    I just got on the JP laugh train. He was truly a national treasure. A shooting star that burned brightly, to the delight of many. This particular video showed his greatness as he could delight children and adults at the same time. The measure of a great comedian is defined by his or her ability to make you laugh even when you know the punch line. That is a gift that very few have been blessed with. RIP John. You left behind a glorious number of hysterically funny videos to be watched over and over. And I have.

    As an Australian, im very proud we had John perform on Hey Hey! This show was unstoppable in the 80's/90's, I was only a kid, but man they had some talented guests, I never realised!!! Just awesome!

    I used to go to all his shows when he was in NY. At Govenours he would hang out at the bar after the show and talk with everyone. He was very personable.
    He used to be an accountant!
    I could not stoo laughing when he got on stage. His voices, facial expressions & timing was the best
    Loved him. He autographed one of his dvds that I brought to a club. Awesome guy.

    One of the funniest comics I've ever seen and heard. I watch all his videos with glee. So sorry he's no longer with us. He's hilarious in this clip, and he got so much better as he got older. His Chinese buffet bits and Ewok impressions put me on the floor. RIP Mr. Pinette!

    I also only found out about John in the last few months watching his clips.
    The man was a true comic genius in his simple look at himself and life.
    I was sad to find out that he even passed away just over ten years ago at a hotel in our city of Pittsburgh at Station Square downtown.😢 😢😢😢😢

    Jon Pinette
    Pinette died on April 5, 2014, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, at the age of 50. Pinette's personal doctor signed off on his cause of death as pulmonary embolism altho All You Can Eat Buffets might have had something do with that.

    Years ago I would take the lil plane from Wings in Blue Bell PA went right to Phila Gate d
    This was way before 9/11
    and yes come Monday 5Am we would all be weighed and many of us were half Johns size me I was closer to his size.
    How many times due to the weight of passengers, our luggage would come on the next flight in about an hour.
    Worst was coming home, yep weighed you and luggage and a few times I was told sorry you go by car.
    Gave me a great incentive to drop 100 lbs.
    John you went to young but HE has you doing your routines up stairs.
    RIP and Thanks so much for the Laughs John.

      That would've actually been John Blackman in the booth upstairs.

      The host was Daryl Somers. Another funny guy but that wouldn't have been him laughing through his mic.

      It has nothing to do with the show being old or new.
      It was a very unique show, not only in Australia but anywhere in the world. The many celebrity guests they had over many years would attest to that.
