Pat Cooper

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pat Cooper (born Pasquale Caputo on July 31, 1929 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American comedian. Cooper is primarily known for his stand up routines, where he often makes reference to his Italian heritage. He was also a frequent guest on many radio shows in the 1980s, in particular, The Howard Stern Show.

On August 8, 1989, Cooper made an appearance on Stern's show, which resulted with an over-the-phone and on air altercation between him, his daughter, his son (whom he hadn't spoken to in 5+ years) and his mother. Joe Walsh (of The Eagles) was also in studio during the altercation.

Cooper appears in an episode of the TV series Seinfeld; he initially supports Jerry's membership in the Friar's Club but becomes upset when Jerry mistakenly walks out with a jacket belonging to the club.

Cooper is a widower.

He was an occasional contributor to Colin Quinn's late-night TV show on Comedy Central, Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn.

Pat Cooper made a guest appearance on the Opie and Anthony Show on XM Satellite Radio on April 27, 2006.

On October 4, 2006, Cooper made his first appearance on The Howard Stern Show since Stern's move to Sirius Satellite Radio.
