Night Stand (1995–1999)
10/10
Mock talk show comedy takes a stand
25 June 2015
I'm just recently tuned into this show again, via Youtube, and boy, what a fu..in funny show, this one was. I remember my dad loving it too. A slightly bucktoothed and quick witted and talk show host, Dick Dietrich (the names fictional) has warring parties (budding unknown actors) come onto the show and sort of fight it out, while our Dickie boy, cuts in, or bounces off their dialogue with mostly snappy and cutting remarks, that provoke laughter, not just from the audience, but us attentive viewers. Dietrich is played by the guy, you might remember, delivering the baby, Harry Dunne, in that cheesy prequel to the Dumb And Dumber movie, and he's in top form here. You can't help loving the guy, in spite of his, at times, disdainful or heartless remarks. The actors deserve full credit too, holding their own, against our man with the microphone. Whatever their role, they're funny and top form, too. Some larger than life, and sometimes, outlandish (unreal) topics are brought up, but there's never a shortage of laughs. Night Stand is one of those top of the line comedy shows, where laughs just keep coming, perpetually, and they're the comedies I love. Catch this show on Youtube, it's a must. If snubbing it, you're missing out on hours of comedy relief my friend, but comedy lovers you are, this one is of course, again, is not for all tastes.
