My Aunts and Uncles were some of the funniest people I knew. They were natural comedians and had us laughing all the time. Ever since I remember there have been great Italian American comedians. I thought today that I would lighten things up a bit and post some of my favorites. I hope that you enjoy.
“We were raised in an Italian-American household, although we didn’t speak Italian in the house. We were very proud of being Italian, and had Italian music, ate Italian food.” ~ Francis Ford Coppola
“I grew up within Italian-American neighborhoods, everybody was coming into the house all the time, kids running around, that sort of stuff, so when I finally got into my own area, so to speak, to make films, I still carried on.” ~ Martin Scorsese
“Italian-Americans are not the Mafia.” ~ Chazz Palminteri
I never had the horn in the car, but did have a small one on a chain.
I’m sure that everyone that grew up in the 50’s and 60’s in the Northeast can relate to this bit.
For me one of the funniest Italian American comedians. I remember him way back to the old Smothers Brothers show and later as a regular on SNL.
