Former "Saturday Night Live" comedian and Donald Trump backer Joe Piscopo said Wednesday that he will not launch an independent campaign to succeed Republican New Jersey Gov. Kim Guadagno, who is running to succeed the term-limited Christie, on stage to endorse her ahead of next month's primary. "Joe's gonna make sure that we talk about what is good about this state," Guadagno said. In backing Guadagno, Piscopo is throwing his support to Christie's top lieutenant for the last nearly eight years. Piscopo gained fame as a member of the "SNL" cast in the early 1980s, impersonating fellow New Jersey native Frank Sinatra.
