Episode 146 - Too Funny to Fail: The Life and Death of the Dana Carvey Show

Akil finally returns to the newly re-formed Documenteers podcast for some humorous fare about a show that seemed like a no-brainer at the time and ended up being one of the strangest sketch shows to somehow air during primetime after family sitcoms on network television. Dana Carvey was an inevitable super star, so they gave him a show. Ge and Robert Smigel hired some weirdos (who would later become infamous) and came right out the gate with some weird and funny shit. A Hollywood tale that is either about what NOT to do when you get a network show on primetime OR and inspiring tale about an amazing show that wasn't appreciated in it's time. We're talking "Too Funny to Fail: The Life & Death of the Dana Carvey Show" by Josh Greenbaum. It's on Hulu and it made us laugh quite a bit. Go watch it and then cum hear us discuss it. You'll be glad you did.
