Father Guido Sarducci was a character in an early "counter-culture" comic book series called "Mother's Oats Comix". The commedian took this character and developed it, but it was CREATED by another artist.
- I've added the cartoonist in question, Dave Sheridan, to the article, but I'm not sure who actually created the character, Sheridan or Novello. Fire Star 05:22, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
What year was Novello arrested by the Swiss Guard? --DynSkeet 14:35, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
What a wonderful idea, Fr. Guido strolling the piazza and being arrested by the swiss guards!! It doesn't get any better than that, unless they tortured him on the rack. Has this been written up yet? where can we read it? Is there a transcript of his interview today with Al? It reminds me that Phil Henry interviewed a tourist in Rome on the day of the funeral complaining that he couldn't even get a bottle of wine delivered to his room because of all the comotion going on over at St. Pete's. Grazie for the story, and please continue to keep us informed of these memorable events. Ciao, Giuseppe - Eboli.
I'm pretty sure that Novello's first television appearances as Father Sarducci were on "The Jack Parr Show". That's not mentioned in the article and I didn't try to add it because I don't know the dates. If I'm correct, and if someone out there knows the actual dates, it would be nice to add that to the article. - Justin
[edit] Weasel words, free advertising
The reference to "Sarducci's" restaurant is largely immaterial unless the restaurant's walls are smothered with Fr. Guido Sarducci memorabilia, which is not apparent from the existing text. Also, those two sentences are laced with "peacock" words: "His appearances on SNL inspired the name of a successful restaurant in the center of Montpelier, Vermont called Sarducci's. The small restaurant has gained much attention in the state, attracting its share of celebrities with its authentic Italian food and atmosphere." The second sentence is irrelevant and appears to be little more than an advertisement for the restaurant. I recommend removal. Sethnessatwikipedia (talk) 07:03, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
