Should this make air, one thing you can't say is that Comedy Central didn't promote it enough...

Stay tuned for an all new episode of The Gong Show, coming up next after this week's fiftieth rerun of last week's all new episode of The Gong Show! (Then, Li'l Bush!)

I like Dave Attell. But then, I like almost every comedian that's been on Lewis Black's new show, and that hasn't made it any more watchable.

I had high hopes for that show. They were dashed with the first episode. Oy.

A couple of friends got to looking over that press release when they noticed this:

Executive Produced by Happy Madison Productions...

In other words, Adam Sandler's production company. Would this be a good or bad thing?

Video clips of the New York tryouts can be seen here, along with a New York Post writer's discussion of his own (failed) attempt.
