Stardom was still not ready for him. That is not until a stint on television Saturday Night Live and ironically
It was this great opportunity which he almost missed
Willingly went in there and did a five-minute audition and I did not want the job of so lackadaisical so cocky
I got hired and knew that's why I got hired because I got you wanted job
And I was right when we first went on the air. It was hell man
People people would say hey, you're the new guy from the new Saturday Night Live, right? I'd say yeah, they say you suck
You know, thank you, but it proved to be the perfect vehicle to showcase his unusual talent for characterizations
And like many of the other Saturday Night veterans Joe took his television popularity to the big screen
His latest character is the wisecracking and irreverent police detective Doug Bigelow in the comedy thriller Dead Heat from New World Pictures
I love this job Roger. I love the power. I love the little badges
I love being a human target for anyone within sniping range of a donut shop
That's why when people say hey, well shouldn't you be doing more?
Are you happy? What don't you want this thing with that? I'm just so grateful to be doing what I'm doing
I just like I wake up and I'm like hey life's good
I just I don't want to be anybody else

One of the most original, exhilarating American comedies in ages
Judy Stone, San Francisco Chronicle
It's almost more joyful and inventive than anything around

Magic, that's what Baghdad Cafe is

You're dead
Da, a man not to be forgotten and the same to be sure can be said of this movie
Gene Shalit, Today Show
This is certainly not a film for everyone, but Da is commendable
Pia Lindstrom, WNBC-TV
Embrace yourself for chuckles, tugs at the heart and salty tears as certain as an Irish mist
Bruce Williamson, Playboy
Shakedown, another action buddy picture, stars Peter Weller as a legal aid attorney and Sam Elliott as his crusty undercover cop best friend
One spectacular stunt after another helped string the movie together, but wasn't enough to totally win over the reviewers
You want to drive? You want to shoot?
I'll drive, you shoot
Some special stunt work enlivens this police caper movie that's much less distinguished in the script department
Roger Fristo, Carrier Journal
The language is sleazy, the viewpoint is aggressively antisocial, and the characters have no consistency
Joel Gelmas, Newsday
The problem here is a plot that leaves credibility far behind as it gets more and more ridiculous
Michael Medved, Sneak Previews
