Governale grew up in Hauppauge, New York, where his parents ran a pizza shop. He attended Long Island’s Sachem Central School District, after which he worked as a stockbroker, which was the origin of his nickname ‘Sal the Stockbroker’. His career in comedy started by writing gags, and performing them in a small club.
In the mid-’90s, Governale started to make phone calls to the hit radio show “The Howard Stern Show”, and eventually became a regular caller to the show, which drew Stern’s attention, and he decided to hire him as a prank caller.

However, despite failing to gain the position, he had another great opportunity, nce Stern learned about his talent for writing comedy pieces.
