In the summer of 1980, Piscopo was hired as a contract player for Saturday Night Live.
The show had gone through a major upheaval when all the writers, major producers, and cast members left that spring.
The new cast bombed with critics and fans with the exception of Piscopo and Eddie Murphy.

Piscopo would later reprise his role as Sinatra in a series of stop-motion animated ads for Lipton Brisk Ice Tea.
He had an occasional spot on the Weekend Update segment as a bombastic sports commentator who would pose a series of questions and usually follow them up with a loud, "Who cares?".

In the 1990 issue, he said, "Some people in Hollywood think I'm nuts with this bodybuilding stuff. They'll say, 'You're getting too big. You'll hurt your career.' But they don't understand that high that comes from a workout, the challenge, and the personal victory."
Piscopo was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 1990.
