    • Trivia
      In the show's inception, producers commissioned 'Weird Al' Yankovic to write a theme song for the show. Yankovic wrote and recorded a song titled "Talk Soup", which the producers loved but ultimately decided not to use as the show's theme song. Yankovic included the song "Talk Soup" on his 8th studio album "Alapalooza" in 1993.

    Pretty good celebrity skit show

    In my opinion, this is a pretty good celebrity skit show. I enjoyed seeing Greg Kinnear as the host. There are many reasons why I said that. Even though Hal Sparks was an okay host, I sometimes wish that Greg Kinnear hadn't left. If you ask me, it seems that nobody stays with a TV show throughout its entire run anymore. Still, I enjoyed seeing the various hosts and other people spoofing celebrities. If you ask me, that was pretty darn funny. Before I wrap this up, I must say that I kind of miss this show. Now, in conclusion, I highly recommend this show to all you die-hard sketch show fans. You will really enjoy it.
