- In perhaps his first ever TV appearance, this was one of two John Pinette made on The Cable Comedy Show starring Mike McDonald (#17). See his second and final appearance here: • John Pinette | January...
This is from the era when I was trying to break into Boston comedy. John Pinette was the envy of all of us open mikers because he moved right up onto headliner status after a very brief time. It usually took years. Too bad he's gone.
30 likes three years later and nobody is suspecting this guy did the deed done dirt cheap? " Yeah he was great, we all hated him but now he's gone. Took us awhile" wow paraphrase. Lol.

Nearly forty years later seeing this, and darn is this guy incredible, so very talented.
I had no idea he could do so many impressions. Fan of his since first seeing him in THE PUNISHER. May him & Joan rest in peace.
XXxX xe
Thank goodness for videos. It is SOOOOOOO NICE to be able to see him when he first started....as well as the rest of his career.
R.I.P. John. We miss you. It's been almost 10 years since you've been gone.💔😢😢😢
His career took off when he started getting into his weight, foods, exercise etc. Nay Nay was awesome. Watched it like 20 times...
I knew JP did a ton of different voices, never realized he did impressions early in his career. Guy could do just about anything and be funny.
I heard Paul Mooney say that true comics are born.....I think John Pinette was one such comic.....
The good always die young. RIP John pinette thanks for all the laughs
Dead at 50 of obesity, liver and heart disease is young and good ? STFU ~
Dead people don't rest, they're dead stupid -
I'm still in love with this wonderful man. He's the most precious person who ever stood up on stage. I hope to hang with him in the next life.
It's always crazy to hear him sing so beautifully. I mean you KNOW he can do it, because he works it into his routine so flawlessly, but your jaw drops anyway. Every . Single. Time. I love hearing him sing as much as I love his comedy. In his performance, "I Say Nay Nay", he does this incredible bit, "Don't cry for me , buffet people! The truth is , I never left you!" It's mind blowing. What a gorgeous soul.
jade fire I agree wasn't he amazing
When I die, I wanna meet this guy.
I really miss John. I never saw this one and I thought I saw them all. He was the best of the best!
An incredibly talented man. Let’s get in the car. We’re driving to Italy. The motherland!
I would have loved to met jack clugman. Everytime I need a good laugh when I'm depressed, I just play any John Pinette routine I feel better and laugh so hard I cry no matter how many X's I've seen it.
Wow... Thank you Bill for posting this. God bless John Pinette... I wish we could've had more of him
More? Wasn't he large enough??! I know, poor attempt at humor on my part but I couldn't resist.
I miss him. What a talent!
The legends always die, but that's how they become true legends. Rest in Peace John.
+Laney Hexx He was taking 2 different meds for liver and kidney issues. His Dr told them not to do an autopsy, would make me raise some questions.
His Joan Rivers impersonation was spot on.
I thoroughly enjoy your reviews of John's work on Wow, What, Hmm. His talent and ethics will be sorely missed. I mostly enjoy his "Nay, Nay" as my eldest daughter enjoys this as a nickname due to her sister not being able to say her name when she was a little girl. 😊 Please keep us laughing and enjoying John's wonderful moments in your forum, which I watch for at least 3 hours each night. Thank you. Marcía Merry
This man was really good, sad to hear he passed. Rip💖🙏.
I wish I knew about him before he passed!!!
RIP you big beautiful man❤❤❤❤❤❤
just naturally funny with good wit-no bad language needed like some others
You haven't heard all his stuff obviously.
John is only 23-y-o here; just after he graduated from UMASS. Early on he was known as an impression comic.
The penny ante Cable Comedy Show with long-haired, gap-toothed Mike Macdonald should have been aware enough to get a large enough chair to accommodate Pinette. Poor guy was trying to look relaxed while holding on to that flimsy director's chair.
I became aware of John Pinette about 5 years ago. HOW DID I MISS HIM? Like so many BRILLIANT comedians, his talents as a singer & actor were "in my opinion" under-utilised. And maybe that's what he wanted. Carole Burnett was the same ...magnificent voice but seldom could play a torch song straight. Very sad John is gone ...and poignant, that the thing that killed him was also what made his career. A lovely sensitive man.
he was only 23 here & just getting started & at this point in time I never heard of him until 3 years later he made a guest appearence on ALF
So talented that got better with age. Sorry missed.
I saw him perform live. He was absolutely amazing.
RIP Mr Pinette! He was a very funny man.
and very fat, now he's very dead ~
Wow, so different. I knew he did accents, I didn't know he did impressions! Thanks for the post.
Very funny I’ve never seen or heard these jokes from him thank you for posting it anymore
Hilarious without any curse words. And some deep incite which most people will not understand.
He swore plenty. F bomb and all. You haven't heard all his stuff I guess. And.... it's insight, not "incite".
Mike McDonald hosted this show in the 80s on Boston Cable TV on Sunday nights. He would have different comedians every week. Was a good show
“If he’s not gay, he’s pretty happy”. John just being funny and good at it. Pure laughs the only goal.
One of the few true funny men.
My goodness. How young he is. He doesnt look yet 20
I was a Senior in high school in 1987 so he would be 23 here. He was 5 years older.
Wow! He was working so hard for a laugh in the beginning. And it was really funny. But he was funny no matter what he did.
I never knew he was this funny at stand up . I dont know I missed this in the eighties. R.i.p john pinette
A Very Young John Penette
Pinette is spelled correctly in the title. Were you trying to improve on correct?
i hate putting people on a pedestal because the always let me down, but john seemed like such a sweet guy, funny, clever, modest, unassuming.
Amazing comic! Even though he's gone, he's still making people laugh :) rip mr Pinette
Thank you so much for posting this, I just loved him. RIP
Never get enough that Miami Sound Machine Chipmunk style
All of the frustration of loosing weight ganing weight an loosing again ..all his frustration in comedy this made him so good he is missed..
Ladies and Gentlemen, John Pinette, aged 23
That was good. I see some of the passion existed early in his career.
passion for crap food that made him fat and dead at 50 ~
theothertroll revel in being feckless I see
It’s good to see him doing something besides I’m fat jokes.
but his fat jokes are the cream of the crop
He left us too soon....It's great to see some of his early comedy...
Obesity, liver and heart disease does that ~
I've been hoping to find a video with the chipmunk bit. One of my favorites.
Rest In Peace, Sir.
Incredibly fabulous!! Terrible loss!!
That is a monster mullet!
RIP John Pinette. Funny, funny man. Gone too soon.
Love John Pinette, but felt so uncomfortable when he tried to sit in the chair. They should have had a bigger chair.
Miss him
Why didn't they plan ahead and have a bigger chair for John? He looks uncomfortable.
Hell of a talent. I’ve seen the same guy who introduced Pinette, introduce Barry Crimmins at a different Boston show. Wonder if they knew each other.
Oww I found this old tape of jhon I was 6 ..this guy was unique always had me laughing he made so many people laugh ....rest in peace Johnny. .
Comedic Gold
I'd hate to be the comedian following John. You'd better bring your A-game!
Nay nay “no more buffet for all of us” post Coronavirus era
Ironically, The Chipmunks have sung Bon Jovi once and Conga twice in the later years.
He is a natural.
naturally fat and dead at 50 from liver and heart disease ~
Fabulous!!!
I couldn't get past the guy with the ........ Teeth.
He was amazing at the beginning and that's how long it takes to become a great comedian. He reinvented himself as the Buffet man and the rest is history. Montreal comics better wake up and work on their set and get a manager :)
What's with the haircut in the beginning? Holy Crap!
he was really good ... so sad he didn't marry... RIP .
its funny they actually did some of thoughs songs with the chipmunk movies
LOL You actually used "thoughs" for "those"? That's probably the funniest, and worst, fuckup I've ever seen.
The lifestyles of the rich and SHAMELESS 😂
Fluffy stole his act !
For reals
A yellow pages joke ... 1987
Who was/is Mike McDonald! Good on him for giving JP a shot.
Possibly this guy:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_McDonald_(comedian)
@@TechGorilla1987 Nooooo lmao. That Michael Mcdonald's from Mad TV. He's freaking hilarious though.
Don't know, but he looks like Rocky Dennis.
www.comedianmikemcdonald.com/
No wiki entry, but he's an active performer still.
You probably know him by his real name .... Snaggle Puss.
This guy looks like Marky Ramone.
in the audience: dem mullets dogh
Surely missed. RIIP
Wow that was awesome!
So long ago!
I spotted Jerry Seinfeld in the audience
Several of them.
@ Christia... me too RIP John
Later he got better and language better.
I'd buy that Chipmunk album. Mostly just for the Funk.
Who is the interviewer here? and I was 13 at this time but all the 'name' drops brought me back !
Interviewer is Mike McDonald...link to his website in description...
Great video... can someone please tell me the name of the host?
Mike McDonald...as noted in the video description...
@@TheBillGonzalez Yes I read that, but when I Googled him another person came up. Was just trying to find a biography on him. Thanks!
@@jeanettecook1088 Yes, this Mike is NOT the Canadian Mike. Not aware of any bios of this Mike on line but you can at least start at his website: comedianmikemcdonald-dot-com
@@TheBillGonzalez thank you!
Wow. I haven't seen a mullet that brazen and ridiculous in a *long* time..
July 2024: 😂😂😂 👑🎭
I'm so sad:(
Wow! He was only worth $100 thousand and should've died a millionaire.
Munchkinland!!!
The Oz buffet. Pork chops, prime rib, and scampi. Oh my!
Who was the host of this show with the Crocket & Tubbs jacket on? Miami Vice definitely had an influence on him lol😄 Just kidding 😊
Well, but Miami Sound Machine wasn't funk.
This would be so politically incorrect today
Comedy is supposed to be non-PC; even today.
This is all pretty tame except for the cheap shot at Richard Simmons, which is really more lazy than it is offensive, especially considering that John Pinette was probably in the closet.
What part?
who is this dude Mike Mcdonald? he is a horrible interviewer.
man i loved the guy don't get me wrong, but you cannot deny the resemblance to Rosie O'Donnell, i mean the hair, the voice. tsk tsk the 80s were hard on everyone
Awazing talent
The 80s were grim.
80's rocked!
GIVE ME A TACO AND I'LL EAT IT
GIVE ME A 2x4 AND I'LL EAT IT
I am glad he changed up his set. This wasn't doing it for me. . .
I am so glad that John changed his stuff this is not very good.
They're laughing pretty vigorously and consistently.
@@medicalmisinformationit is great for the period. I just like his newer stuff that's all.
@@jetcitysinatra7300 Yeah impressions were more popular back then.
@@PhilGeissler well it was the time I guess, I think John hit his stride in the 2000's and
Agreed
That's not John.
It sure is, he is only 23 years old here.
