Joe Piscopo on Celebs Avoiding Inauguration: Trump’s the Big Celebrity, ‘He Doesn’t Need Anybody!’

On Fox News this afternoon, SNL alum Joe Piscopo said Donald Trump doesn’t need any celebrities at his inauguration anyway.

There have been reports that the Trump team has been struggling to book top talent for the big day, but Piscopo doesn’t think that really matters.

He told Neil Cavuto, “He is the main celebrity! He doesn’t need anybody!”

Piscopo and Cavuto agreed that since Trump basically ran against the liberal establishment (which includes Hollywood), it wouldn’t even make sense for Trump to want big celebrities there anyway. Piscopo thinks it would be a better idea for Trump should bring in more local talent from across the country.

Yesterday Trump tweeted that there are lots of A-listers who want to come but he doesn’t want them to because he wants “the people” at his big way.
