The Showbiz Show is a weekly television program on Comedy Central that stars David Spade. It is a comedic parody of celebrity news programs such as Entertainment Tonight and Access Hollywood. The show was developed from David Spade's Hollywood Minute segment on Saturday Night Live.
Each episode features Spade commenting and poking fun at the week's entertainment news. Spade's comedy on the show makes abundant use of biting one-liners that usually insult celebrities:
| Michael Jackson is selling his Neverland Ranch -- apparently now that it's 15 years old he doesn't find it attractive anymore. |
The show also features comedians Brian Posehn, Andrew Daly, Scott Adsit, Nick Swardson and Jessi Klein as entertainment correspondents. Rob Lowe occasionally appears between commercial breaks to tell a joke with a deadpan expression.
The show debuted on September 17, 2005. First season episodes aired Thursdays at 10:30 p.m. EST through the end of December. The second season debuted on March 23, 2006 and ended on June 29. Midway through the season, the show was moved a half-hour earlier to 10:00 p.m.
