IanAUDIENCE
So, like, how you came up with TV pilots or sketches for the man show? Who screens these calls?
Adam CarollaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Yeah.
Adam CarollaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Well, I think a lot of it.
Adam CarollaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Hey, a lot of it comes for me with just things that have sort of kernels of truth and live in the real world.
Adam CarollaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I had a roommate.
Adam CarollaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
One of the man show bits we did was called Rest Assured, although we never really got a good name for it.
Adam CarollaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But it was a funny idea, which was basically single guys subscribe to this show.

Scott MoskowitzHOST
I don't actually have an exact segment.
Scott MoskowitzHOST
We discussed this a little bit before we went to air here, which was as inspired by, or at least maybe structured somewhat similarly to the old Adam Explains to 1780s Guy bits from the Man Show from back in the day, back when Jimmy Kimmel was not a... commie-tard and used to just like, you know, wear blackface and watch girls jumping on trampolines.
Scott MoskowitzHOST
What happened to Jimmy Kimmel?
Paul BanducciHOST
But they used to do this hosted the man show man show chauvinist show on TV for like 10 years.
Scott MoskowitzHOST
So but there was a bit that they would that they would do where Corolla was walking through like a park or a forest or whatever with the guy from the 1780s.
Scott MoskowitzHOST
And he's attempting to explain things about modern life to him.
Adam CarollaHOST
Drew stuff.
Adam CarollaHOST
And then at some point while I was doing other things or something, it was like, well, just get Adam from the Man Show or whatever it was.
Adam CarollaHOST
So it was just me.
Adam CarollaHOST
And I did the show and I
Adam CarollaHOST
Right.
Adam CarollaHOST

So they could do teams.

I first met Jimmy Kimmel way back when he was doing his own sketch show, The Man Show.
Bill BriouxHOST
Now I'm the one jumping up and down on trampolines to have him here as a BrioTV podcast guest.
Bill BriouxHOST
I've had the good fortune to attend tapings of Jimmy Kimmel Live in Hollywood and to get to know this fearless firebrand of late night talk shows a little bit over the years.
Bill BriouxHOST
As he explains, Kimmel called up Netflix, which is now running all the remastered episodes of the late 70s, early 80s series, and took on the project.
Bill BriouxHOST
The result is a brand new 90-minute documentary called SCTV, The Greatest Show You've Never Heard Of, premiering Friday, October 30th on Netflix.
Bill BriouxHOST
Jimmy even apologizes to all of Canada for the title because every last hoser here knows that this is the greatest sketch show ever made.
Bill BriouxHOST
Please give a warm Sammy Maudlin welcome to the FCC's favorite funny man, Jimmy Kimmel.
E-RayHOST
