$#*! My Dad Says

The Showtime cable network launched this weekly, half-hour monologue series on August 1, 2002. Aimed at viewers who liked their laughs without censorship or rules, the program was launched with a stream of scatological hilarity from cutting-edge standup artist Charlie Viracola. Later participants included Dwayne Kennedy, Patrice O'Neal, Matt Lundholm, and Gary Gulman. Six episodes were produced in all.

Entertainment on the 10th annual gala features a sketch with Lily Tomlin as Ernestine on the Internet; a "Babe" spoof pairing Beatrice Arthur with a pig; banter between "Ab Fab's" Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley; and routines by Don Rickles and Rodney Dangerfield. Presenters include Richard Pryor, Jonathan Winters and Tommy Smothers.

Host Andrea Martin presents Canadian stand-up, sketch and musical performers. Included are the Kids in the Hall, Mike Bullard, Corky and the Juice Pigs, Jeremy Hotz and Frank Van Keeken.
