Season 3
Back for a third season, Talkshow with Spike Feresten is a fast-paced half-hour that combines elements of a talk show with a studio audience and sit-down guests and adds to those elements with irreverent comedy sketches – both inside the studio and out on the street.
Hosted by Emmy-nominated writer Spike Feresten (Seinfeld, Late Show with David Letterman), Talkshow offers a fresh approach to the conventional late-night format. The series dispenses with the traditional monologue, features comedy in every act and uses guests in unpredictable ways.
Talkshow features fan-favourites from Idiot Paparazzi to Comedy for Stoners, along with a guest cast including 98-year-old Mae Laborde and the quirky reporter Rick Richards.
Last season, Talkshow welcomed guests such as Ryan Seacrest, Jerry Seinfeld, Thomas Dekker, Jordin Sparks, Bryan Cranston, Carl Reiner and many others.
Season 3 guests include Kara DioGuardi, Rex Lee, Vanilla Ice, J.B. Smoove, Lisa Kudrow, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Trace Adkins, Dana Carvey, Perez Hilton, Olivia Munn, Penn Jillette, Seth MacFarlane, Andy Richter, Jack Osbourne, Shirley Manson, Niecy Nash and Tony Rock.
