I've seen him a few times live, really loved his routine and energy. He was the fat guy getting mugged in the Seinfeld finale.

1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Every aspiring comedian hopes to become popular enough to have at least one identifiable bit, and Pinette had the "Chinese Buffet." RIP, John. You been here four hour, but you didn't have to go now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost In Xanadu Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 I still remember the first time I saw him... back when Summerfest still had a comedy stage. He did a whole skit about booking the gig... It went something like this...."So my agent calls me and wanted to know if I was interested in doing a festival in Milwaukee. He tells me it's a big deal. I ask him to tell me more about it and he tells me it's a mainly a music festival with about a dozen stages. Food and beer... I stopped him right there and said 'I'll DO IT.'
