TALKSHOW with Spike Feresten is exactly what the title suggests, a Fox talk hosted by Spike Feresten. In each weekly half-hour episode, Feresten features sketches, street interviews and chats with various celebrities. There are also various musical acts and “eclectic performance pieces” in addition to the comedy sketches that take place in the studio as well as out on the streets.

In the third season, one of the fan-favorite sketches, “Idiot Paparazzi” will return as well as “Comedy for Stoners.” Feresten will also feature new and returning celebrity guests as well as welcoming back his 98-year-pld correspondent Mae Laborde and angry local news reporter Rick Richards.

I rarely make time to watch late night comedy and talk shows largely due to the fact that if I am up that late at night, I’m usually busy writing. Having researched the synopsis for this show, it actually sounds kind of funny and could be a great show to jump to if, after 30 minutes of SNL have passed and I’m finding the episode dragging, I feel the need to flip over to something else. Is Feresten funny? Feel free to post a comment below and let us know if this series is worth checking out or adding to the DVR list.
