The Bobby Heenan Show
1 season • 1989 • Ended
Comedy
Roddy Piper had become co-host of the WWF's weekly show along with Gorilla Monsoon, and had taken the Brain's spot. So, the wind up was Bobby Heenan getting his own talk show, which can best be described as a cross between Larry Sanders and Fernwood 2 Night with a little bit of Howard Stern's first TV show thrown in. The Bobby Heenan Show was well ahead of its time, and I believe only a few episodes were run before it went off the air. Like Police Squad and Get A Life, it was an incredibly funny show that had a cult following, but a cult following doesn't keep you on the airwaves.
