Synopsis

Talkshow with Spike Feresten is a fast-paced half-hour that combines elements of a talk show with a studio audience and sit-down guests and adds to those elements with irreverent comedy sketches – both inside the studio and out on the street.

Hosted by Emmy-nominated writer Spike Feresten (Seinfeld, Late Show with David Letterman), Talkshow offers a fresh approach to the conventional late-night format. The series dispenses with the traditional monologue, features comedy in every act and uses guests in unpredictable ways.

Talkshow features fan-favourites from Idiot Paparazzi to Comedy for Stoners, along with a guest cast including 98-year-old Mae Laborde and the quirky reporter Rick Richards.

In the first season Talkshow welcomed guests such as Jerry Seinfeld, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Seth MacFarlane, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Cheryl Hines, Fred Willard and many others.

Season 2 guests include Ryan Seacrest, Jerry Seinfeld, Thomas Dekker, Jordin Sparks, Bryan Cranston and Carl Reiner.

Season 3 guests include Kara DioGuardi, Rex Lee, Vanilla Ice, J.B. Smoove, Lisa Kudrow, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Trace Adkins, Dana Carvey, Perez Hilton, Olivia Munn, Penn Jillette, Seth MacFarlane, Andy Richter, Jack Osbourne, Shirley Manson, Niecy Nash and Tony Rock.
