BEST OF TV FUNHOUSE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
