Dwight Gooden appeared on "The Joe Piscopo Show" on New Jersey's WNYM-AM on Monday to respond to the intervention Darryl Strawberry is orchestrating to help Gooden through what Strawberry believes is a potentially deadly drug problem.
Piscopo, the one-time Saturday Night Live star, made things pretty easy for his buddy Doc, dismissing the seemingly genuine concern expressed by Strawberry, three other friends of Gooden’s, and even his children as “gossip.”
Gooden admitted to having a drug problem — “I am an addict,” he told Piscopo — but insisted he is healthy and that missing an appearance last week at a WFAN event “definitely had nothing to do with drugs.
