Sunday Funnies: The Sunday Comics (1991)

 Sundays have not always been entirely animated at Fox.

In the early 90's, the network relied on not just standard sitcoms like Married......With Children, but also comedy shows like The Sunday Comics, a spin-off from Comic Strip Live. Many of the comedians on this show also appeared on MTV's Half Hour Comedy Hour and the usual late night stops.

Actor Jeff Altman (ex-Pink Lady & Jeff, The Dukes of Hazzard) was the first host, but was dropped in favor of Lenny Clarke before production ended. Fox would replace this series with The Edge, featuring Tom Kenny and "Hollywood" Julie Brown, the next season, and, that, unfortunately, would bomb, as Fox had trouble finding a companion for In Living Color.

In this excerpt, the late John Pinette discusses the prospects of Russian food lines, and his experiences in Chinese & Japanese restaurants. Parental discretion advised for a certain "B" word.


Yes, this routine also aired on MTV.

No rating.
