Richard Kind’s first breakout role was on this NBC sketch comedy series led by the legendary Carol Burnett. Debuting in 1990 and running for two seasons, the series boasted a promising ensemble that included not only Kind but future Emmy winner Jeremy Piven and Terry Kiser, of Weekend at Bernie’s fame.

“We had a magnificent cast. That was a challenging show. I call it The Twilight Zone for comedy, because it was an anthology series, and every week, you had a half-hour play, and in a play, you have to introduce characters, tell them what the problem is, see the problem and then resolve it. All with about six or seven people, the center usually being Carol. That’s a difficult proposition.

But I would say 62 percent of the time, it was really good. Like The Twilight Zone. There were some clunkers on The Twilight Zone. They were not all perfect. And there were one or two where people, to this day, come up to me and quote some of those things. They probably were kids home on a Saturday night.”
