TRENTON -- Former "Saturday Night Live" star Joe Piscopo will not run for governor of New Jersey, and will instead endorse the Republican front-runner, Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno.
"We are going to support Kim," Piscopo told NJ Advance Media on Wednesday shortly before going on his morning radio show on 970-AM to make the announcement.
Guadagno had made a pilgrimage to Piscopo's home on Saturday and asked for a sit-down, promising to address his concerns in her campaign if he would agree not to divide the party, Piscopo said.
On Wednesday, Piscopo appeared with Guadagno in tow at a remote broadcast of his radio show at a Salem Broadcasting breakfast in Paramus. After months of flirting with an independent run, Piscopo said that "with a heavy heart" he'd decided not to. However, he quickly added that he would support the lieutenant governor after she'd agreed to adopt many of his initiatives.
