The Late Show

The late show, It gave people a reason to stay home on a Saturday night. It was a great show, but then again any show with Tommy g, jane, rob, mick, jason, santo, tony, judith and good old alf in it has to be a good show.

But the late show comedy never died even after being taken off the abc. Tommy G, rob and santo went on to create working dog productions creating movies such as the dish and the castle. Jane went on to work on frontline with the working dog boys. Micky, tony went on to the radio then films including bad eggs and crackerjack with Judith.

SO PLEASE BRING BACK THE LATE SHOW ABC

I'm only 17, so I wouldn't have remembered the Late Show when it was shown on the ABC in 1992. However I have always had a tape with one episode recorded on it (the one with Oriental Shitscared) and I watched it for the first time in 4 years about a week ago. A few days ago my brother bought me the Best bits of The Late Show for my birthday, and my god I have never laughed so hard!

The regular segments like Tommy G's news desk, Shitscared, Graham and the Colonel and the hilarious piss-takes of various people (most of which I have never even heard of, but it's still hilarious) particularly John Hewson trying to criticize Paul Keating, but clearly has no idea what he's talking about.

Hewson: Well I'm more concerned about the people of Australia, and I challenge the Prime Minister, I challenge Paul Keating to respond.

Tommy G: ... To respond to what?

Hewson: (stares at the camera with a clueless look on his face) ............... My...... My challenge.

Tommy G: ... Which is?

Hewson: (stares again) ...............I......... I dunno. It's just a.... just a general challenge.

Another hilarious segment is where Mick Malloy explodes in a rage about certain issues, and Tommy has to call a bunch of dudes with fire extinguishers to cool him off.

If you are a fan of any of Martin, Malloy, Rob Stitch, Tommy G, Santo or the other cast members, sketch comedy, or Aussie TV, then get your hands on The Best Bits of the Late show. Truly champagne comedy!

this is a must see for any one who has every longed for the Late Show to return, they're comic timing is impecable and they can make you roll around on the floor wetting your pants, it's the best

The Late Show is quite frankly the greatest comedy show ever. Fast Foward was great, and it comes close, but the late show has more wit and more idiocy to it.

DEATH!!!! When i mean death, i mean death of laughter. The Dvd is awesome, not enough, but still amazing, it almost killed me. This is so original, i mean even the interviews on the street were death, the award to death goes to that guy who couldnt even talk properly 'uhhh i don know, i tink ahhh (total gibberish) somfing fardar', man that guy killed me. was the greatest thing i ever saw.

Things like sh*tscared, charlie the wonderdog, the drive thru church, the arnold scharzennegger interview, the news interviewing the amazing rob sitch. Death, that guy is a chameleon, no one looks or does better impersonations of people than him.

Saturday night live is nothing compared to this. This is what comedy skits should be like.

I cant explain that much, but anyone who reads this, order the dvd from aus, you will not regret it, it is one of the greatest things ever created by man.

Greatest comedy ever.

i think i'll have a relax tommy.

The D-Generation's unique mix of Satire and Slapstick created a new style of comedy- Undergraduate humor. A pre-runner to "The Chaser's War On Everything", "The Late Show" did everything and anything for laughs, from breaking the 4th wall, to street interviews and pranks, to impersonations galore and heaps of other smart and stupid crap- by the way it's on sale for under $20 until, I think sometime in December-so grab it while you can!!! The masterpiece of The D-Generation troupe (Yes I even consider it superior to "Frontline" even tough that's very good as well), they broke all the rules and with the guys/girls going on to other spectacular things. My only complaint is that the show didn't last all that long- (2 years, 2 seasons), Oh well, at least the DVD keeps me entertained.

Oh and by the by, my other two favorite TV shows are "The Paul Hogan Show" and "The Chaser's War On Everything"- also highly recommended!!!
