SNL 04/29/06 - Best of TV Funhouse
 
BEST OF TV FUNHOUSE
11:29pm 2006-04-29 ALL NEW!

From the familiar scruffy cartoon dog tearing through the host's portrait to the theme song and animated Lorne Michaels shouting, "Give Me Back My Show!" ? "Saturday TV Funhouse" has become a popular recurring feature on the legendary late night show since its first installment in 1996. The special will showcase the classic recurring series of "Funhouse" segments including "The X-Presidents," "Fun with Real Audio" and, of course, "The Ambiguously Gay Duo." TV-14 DLS

This morning as I was running errands, I was listening to Fresh Air with Terry Gross they reaired an interview with Robert Smigel from 1997, at the beginning of the popularity of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. You can hear the interview via their website after 3 PM EST on Friday, April 28th. Here's the link: Smigel Interview

geez... tv funhouse show.... wow... that sucks.... i never found the funhouse stuff funny

tommyp007 04-28-06 01:38 PM

I usually enjoy the funhouse stuff, but I wonder if 90 minutes worth will get old.

RobCA 04-28-06 01:51 PM

Can't wait, I love TV Funhouse. Hope they release this on DVD soon after!

Rob

Charlie Goose 04-28-06 03:02 PM

I'll watch, there are some really funny bits in there. Although, I would rather watch 90 minutes of Triumph. :)

Jeremy517 04-28-06 04:00 PM

Is JD Roth going to be on it?

Well compared to MOST of what passes for a skit on SNL these days?

I'm there! (Or rather my DVR is there.;))

GuessWho 04-28-06 04:18 PM

Ambiguously Gay Duo! :up::up::up:

TheMadMonk 04-28-06 10:36 PM

My favorite Funhouse bit is "Heteroy".

dhmac 04-29-06 08:35 AM

I hope last week's "Disney Vault" segment is included in this. I think that's the best one Smigel's done yet!

Goldberg74 04-29-06 02:57 PM

Upcoming episodes:

05/06/06: (H) Robert Langdon (M) Red Hot Chili Peppers

05/13/06: (H) Julia Louis-Dreyfus (M) Paul Simon

Mondo Kane 04-29-06 03:06 PM

The "Fun With Real Audio" skits were always my most favorite. Hope to see some in there.

Rogue588 04-29-06 04:09 PM

Smigel was on Conan last night. Pretty damn funny stuff.

No, he is too busy hosting that stupid voting underground reality show on fox.

Quack 04-29-06 10:37 PM

I'm kinda pissed that TV Funhouse isn't out on DVD yet.

Patman 04-29-06 10:51 PM

They are running the Jimmy Fallon bit into the ground.

Patman 04-29-06 11:25 PM

Okay, the bit when A & G find out that Jimmy left the show was funny.

Rogue588 04-30-06 12:14 AM

whew! I was worried that Jimmy wouldn't be able to find enough time in his busy schedule to make a cameo appearance...

Patman 04-30-06 09:23 AM

Jimmy's tear was epic.

Rogue588 04-30-06 11:40 AM

Almost didn't notice it. Thank goodness he pointed it out!

Snowmaker 04-30-06 11:55 AM

I'm surprised how many of those I have not seen or don't remember.

The Disney Vault one was pure Platinum.

Pokahotass
101 Felations :lol:

THX7966 04-30-06 01:03 PM

This is the only SNL I've watched all the way through in more than a decade. Some really funny stuff, but I can't believe what they get away with in these Fun House skits. I'm surprised the Disney lawyers weren't all over them for the Vault segments... they are notoriously protective of their copyrights.
