Biography

Bill is likely most renowned for his sidesplitting portrayal of Tony Roletti, a charismatic lounge singer who captured the hearts of audiences on the satirical talk show America 2Nite.

Throughout his character's tenure on the program, Roletti's signature trait was his remarkable ability to sing off-key, leaving viewers in stitches with his warbled melodies.

Furthermore, Roletti's character was distinguished by his signature hairstyle, which often found itself in disarray, with his wig frequently slipping out of place, much to the amusement of the show's audience.

In addition, Roletti's character reached new heights of hilarity when he tied the knot with another lounge singer, in a wedding ceremony officiated by a wise and witty Yiddish rabbi.

This memorable union served as the culmination of Roletti's storyline on America 2Nite, leaving a lasting impression on fans of the show and cementing his place as a beloved and iconic character in the world of television comedy.
