FOX ORDERS MORE LATE NIGHT LAUGHTER WITH SPIKE
FOX has ordered an additional season of the late-night laugher TALKSHOW WITH SPIKE FERESTEN. The atypical Saturday-night talk show will return for a full order of episodes for the 2007-2008 season!
TALKSHOW WITH SPIKE FERESTEN boldly goes where other talk shows have gone before, only faster. TALKSHOW is a fast-paced half-hour that combines elements of a talk show with irreverent comedy sketches – both inside the studio and out in the field.
Hosted by Emmy-nominated writer Spike Feresten (“Seinfeld,” “Late Show with David Letterman”), TALKSHOW was highlighted in its inaugural season by recurring sketches “Idiot Paparazzi” and “Comedy for Stoners” as well as unconventional guest appearances by Fred Willard, Andy Richter, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and, of course, Spike’s old boss – Jerry Seinfeld.
TALKSHOW dispenses with the traditional monologue, features comedy in every act and uses guests in unpredictable ways. In addition, the show utilizes its staff by having them perform, which, mind you, is also a huge money-saver.
TALKSHOW WITH SPIKE FERESTEN airs Saturdays at 12:00 Midnight-12:30 AM on WPMT FOX43.
