Joseph "Donnie Brasco" Pistone on the Arsenio Hall

[JIMCROW246]

I RATTED ON THEM TOO AND I DONT DENY IT. I CANT BE KILLED BECAUSE IM FROM THE TWILIGHT ZONE. THE MOB IS A BUNCH OF INSANE ASS HOLES. IM NOT KIDDING I TELL EVERYONE IM A RAT

[kamie281]

he is a fbi gent he is not a rat dumb azz get that straight!

[snuhr]

when was this recorded ?

[retd1974]

This guy is a hero. Anyone that calls him a rat is either a criminal or has watched too many mafia movies and thinks it is somehow romantic to go around extorting and murdering people.

[Sithemp11]

he is not a rat, he was an FBI agent, use proper terminology.

[endgammer]

Funny if De Niro played Joe Pistone playing Donnie Brasco

[Jonbombs]

looks like de niro

[Fotbaladdicted]

[WuddupEarthlings]

This guy is a legend? Forget about it

[TheFreatman]

[carrbilldt]

No wonder this Hall character doesn't have a show anymore. What a moron

[vanystone76]

[hairyvirgin]

His ka-jones must be expansive

[peachie0keen]

these are such stupid questions.

[morpheus934]

this guy's awesome

[toopoogang]

FUCKING RAT OF RATS!!!

[shkotay]

@toopoogang Hes an FBI agent. By definition hes not ratting out who his allegiance is to, thus he cant be a "rat". Rats are stoolies who spill the beans to the police on their own gangs or crime families. Considering how the Mafia preys on the weaknesses of millions, they deserve what they get, and they all should know in advance the risks they take and potential downfalls.

[leighjohnharvey]

what convicting italian scumbags???? twat!!

[xBradHD]

If you have no idea what is going on and have came here just to troll then I'll sum up Operation "Donnie Brasco" for you, okay?

This man, Joseph D. Pistone joined up to a mobster known as "Lefty" Ruggerio. He had to work with the mafia and his life was risked through this operation, he had to keep cool, even though he was to be killed for apparently being a rat. Joseph D. Pistone now has crippled the mafia and helped the FBI to do so.

[grizzleybearz282004]

thats balls right there guys and i understand and feel the same way he dose you cant live in fear thats for sure

[mollyjowilbury]

In addition to being rude and crude, the most of the posts I have read there is also the ignorance factor to add to your resume. Pistone was only a hair off a camels ass being made. An FBI agent being made? Unheard of. He gave us a priceless view into the mob mentality. He started the change that has disabled the mafia. I aint by no stretch saying there is no mafia left. But he started the change and we should be grateful as Pistone is a hero in our history. The man put his life on the line.

[warriorofwrestlingv3]

That is NOT Joe Pistone. It is a hard-boiled egg wearing a wig and a pair of novelty sunglasses. It's a common tactic used by those on the run from the Mafia-famous Mafia rat Henry Hill would often disguise himself as a sausage roll and conduct all of his interviews from on the shelf of his local bakery.

[caporalchef4]

@theonlyone246 Take your meds, bud.

[420protoman]

this guy is a legend

[toopoogang]

@420protoman FUCK HIM-DIE RAT!!!

[bigconor34]

@toopoogang hes hardly a rat u fool, a rat is someone who turns on his friends, this guy was a cop convicting scumbags, are u that stupid you cannot tell the difference?

[slagcity]

@420protoman nahhhh, jesus is..

[moviesforrandy]

whathe done was a wasteof time. endangered his family for the rest of their lives. yea the mafiawas hurt but it continues today. maby he is makeing good money off his book. but the money should go to the tax payers.it should be illigal for people like him and judge j udy and others in government to get rich doing their jobs on the tax payers dime.

[AlizeCiz]

@moviesforrandy he took a bunch of serial killers & thugs off the street. sounds good to me.

[SicilianoIrishpride]

YO FUCK YOU!!!

[sbyman96]

@martinez418 dude I just gotta say your a fag. you can't say pistone didn't do any real crime stopping. real life isn't the way it is in movies

[martinez418]

@sbyman96 You sound pissed off queer boy? what's wrong stupid, not my fault this jackass could not do shit to the allege organize crimes in NY etc. Tell this Pistone douche bag to come to LA, I'll bet the organize crimes here will kick his fake SOPRANOS accent ass back to your mothers cunt. This fool is as sorry as you kid.

[kamie281]

@martinez418 sdfu u prick u dont even know the story u must be 14 yr old fatty boy lol

[TheKronix421]

i dont know why i read retarded comments tdwilliams and co, The mob changed the rules on how "members" were "made" after the donnie brasco thing happened. So getting good and competent help was hard. Not only that but all the wire taps and surveillance that was done, over 100 arrests were made, Shit the mob almost "made" Donnie Brasco. .... do your homework before writing stupid comments......................­........ kid

[DaniloCamargo]

damn, arsenio was a terrible host

[88UTUBENAZI88]

LOOK HOW UNORGANISED - ORGANISED CRIME IS NOW......THEY SHOULD OF KEPT THE MAFIA AROUND AND STRONG TO KEEP THE FILTH FROM RUNNING THINGS

[heatbucspies55]

When you just call any old guy badass, what do you say about a guy like this?

[perri6687]

Arsenio proberly rolled joints with all the pages, thats why he doesn't have a copy.

[0ptimyze]

"if you go to the store I guarantee they'll have it" ... but Arsenio couldn't get one on stage before showtime huh

[LittleRicky63]

Massive Respect!!!

[blissmd]

He's a fucking legend, respect man!

[martinez418]

Pistone is fake!, just look at him how he carries himself still thinking he's working undercover for the Mob? that's just hilarious!! what a fucking douche bag. Pistone, shut the fuck up! you're not intimidating what so ever, hate your fake East coast accent hahaha

[tdwilliams1000]

@martinez418 yeah ok - either your're a scumbag criminal who nobody gives a shit about or you're typin' bullshit from your mamma's basement - either way - you're nothin' compared to this guy mr. youtube

[martinez418]

@tdwilliams1000 Kid, you're upset and yelping like a derange ORANGUTAN. It seem as if you're butt hurt due to me indicating Brasco is a fake bitch! This fuck took down a piece shit gang, that's all they were; a gang. Not an organize crime, cause if they were they would still be in business and not whistle blowing on there comrades. They dealt with loan sharking, illegal gambling, insurance fraud etc. Shit crimes. How is he tough? fuck you and Brosco stupid. Do some real crime stopping jackass!.

[tdwilliams1000]

@martinez418 wtf is your point? This guy took down a part of an organized crime family? Wtf do you think criminals like the mobsters he helped put away do aside from loan sharking, gambling, insurance fraud? you think they're building fucking nuclear weapons? No - they deal drugs, pedal in prostitution, boost cars, kill people, that kind of shit. it's all "real" crime. While we're at it - wtf are you doing with your life? My guess is a whole lotta nada.

[martinez418]

@tdwilliams1000 Never said criminals are heroes kid. This Pistone character is just that, a fucking character. The man didn't do shit, but Hollywood a movie. All that you've mention still exist in the cities he worked in as an undercover. The man and his black shades are farce!. The fuck himself thinks he's in Hollywood,lmfao! tell this junky to come to LA and sweep the streets from crime, or for that matter just 1 organize gang? they'll laugh at this cartoon character name Pistone, fact! lmfao!

[tdwilliams1000]

@martinez418 and btw martinez - all this bullshit that loser fuck criminals do is all wrong, and they all deserve to be in fucking prison or dead - so fuck you if you think there's some sort of glory in it - there ain't

[tdwilliams1000]

and martinez - he was undercover with the mob for 6 years - did a lot of damage to the organization - the man did good - these guys were total scumbags and they deserved everything he did to them and a whole lot more

[lamasingz]

@martinez418 Yea his accent is soooo FAKE that he tricked the entire mafia into believing it was real, thats how bad his accent his

[martinez418]

@lamasingz Yeah, he's so fucking fake and annoying that he could only fool ignorant fucks like the New York Mafia. The Italian Mafia is a joke now!! their wiped out!!. The Mexicans and the Russian are taking over the US and all control of the drug trafficking all over the world today and then. Not saying that i admire that, but lets give credit where credit is deserve.

This guy is one fake bitch!. Have his bring down the gangsters in Mexico or Russia

[lamasingz]

@martinez418 At the eastcoast the italian mafia is still a big player, same for europe. The mafia is still there. Mexicans dont control anything outside the america's. The Russians control a lot within Russia of course and outside of it, both in the US and Europe. I still dont get why you would call him fake though. He acted good enough for the mafia to not even believe he was a FBI agent when they told them.

[martinez418]

@lamasingz The east coast is no longer run by the Italian Mafia, but by street gangs like the Latin Kings etc. The Mexicans run the entire drug theme, including all of Europe from Spain to Rome, lets not for get the USA, & Mexico. Mexico was also selling to the Jews, Russians and Arabs. Research it, you'll see how bad this fucks control the world drug trade. The biggest drug lord in the world is a Mexican that made it in the FORBES, by the name of ''CHAPO GUZMAN'' They sell to the Russians too.

[kamie281]

@martinez418 dunt give a fuck  dumb azz about ur chapo guzman burn in hell!

[martinez418]

@kamie281 Brasco, Guzman... and your mother can ALL burn in hell first. How you like them apples stupid?.

What a degenerate troll.

[gengis125]

@2112murphy The audience may have been "bought", LOL!

[unholyimage]

Arsenio was so classy. Too bad.

[unholyimage]

@2112murphy I agree. But when you think of it, the lack of response may be "one of his precautions". I could easily imagine him making it a precondition that it be a recorded show in an undisclosed location with no audience, and that all arrangements go through only one person. Of course they could put in fake applause, but it's a very serious subject and he's not a celebrity. Anyway, I take your point and I know mine is all speculation.

[FULIAN]

arsenio looks ass ugly!!

[cuzzywuzzyful]

a fucking legend

[rub3nski]

hahaha joe jerkoff! look at those ridiculous glasses he lives like a rat

[corkfield1]

i wonder also how many people in the audiance can read

[corkfield1]

worst interviewer and audience ever,they should go back to africa and stay there,

[silvap4p]

he's fuckin great...pistone

[michaeladrion79]

it was a satisfactory interview. arsenio asked reflective questions and stayed objective by not injecting any personalized opinions or pandering remarks. the audience didnt hoot and holler because they,in my opinion were not watching a typical hollywood celebrity type interview and were not being goaded by arsenio or the producers to react over zealously. the silence was that of awe and respect for mr brasco's story. although arseino is not the perfect host he was still a pretty good host.

[TheMrgaztop]

Mamaluk

[lvray702NV]

Fuck this guy!

[Settis1]

@lvray702NV no

[Almas8787]

Throwing a book its a kinda disrespect. I didn't like it...

[extraordinaryfashion]

oh god, he's so fucking awkward with him, you have one of the most interesting people in front of you and all you can say is 'hmm that's interesting'

[TheHockeyCentral]

"If it was an ordinary citizen than I'd put my life on the line to protect the ordinary citizen"

Arsenio: "Hmmmm...that's interesting."

Great fucking interview, Arsenio.

[nolanjuice84]

IF THERE WASNT HIM THERE WOULDNT BE THE MOVIE WITH PACINO N THAT WOLD BE A SHAME

[ae86miami]

Arsenio Hall is an ass licking fag lol

[gmccord1970]

@2112murphy Good point. Working deep uncover law enforcement is one of the most psychologically damaging profession one can endure. Look at what Mr. Pistone went through. Not only did he go through a personality change in order to play the role of a mafioso associate, he had to worry about the stress of getting killed while being Donnie Brasco and having a $500,000 price on his head afterwards. This guy is tough as nails.

[CuriousWhale]

Absolutely terrible interviewer.

[DEACONAP4LOVE]

arsenio had strict orders that night from the gumbas

[Ciaranarchy]

Arsenio Hall is a stoner.

[HotMusa1]

@ArtificialRed1083 you dont know me so go fk urself will you

[7ELTERRIBLE7]

ci vogliono le palle per fare quello che ha fatto quest'uomo

[HotMusa1]

@ArtificialRed1083 you a fking rat, just like ur dickhead idol pistone

[alahalabalahab]

Amazon women on the moon.

[whitekid3]

yea, arsenio sucks as interviewer... he sucks cuz he's not actually listening, he's just waiting to ask his other questions instead of following up... go fuck urself arsenio

[like2seeit86]

The real Donnie Brasco, Joe Pistone had some real balls 2 go undercover into the mafia and bring them down.

[heatbucspies55]

R all u guys saying how Lefty was so good to him just basing it off of the movie?

DO u know what he actually was like?

[EvilChiken8]

@heatbucspies55 do you..?

[heatbucspies55]

@EvilChiken8

No, that's why I'm not making comments about whether or not Pistone should have turned him in.

[jakef805]

@heatbucspies55 seriously dude. people are easily influenced by movies and shit. people are fucking stupid these days. pistone did his job and should be commended for it, nuff said

[GoooonyGooGoo]

Has there ever been a serious interview on late night television? I can't recall one on Jimmy Kimmel or Leno. This seemed more suited for Oprah. Ahead of your time Aresnio (yesssssss! [dog pound woofing]).

[michaelfoureyes]

@2112murphy to afraid to clap so they won't get marked.

[aussiedave24nsw]

lefty was like a father 2 u joe how could u betray him. That would be the hardest thing 4 me to do RIP lefty

[BNicodemo]

@aussiedave24nsw Lots of Australians in the Italian-American mob?

[aussiedave24nsw]

@BNicodemo realy i didnt know that

[HotMusa1]

cocksucker pistone

rip lefty

[mrluckylo]

hes a rat

[davecienpies]

@2112murphy fuck him after of what he did the whole new york city changed for the worst

[rizalzenbudo]

the questions are stupid. Pistone should be in other talk shows. arsenio is a dumbass

[Weasler455]

@2112murphy Good point, but you couldn't expect much from an audience who watches a retard like Arsenio Hall. They were all probably just as dense as the host. I'll bet half of them didn't even understand what the interview was about.

[mephysto89]

Henry Hill was a RAT ! He betrayed his so called friends to save his own ass.

Joe Pistone was doing only his job u fuckin retards !!!

[Stugots666x]

If the movie was the same as his story, which I heard the movie some parts r very diff of course for entertainment , but if so Pistone became an asshole to his family, hittin his wife!? Fuck the job! No job should make u act like that ESP to ur wife and kids

[EJ46343]

@Stugots666x i've listened to the audio book and a lot of things that you see in the film didn't happen. they also swapped lefty and sonny's personalities round in the film, coz lefty was the psycho and sonny was the calm one in the book. pistone never mentioned any problems with his family and they are still married now. he only got in touch about 2 times coz'v the situation and his wife understood, she never had arguements with him about it, she knew he was an fbi agent so she trusted him

[ravballer]

FUCK YOU DONNIE..WHY DID YOU HAVE TO TURN YOUR BACK ON LEFTY...

RIP LEFTY

[mephysto89]

@ravballer u must be retard ...

[ravballer]

@mephysto89 u must be a ugly bitch who has no self-esteem.

RIP LEFTY

[mephysto89]

@ravballer u must have no fuckin brain and live in the cartoons world .

[ravballer]

@mephysto89 u must be a fuckin rat.... donnie is a fuckin rat.

RIP LEFTY

[mephysto89]

@ravballer get a fuck out of here u fuckin piece of shit. he was doing his job. henry hill is a rat. can u even tell de fuckin difference between a rat and a cop?!?

[ravballer]

RIP LEFTY

[mephysto89]

RIP LEFTY...ITS NOT YOUR FAULT YOU GOT BETRAYED.

[mephysto89]

@ravballer u have some mental problems man. go fuck yourself. im sorry for your mother cuz she gave birth to such a fuckin retard .

[ravballer]

@mephysto89 see this is what happens when your mother doesnt breastfeed you...

RIP LEFTY

[latincupidd]

@ravballer your a fucking amoron he was doing his job lefty was never a friend u idiot

[ravballer]

@latincupidd how could anyone betray lefty???? donnie= selloout

[mrtundra45]

fuck him....he put good dudes in jail, what a dick face!

[EJ46343]

@mrtundra45 you are deluded the mafia are not "good dudes" they deserved to go to jail they murdered people and if you think thats cool then why don't you go join them and find out just how "cool" it really is! coz the reality is completely different from the hollywoodised movies that add things in to make it look glamorous

[mrtundra45]

@EJ46343 ..... And? FUCK COPS!

[mikebaal]

What a true goddamn hero.

[tonysoprano9417]

This black guy look like Wesley Snipes

[1844life]

This guy is a true rat!! How can he go in court and rat out "lefty".

[cutdeamon]

@1844life Because he was an FBI agent. It was his job dumbass."lefty was a criminal

[TMGPREZ]

MOST OF U DON'T UNDERSTAND IS THAT ARSENIO HALL WAS THE SHIT LOL FIRST TIME MOST OF AMERICA HEARD OF DONNIE BRASCO WAS THIS INTERVIEW HELP SELL TREMONDOUS BOOKS AND TURNED INTO A MOVIE AND THATS WHY U GUYS ARE WTCHING THIS CLIP NOW CAUSE THE EXPOSURE THAT A.HALL GAVE ON JOE'S STORYU GUYS ARE SILLY

[BlueRibbonWinner]

He is a Rat, nothing more. He deserves a bullet thats all.

[cutdeamon]

@BlueRibbonWinner you deserve a bullet in your head

[gaastra12]

@BlueRibbonWinner Retard. If it wasn't for ''rats'' like him even though he wasn't, he was a FBI infiltrant, but even though without people like him, kids like you didn't even know of the existance of the Mafia, and there was no Donnie Brasco movie because that's all you know.

[sausageNmash1990]

A.HOLE is so fuckin weak...... this interview is a bit of a joke..... why is that fool got his own show, hes useless..... joe pistone is the man.....

[Obelisk2290]

@2112murphy agreed

[andthewinnerisJ]

Truth is Joseph started really liking that kind of lifestyle....

[yakidk89]

Joe talks about the situation if he ever had to kill anyone and Hall replies with, "Hmmm, thats interesting". I could give a better interview.

[jason854656]

@yakidk89 yeah he kinda sucks at interviews, i dont get why he was so popular.

[Frequent2001]

what an awful interview... how did a moron like arsenio hall got to be on the air for so long ...fucking lame ass fox

Joe Pistone is a hero..

[patriota54]

@Frequent2001 Joe pistone was just a "giver", betrayed his friends, a badge, law, governement is worst than Mafia they don' t have any respect, money and lies, at least mafia have respect, loyalty, and trust, a brotherhood, governement don't, Joe pistone was just a a little green toy soldier, a poor brainless coward, and one day, the past will catch him up

[Frequent2001]

triangle headed idiot.

[SludgePunkGrunge]

@2112murphy hmmmmmm I can argue that large corporations are just as bad as the mafia. Saw is the government that goes after organized crime.

[SludgePunkGrunge]

@SludgePunkGrunge *So is.

[otamay]

WTF! he doesn't look like Johnny Depp at all !!!

[yordanosi]

@2112murphy youre goverment muscles honest hard working people in to paying for illegal wars, dictators in the middle east ( mubarak and friends) supporting corporate banks and not the least 3 billion $ to israel.

in return you get more dead americans and poverty.

YOU CERTAINLY DONT DESERVE MY RESPECT

[yordanosi]

@2112murphy youre disgraceful

you are a pro goverment cocksucker

[MegaXraided]

hahaha fucking dude that was funny wat he said

[patricimaimo]

At the beginning Arsenio says he doesn't have a copy of the book and at the very end he pulls one out and tells you to read it. T'thefuck?

[rickyrich301]

@patricimaimo watch it again idiot. the book was thrown to him at the beginning of the interview.

[patricimaimo]

Arsenio Hall is a terrible interviewer. This could have been great, but he blew it.

[Diadematov]

@patricimaimo lol

[SalemStorm]

Maybe the Fucktard Bonehead Idiots wont use family men for undercover work again.

[Jimmy1tooth]

is joe pistone drssed for a gangster character because if not he really looks like an asshole that is an wiseguy wannabe

[soprans100]

ACTUALLY THE MOVIE WAS AWESOME

[amazondotcombuyer]

yeah guys, buy the books you know where.

[jpd782]

This didn't place too long after he stopped being Donnie Brasco. So, you can tell, when this interview took place he still had alot of Donnie still in him. He's still kind of in "character." His mannerisms and such. Unlike now, where it's been 28-30 years or so. He's had time to grow out of it.

[moviesforrandy]

even one of your cop friends will kill you for a million dollars.

[Portilloizay]

Donnie "Fearless" Brasco.

[joeypolanski]

You GO, Joe!

Hey, folks, skip the crappy film with Depp and Pacino. Read Pistone's original book (the one that's being promoted here on Arsenio), and also read his Donnie Brasco: Unfinished Business -- two EXCELLENT works of non-fiction.
