According to a release from the company that is administering the licensing to the tapes of the old Rascals Good Time Comedy Hour, XMRadio and Rascals have struck a deal and XM will air the audio of those shows.
Over 200 hours of classic comedy with Celebrities such as Ray Romano, Drew Carey, Tim Allen, Sinbad, Rosie O’Donnell, Brett Butler, Dennis Leary, Dice Clay, Jackie Martling, Rich Jeni, Jeff Foxworthy, Joy Behar, Darrell Hammond, Rich Vos, Wanda Sykes, all the BIG stars!
All the BIG stars… and several hundred stars who had only been doing comedy for about 18 months, but signed the release and taped the show anyway! The Female Half of the Staff did the show (with Vic Dunlap and Wayne Cotter) early on in her second year of comedy! She’s contemplating a pleading lettere to Joel Haas to leave her performance OFF of any satcast! (“I’d rather give blood!” says she. See below!)
The release also mentions in passing that the company “has also starting (sic) taping a new Rascals Comedy Hour.” No indication as to whether that will be audio and video, or just audio only. (Or, perhaps it’ll be video only! Woulnd’t that be something.)
