I may have just misattributed that Jim Carey joke to Nye, while recalling his Shatner-Does-Broadway sketch. But I also loved Almost Live. Speedwalker and COPS of Ballard, as I mentioned to Tilted Kilt.
My favorite was “Mind Your Manners with Billy Kwan.”
I’m guessing you go back to the days of Ross Shafer. Those were by far the funniest seasons of all.
