The Man Show was a half hour comedy television show on Comedy Central, and the Comedy Channel in Australia. It was created in 1999 by its two original co-hosts, Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Carolla, and their executive producer Daniel Kellison. The show celebrated the male perspective in a sexually charged, humorous light. The show consisted of a variety of pre-recorded comedy sketches and live in-studio events, usually requiring audience participation.
The Man Show is particularly well-known for its buxom female models, the Juggy Dance Squad, who would dance in themed, revealing costumes at the opening of every show, and in the aisles of the audience just before the show went to commercial break.
Every episode of the man show ended with the German drinking toast "Ziggy Socky, Ziggy Socky, Hoy, Hoy, Hoy!",
Here is a great clip of Kimmel and Carolla messing with people at a truck stop.
The "Man Show Boy", an overweight teenager named Aaron Hamill with a sharp wit and rude mouth, was very popular with fans. Here's a clip of him using some fake i.d.s to buy liquor and porn.
There had to be a clip of the Man Show Juggies in here somewhere. Here we ask "What would guys do in an elevator full of Juggies?"
In 2003, Kimmel and Carolla left the show and the job of hosting was passed down to Fear Factor host Joe Rogan and comedian Doug Stanhope. Whereas the The Man Show struck a successful balance between celebrating masculinity and lightheartedly mocking machismo during the Kimmel-Carolla era, under Rogan and Stanhope it took a decidedly darker approach. The show lost its luster with most fans, leading to its eventual cancellation.
Fear not, however, as an Australian version of the show is currently being developed by The Comedy Channel, set to be based in Brisbane.
