nearly forgotten from Joe’s 1984 Comedy Special from 1984. In it Joe gives his own take on Michael Jackson’s Thriller. This video also has SNL alum Jan Hooks in it.
