synopsis
Paul Provenza hosts two 1994 episodes of the Comedy Central series Comics Only, a live talk show that only books comedians as guests. Unscripted interviews invariably veer into routines or improvisations. Guests include Jeff Foxworthy (twice), Pam Matteson, and Randy Kagan. Foxworthy makes fun of redneck Southern stereotypes, waxing comedic on childhood, parenthood, sex, married life, cross-country trips, and underwear. Matteson does impressions of famous women laughing, then jokes about her doting mother and about men who feel they always have to show their strength. Kagan offers environmentally themed satire and other neo-hippie comedy.
