Viva Variety - S2E5

01/31/23 • 45 min

We didn't have to go very far back in time to find our first episode of the Variety Show month here on Those Were The Days. Travis took us to the heyday of Comedy Central, and brought us the European variety show spoof, Viva Variety! Run by the comedy geniuses in The State comedy troupe, this show encapsulates the 90s in a way we haven't experienced yet on this show. We hope you enjoy our chat, and don't forget to check out the show yourself!

Next week, Audie is taking us to one of the most iconic variety shows ever, HeeHaw.

Your assignment is to watch HeeHaw S16E17! Check it out on Youtube

Previous Episode

The French Chef - To Roast A Chicken

Well, hello there! Welcome to Julie Child's kitchen. That's right, we went all the way back to the OG cooking show. Amy has brought us a gem of history that was once the only real cooking show available. Julia Child is an institution in the world of cooking TV. So many times she's been imitated and parodied, yet several of us had never actually seen her do her thing on her own show. This was a wonderful trip, and a great way to close out this cooking show month on Those Were The Days.

Our next them is Variety Shows! First up on our list is coming from Travis

Next Episode

Hee Haw - Willie Nelson, Jim Stafford

Yeehaw! We went back in time to one of the most popular variety shows of the 70's and 80's. Hee Haw ran up to the early 90's and was consistently a high rated show, even outside of the heartland of America. There's just something about puns, dad jokes, goofy skits, and manic energy that makes a show work. We had a good time chatting about this one. Maybe we even had more fun talking about it than we did watching it. If you have any thoughts on Hee Haw, send us some email!

Next week, Stephen is taking us back to the high heeled, bell bottomed, big tie 70's with The Flip Wilson Show! Watch it for free on Daily Motion. Special guests are Redd Fox, Joan Rivers, and Helen Reddy.
