Talkshow with Spike Feresten is an American talk/sketch/variety television program on FOX starring Spike Feresten.
Writers include: Joe Furey (Late Night with David Letterman, Newsradio), Jeff Cesario (The Larry Sanders Show, Comedy Central Presents), and Adam Felber ("Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!").
Some of the regular sketches on the show include "Idiot Paparazzi", where photographers hit the streets and take photos of people who vaguely look like famous people; "Comedy for Stoners", where a comedy sketch specially designed for someone who might be stoned; "Tomorrow's Headlines Today", when Spike reads headlines ("Ford Lays Itself Off", "Al Gore Melts", "NBC Pre-cancels Fall '07 Lineup", etc.) from Sunday's paper from various newspapers; sponsors for the show (such as Pitters beer, a very flammable beer sold in a breakaway bottle, with an AIDS test on the label, etc.), and "Backfat Sponsorship", where Spike uses one of his writer's (seemingly Felber, although not identifed) backfat to advertise Fortune 500 companies (Red Bull, PS3, and Ign.com). On May 7, 2007 FOX renewed Talkshow With Spike Feresten for a 2nd season. [1]
