Cooper appeared in the series 100 Greatest Comics of All TimeFrom his 1963 television appearance on "The Jackie Gleason Show" to his recent sold-out concert performances, Pasquale Caputo, aka Pat Cooper, continues to enthrall standing room only audiences with his lovable "comedic anger." Cooper commented on the subject of comedy and comedians in the 2004 TV series Comedy Central Presents: 100 Greatest Stand-Ups of All Time and in the 2005 film The Aristocrats.

"Goumba Johnny" Sialiano was born in the Bronx and entered into the radio industry after many career changes. Shortly after graduating with a Bachelor of Science Degree from SUNY (State University of New York at Brockport), Johnny signed as a free agent in professional football with the New York Jets and then with the New York Giants, also as a free agent. Although both opportunities were a dream for Johnny, he had to retire from the sport due to a neck injury.
After his football career ended, Johnny put his 6-foot, 220-pound stature to use in a way not unlike the football field. He established "Broadway Bodyguards" and escorted celebrities and famous businessmen in and outside the New York City area such as, Smokey Robinson, Sam Kinison, and Malcolm Forbes.

In the mid-eighties Johnny did character voices and wrote comedy bits for radio stations across the country from Z-100 in New York City to KIIS FM in Los Angeles. With his natural quick wit and charm, Johnny has joined the ranks of other comedians by performing stand-up at popular comedy clubs like Carolineís in Manhattan, Mohegan Sun in Connecticut, and the Borgata and Caesars Palace in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
