In their words

  • Colbert said The Dana Carvey Show was a poor fit for its ABC time slot following Home Improvement and was doomed from the start.

  • Colbert recounted that the show had a 13-episode commitment but only eight were shot and seven aired.

    “it was a 13-episode commitment, 13-episode buyout. That's why I moved to New York, you know, security. And then we shot eight of them, and seven of them went to air”
