I'm trying to think of the name of sitcom that aired on NBC sometime in the mid-90s. It wasn't a big hit but I think it was a midseason replacement, got picked up for the fall and aired a few episodes before being cancelled. It featured a stand-up comedian whose name I'm trying to come up with as well. I think it was an office-based type sitcom.

It's not The Good Life (with John Caperonera and Drew Carey).

Can anyone help? Thanks. Maybe provide a list of sitcoms that aired on the major networks in the 1990s that featured stand-up comedians. I know I would recognize the title if I saw it.

Life And Stuff
Boston Common
Minor Adjustments
The Jeff Foxworthy Show
The Louie Show
Mr. Rhodes

No it's not any of those.

The comedian I'm thinking of might have been a supporting character on the show.

It's driving me nut! I can't think of it. I can picture the comedian in my head but I can't think of his name.

Is it Nightline with Al Franken?

that show wasn't called "Nightline". I forget what it was called.


Anyway, was that the show? It took place behind the scenes at a "Nightline" type of show, and Al Franken played a reporter. I forget the name of it.


Oh, wait! Was the show "Working" w/Fred Savage?

No it's not Lateline or Working.

the Larry Sanders show with Garry Shandling?

No not Larry Sanders. What I'm looking for was a failed sitcom.

The Second Half.

Well Al Franken played a reporter on Lateline.

Could you be thinking of ABC's Sports Night?
