Biography
Need a fresh face to share the stage with Bob Hope, Kenny Rogers, Ed McMahon, Earth Wind & Fire or Tony Curtis? Well, Caesar's Palace and many Fortune 500 companies have happily chosen Ron Pearson. A recent show at a CBS sound stage for S.H.A.R.E. inspired "Fashion Guru" and syndicated columnist Mr. Blackwell to write "...a new face to many of us, who seemed to be everything an entertainer should be and certainly was, is a terrific looking guy...he seemed to combine all things that makes a performer a headliner... charm must have been his middle name, talent his first name, it wouldn't be hard to name him 'the entertainer of the year'...needless to say the rest of the show was absolute dynamite..." Not bad for a guy who had a mohawk when he was 5, at the ripe old age of 7 wanted to change his name to Harry Hinklebod, and at 10, he raked in a whopping $4.85 doing his first street show. Well, that's how you turn out when you're the youngest of 8 children. Ron's older brother used to tell him, "You're never going to be taller than me or stronger than me, and you're never going to make more money than me." As it turns out, Ron is way taller. Although he chose entertaining instead of business, which he had studied at the University of Washington, Ron's mom is still happy to tell friends her "little" Ronnie is regularly working for such companies as Pontiac and Motorola. Ron recently finished a 5-city tour for McDonald's in which he received over 30 standing ovations, in only 15 shows! Ron doesn't want to brag, but he's also the most popular comedian in Utah!

By the time he left the show in 1985, Joe had left his mark on the program, and the nation, thanks to his wide range of hilarious original characters and celebrity impersonations, from The Sports Guy and Doug Whiner to David Letterman and, of course, Frank Sinatra, who had repeatedly endorsed Joe's portrayal of him. In addition, Piscopo starred in three HBO specials. His work in the first of these, The Joe Piscopo Special, won him a Cable ACE Award for Outstanding Performance.
