I don’t really remember any specifics, but I do know I watched The Uncle Floyd Show at some point. I do know both his brothers were part of Conan O’Brien’s band.

Uncle Floyd Vivino was one of New Jersey’s favorite sons, a great comedian, a great musician and one of the finest gentlemen in the Garden State. He will be greatly missed.

Requiem aeternam, Mr. Vivino.
