The Ben Stiller Show is the groundbreaking early nineties sketch comedy show, now available on TheWB.com, that launched Ben Stiller into stardom, along with comics Janeane Garofalo, Andy Dick, and Bob Odenkirk. It originally aired on MTV in 1990 and then sold to FOX, where it re-aired in 1992. With only one season (containing 12 episodes) before it was canceled, the show was critically hailed a work of comic genius and a perfect mirror to pop culture of the day. As a result, it won the Emmy for Outstanding Writing in a Variety Series. It often portrayed Stiller and gang parodying famous icons like U2's Bono and Tom Cruise. The show would often have guest stars such as Howie Mandel, Bobcat Goldthwait, Dennis Miller, and Stiller's own father - the legendary Jerry Stiller. Though it has been two decades since the show first premiered, it continues to have a cult following and influence new sketch shows with it's out-of-studio format.MORE
