THE BOOB TUBE


I suppose this posting could have been better timed since The Tonight Show torch was recently passed on to Jimmy Fallon, but so be it.

Back in the early 90's -- when he was funny -- Ben Stiller had a sketch comedy show on FOX that was damn funny. Created by Stiller and Judd Apatow, The Ben Stiller Show lasted just 13 episodes before it unceremoniously canceled.

This particular sketch was aired just as the ugliness over who was going to replace Johnny Carson as host of the venerable late-night show was in full swing. Jeanne Garafalo's imitation of how Sinead O'Connor's audition might have gone had she actually auditioned is beyond hilarious -- and spot on.
