About This Show

In the grand tradition of the Variety Show spearheaded by luminaries such as Carol Burnett, Dolly Parton, and Cher while briefly returning to the spotlight by none other than Maya Rudolph, UncutĀ From Air!, aims to resurrect the artform once more. Spanning from the iconic Don Francisco from Sabado Gigante to the eccentric Don Pardo of SNL fame, Uncut From Air! is a nod to the past, and a glimpse into a possible future with Variety show banter and whimsy brushing up against this day in age where reality is its own harsh unscripted farcical nightmare.
