Life and career edit
Born in Rome, a former football referee and a graduate in sociology,[1] in 1979 Ippoliti was part of the short-lived disco duo Craabs.[2]
After some minor roles in RAI variety shows, in the mid-1980s Ippoliti started his career as a television writer and presenter with the show Provini, first broadcast on a Roman local station and later on Italia 1.[3][4] He had his breakout in 1988 with Dibattito!, a parody of talk shows, which was both a critical and ratings success, and which generated several spin-offs.[3][5]
In 1993, Ippoliti made his acting debut in the stage play Non e' mai troppo tardi.[6] Since 2011, he hosts a segment of the RAI morning show Unomattina in famiglia, presenting a press review that parodies gossip magazines.[2][7]
