Joe Pesci (SNL)

This sketch on Saturday Night Live starred Jim Breuer as Pesci, the host of his own late-night talk show.

Pesci's personality on the show does not so much resemble the real Joe Pesci as it does Tommy DeVito or Nicky Santoro, his characters from Goodfellas and Casino respectively. While interviewing his guests, each guest would invariably, inadvertently say something that Pesci took as an insult. He would then produce a baseball bat, and proceed to beat the guest senseless.
