- In 1993, the late John Pinette had generated quite a buzz in show business as a great young comic that could open. Frank Sinatra loved using him. Howie Mandel brought him to Atlantic City for a week stay at the Sands Casino Hotel. This gave us a chance to have a little fun with John as we followed him around the popular Sands Food Court. He was instantly creative and easy to work with as he navigated through the crowd looking for tasty bits of food. It was no surprise that in few short years later, he was a headliner. This interview was lost for many years until we found it in 2014 and aired it after his death. John is missed (so is the Sands).

John Pinette will forever be the greatest and funniest comedians ever to me. No matter how I feel, this mans comedy will always put a smile on my face. the world will never have another comedian like him. Rest in peace Mr. Pinette, your fans will love you forever.
John left us way too soon. RIP John you are missed ❤
Best discovery in my life for comedy, Then I find out he has left us. You will always make me smile. Rip 😢
Similarly for myself. I happened to be in Vegas in the late 80's or so and my son had left to gamble so i walked around walked into a show not knowing who he was. He was a total riot, but at the end of his show I still hadn't learned his name, but never heard about him after that in spite of occasionally recollecting his show...until low and behold I came across his obit some 25 years later. Saddened me. IMM he ranks with the all-time greats for his humor and expertise of his delivery.
It's really a pity that I havent known him before he passed on I thank my brother for putting him online may he rest in peace, hes now with our lord im catholic thanks John!!!
John looked like such a nice person & so much fun. Rest in Peace beautiful soul.
I have just discovered this hilarious gentleman! Never laughed so hard in all my life!!!😂😂😂 x
RIP I just saw his videos yesterday, while I was sitting at the airport waiting for the plane I had a couple of hrs to sit and laugh , I wish he was still alive,today we need John in our lives
At John's performances, when the camera panned the audience you didn't see people just laughing. You can see the love for him in their laughs.
I want to go back in time and relive the '80's and '90's.
Wow! Thanks for this. So much I didn’t know. I love John Pinette’s humor . He was awesome in Hairspray on broadway too. John is well missed. So sad he’s gone. R.I.P. John.
Truly gifted comedian!
I genuinely think John lost to much weight to quick he was a true comic and will be forever sadly missed
How does that account for the blood clot that unfortunately killed him?! Sounds like he was under the care of a doctor, so unless that doctor was incompetent.....
I love his concerts / performances. He is an actor too and has done some work in France. Saw him about 10 years ago. Can't wait fo the next time. I've been out of country in Panama so I've lost complete track of all my favorite comedians.
You do know that he passed away in 2014?
Yes. I hadn't heard of him until after he had passed. Nor had I heard of the great baritone Dmitry Hvoroztofski until he had passed in 2017. Why do the greatest go first?
How kind for him to ask the cameraman if he'd like a hot dog. It seemed to be the kind of person he was.
Look up his performance in hairspray on Broadway . Hilarious!
What a great find, never heard his Pacino Lol.
Food is bonding. What a kind soul
RIP big boy. Hope you didn’t stand in line to get in up there! 😂
VERY GOOD INDEED AWESOME GOOD VIDEO. THANK GOODNESS SADLY MISSED NOW.
I miss this wonderful, funnyman. RIP JP 🇬🇧🇹🇷🇬🇧🇹🇷
God bless John.
That Interviewer should let John talk!
You are so right.
Loved him."my favorite comedians 😂🤣😂🤣
Amazing talent
Pinette and Ralphie May really baffled the doctors, Pinette with low cholesterol and May with good blood pressure!
And both died young
Although I love Pinette, I doubt seriously his cholesterol was as low as he reported.
@@scottrussell1006 Yeah good point, maybe they just the "okay" from doctors so they could do tv/film work.
@@rickfletcher5053and also before John died he lost a ton of weight
@@scottrussell1006 He was pretty young here, so it could have been that low. Also at that time, the fallacy that saturated fats (in eg beef & butter & eggs) were the cause of high cholesterol vs transfats/hydrogenated fats & processed foods w/high corn syrup, etc, were causing inflammation & lesions in blood vessels, stimulating/increasing cholesterol production b/c one of cholesterol's functions is to repair the damaged/inflamed tissue➡was being repeated. Research that contradicted saturated fats conclusions was suppressed due to different industries' financial interests➡we didn't know that we didn't know! (the transfats in the 'cheese dog' & 'cheese covered fries' would definitely cause problems, but probably wouldn't have seen evidence of it yet in John's cholesterol numbers at that age➡unless he had the specific metabolic issue that runs in some families.
I would love to eat at buffet with Mr John Pinette
Wawa. Loved it.
Hope God's gettin' a chuckle from the big guy
Good man
I was 5 when this was recorded lol
RIP
SO SAD INDEED SADLY MISSED NOW BUT ALWAYS THOUGHT HE WAS THE BEST GOAT.
David Spatz calls this an interview... it's more like an inquisition. He did ask a few interesting questions... optimum word being "few".
So true!
I'll have what he's having. 😆😂🤣
Hobbits eat five meals a day!
Let John eat
i'm 450 lbs my over cholesterol is 164 but my triglycerides are 287! lol so it sounds good unless you look into it more!
The interviewer was horrible. He never let up on his weight and was abrasive, loud, and obnoxious.
I agree, the worst.
You need to remember, that they were just having fun... and John was 100% having a great time!!!
Amen!!
This emphasis on & questions/comments on food in this interview/by interviewer felt creepy/disrespectful to me. I think it invited (invites) viewers to laugh AT John, not WITH him. It felt demeaning (unintentionally)--asking him how often in a day he eats, etc➡it side-stepped his accomplishment of making people laugh b/c they share in a lot of what he's poking fun at THROUGH the use his many talents, such as word-play/funny sounds/ability to use words to build vivid images people see/hear/feel/fluency in languages/absurdities in our assumptions & cultural norms. His weight thing is just a springboard & vehicle thru which he gets us to see ourselves & laugh at ourselves (eg how small is small--equally frustrates loads of people not concerned abt their wt./same w/hating gyms & treadmills/ski-ing into people, etc.
You are perfectly right the way he kept asking what John eat the amount was very disrespectful to John it shows that so called interviewer had not a clue the higth of bad manners well poor John lost a lot of weight over 200 lbs and shortly after he died a brilliant comedian may he rest in peace
Yeah, interview guy thinks he’s funny trying to crack jokes.
I’m Jewish by buffet, what a great line. 😄
Got a punch a in the face you should’ve never talked to him that way
How an you be so rude with that moustache 😮
Paparazzi with a microphone.
The interviewer was extremely mean
Yhea, really missed the boat--badly. I felt angry...now thinking he was just really, really ignorant (meaning as we all can be about many things, 'til something or somebody clues us in) & he was playing it according to the 'the business' book at the time--just looks like the stereotype we see in movies abt this kind of production.
@@BellyLaugher not to mention this guy legit i feel like he comes across to John as if he honestly believes he is the type of person who eats a lot of amount of food theirs a way to come across and make jokes without being mean you know?
Boo by
😅
i know the interviewer seems an arse but he's just playing along with pinette's comedy routines its possible they worked this out beforehand. i am not familiar with david spatz though i've been watching stand up since 1984 religiously.
You have good instincts Ollie. David and John worked out the idea the night before at a meet and greet dinner. John was in AC for an extended run and wanted to do the interview out of showroom area. David suggested the food court (at the time it was a unique place) and John made up all the gags as we went along. So David had to do a "who is this guy" interview while poking him along for the next gag. Some bits worked, some didn't but overall it showed what a talent he was. Pinette had a great time doing it. The only one that didn't was the camera guy. Not an easy gig back then.
@@CurtainCallTVSpatz I don't know--John looked uncomfortable a lot of the time w/the interviewers questions. Could've still have been done at food court➡it's the tact the questions took & John tried to redirect him a lot & make the best of them, while interview-er just kept pushing in same directions (even re: to seafood place )
I can't finish watching this.👎
David is extremely rude and unrelenting about John's weight. Totally not necessary!
He has no value as a interviewer, shows an immense lack of talent and ethical thought.
I don't know why John put up with it, he deserved better treatment and respect!
I bet when he’s 50 he loses 200 pounds😊
I don’t like the way this guy talks to JHON PENNET
Would never watch anything by Davy Spatz again. He 's not a nice person! Mr Pinette (on the other hand) is hilarious and a gentleman.
