Celebrating the 25 Year Anniversary of host Nico McEown's childhood favourite stand-up variety show. This show represented opportunity for African-American comics in the 90's. There are exceptions, but for many of these comedians, getting televised exposure was almost entirely impossible, that was until Russell Simmons produced Def Comedy Jam and changed the comedy landscape forever.
