Career[]

MADtv[]

By the end of its second season (1996–1997), the Fox network sketch comedy television series MADtv experienced its first big cast turnover. Three of the show's repertory performers (Bryan Callen, Orlando Jones and Artie Lange) left the cast. As a result, in 1997, casting executives at Fox had to cast replacements for the show. Sasso (along with Alex Borstein and Aries Spears) was selected to join the MADtv third season cast as a regular cast member.^[2]

2002 – present[]

After leaving MADtv, Sasso's television appearances included four seasons as Carl Monari on Less than Perfect, as well as a role in Robson Arms. He played the role of Fortunio Balducci in Southland Tales. Sasso starred in $h*! My Dad Says, based on the Twitter feed Shit My Dad Says, created by Justin Halpern. The show premiered in the late 2010 and its cancellation was announced on May 15, 2011.^[3][4]

Sasso hosted the 2006 Canadian Comedy Awards in London, Ontario, as well as the festival's "Sketch & Improv Showcases". Additionally, he was a host at the 2005-2006 NHL award ceremony. Sasso appeared on the CSI episode "The Chick Chop Flick Shop". He also appeared in the Childrens Hospital episode "Frankfurters".^[5]

Sasso began posting videos on the online video service Vine, creating a running gag of him violently vomiting lemons without warning.^[6]
