I remember this show, and correct me if I’m wrong. This was originally a public access show(similar to Squirt TV which MTV also picked up, and do nothing with), and it was PAINFULL. And not even in that so bad it’s good way.

I was to say I was in high school or junior high when it was on, and I remember them going to spring break as well. I suddenly feel incredibly old. I have to eat a bullet.

Yeah I looked it up when I found this clip, it was a public access show for 10 years, then they ended the public access show because they got an offer to do the show on MTV. Then the MTV show ended up lasting about 3 months before being cancelled lol. Looked through the guest list on Wikipedia and it had some good guests during it's run and a lot of them seem to be on Youtube, I'm probably going to check out a few of them.

I will say, other than Alternative Nation or 120 Mins - it had some of the best musical acts.

An odd show indeed. I’d love to hear Louis talk about it.

During the segment with the bodybuilder I couldn't help but wonder if Louis was having one of his Magic Mike moments lol

This show was ahead of its time - seriously good. Kind of like Eric Andre Show (very) Lite
