Barth Gimble, Jerry Hubbard, Happy Kyne - this show left me crying with laughter every time I watched it. I remember switching this on late at night - it was the perfect sendup of talk shows. Barth Gimble as the cheesiest host imaginable - wearing long-sleeve Hawaiian shirts with his sportcoats. Jerry Hubbard in his asinine best, constantly displaying his lack of an IQ, was the perfect sidekick. Happy Kyne, the sad sack leader of the studio band , "The Mirthmakers" had about as much mirth in him as a funeral director.
The guests were an assortment of people who were patently insane. The guy with the obvious toupee, which would fall off each time he was a guest; the slick infomercial sales guy; the constant flow of losers as guests made me go into convulsive laughter. Above all, the subtle sick looks Garth directed at Jerry or one of the delusional guests would again make me crack up. There are funny shows and there are shows that make you gasp for air as you double over in laughter spasms. Fernwood 2 Nite was the ultimate . Watch it on YouTube.
