Dave Attell launches ‘Mystery Science Theater’ of porn

October 20, 2011 By Kathy Shaidle

Punchline:

…rejoice, fans of Attell! This Thursday marks the beginning of what sounds like the perfect vehicle for his brilliant brand of cringe humor. Dave’s Old Porn premieres on Showtime at 11:30 pm ET. The show will feature Dave and weekly guests (Whitney Cummings and Ron Jeremy on the premiere, pictured above) sitting on a couch and providing commentary to the porn films of the 70’s and 80’s that play behind them in a Mystery Science Theater 3000 type manner.

Joining Attell in future episodes is a slew of great comedians including Daniel Tosh, Jim Norton, Bill Burr, Adam Carolla, Greg Fitzsimmons, Margaret Cho, Jason and Randy Sklar and Chelsea Handler. Also adding commentary will be porn stars new and old such as Belladonna, Bobbi Starr, Nina Hartley, and Sharon Kane. If you know those names, this show is for you.

Attell talked about his new show yesterday on hour 2 of the Nick & Artie Show.

(Reminising about how, er, hirsute 1970s porn is/was, DiPaolo quipped that it was like “watching two skunks fight in the street.”)

Porn conniseur Adam Carolla is one of Attell’s guests, and today’s podcast is about the new show, and other stuff.

Assuming I can even access the show in Canada, I’m not sure I could last a whole episode, but if the guest is someone I like…

The shows are in the can (so to speak) so perhaps they can be viewed online.
