ALF !?

I'm not sure if you remember this guy:



It's ALF ! It's an old comedy serie from NBC, it first aired in 1986 and he's still as populair as ever :) He's getting his own talk show, I'm hoping it will be good, despite being 21 and not being old enough to have seen it on tv back then I did catch quite a few reruns.

Here's a recent "interview" with Alf:

Kendis Gibson: What's the point of this talk show? And I like the modesty in calling it, "ALF's Hit Talk Show."

ALF: Hey, well I call 'em as I see 'em. It's a hit, man. It's going to be a hit.

KG: What's the idea behind the show?

ALF: Why not? Everyone else has had a shot at talk shows. I'm a people alien. I like talking. I like showing. Talk show -- there it is.

KG: You realize you're going to be up against some pretty tough competition, such as John McEnroe's new talk show.

ALF: What's it about tennis? He's not funny.

KG: Well he can't knock the guests you had on your show.

ALF: Oh yeah -- Drew Carey, Dennis Franz, Henry Winkler and Joan Rivers, not bad for 20 minutes.

KG: And you had Dennis Franz check out your new cookbook?

ALF: Oh yeah, I have a new cookbook that I'm shamelessly plugging: "Cats, The Other White Meat." And as soon as Bill Clinton's new book clears the charts, I hope to get that up in second place.

KG: Now I have to say that your career has had more show business lives than the cats you crave. You had the television show, appearances on those 10-10-220 commercials, and you kept "Hollywood Squares" on television for many years.

ALF: I saved them. I brought them from the doldrums up to the top.

KG: But "Hollywood Squares" is no longer, and the 10-10-220 commercials are no more.

ALF: I'm the kiss of death, is that what you're saying?

KG: So is this show a one-time thing and then it's done?

ALF: Well, it's a pilot, and then I guess what they're going to do, is see if people like it and the ratings and then we go on from there.

KG: We'll see if it lives up to its namesake, and become a hit.

ALF: I have all the faith in the world that this will be a hit -- it's a different show.
