The Man Show

Episodes

Notable segments

• One skit featured Carolla and Kimmel setting up a booth at a farmer's market and successfully asking people to sign a petition to "end women's suffrage", demanding the repeal of the 19th Amendment. This sketch humorously revealed widespread fundamental political ignorance in the general population and how terminology could be used to manipulate public opinion. The majority of people who came to the booth, both men and women, were willing to sign the petition.
• A hidden-camera prank showed Carolla and Kimmel, dressed as hunters, tying an animatronic deer to the roof of a car, parked at a truck stop, using the deer to prank unsuspecting passersby. Carolla and Kimmel hid in a van parked nearby, making the deer move and talk, asking people to untie it, and even asking a police officer to shoot it.
• The Man Show tribute to The Benny Hill Show
• There were several hidden-camera segments featuring "The Man Show Boy" Aaron Hamill, who was 11 years old at that time. One skit had him standing outside a liquor store asking customers to buy him beer, while in another he walked around on a beach hitting on women. He made one-liners, which always caught people he approached off-guard. An episode featured him walking around with a puppy. When a man stopped to pet the dog, he told him, "I just use him to get girls. Unfortunately, I've been attracting gay guys all day though." Another notable skit by Aaron Hamill took place outside, with him running a beer stand. Similar to the classic lemonade stand, the boy set up in the middle of a public sidewalk, trying to sell beer instead of lemonade, to pedestrians. He grabbed attention of many people, using foul language and savage behavior, including a line telling a woman: "listen up, Hitler, there's no Germans here, you can get lost" as she was stating her opinion on the boy's illegal selling of alcohol, and telling a couple that the boyfriend should drink both beers so his girlfriend would look better.
• The hosts visited Snoop Dogg's house, where they messed around with him in his recording studio, as well as getting stoned with him off-screen in his "Green Room".
• One recurring skit featured Kimmel's impression of former Utah Jazz star Karl Malone. Kimmel would appear in blackface make-up while wearing a bald cap and body suit, filmed at an angle which made it look like Kimmel was very tall, and dole out advice on subjects such as history, health, and China. The impression pokes fun at Malone's well-known inarticulacy, and Kimmel's impression strongly implied that Malone was stupid, reliant on having the "Jamz" star player repeat himself constantly, refer to himself in the third person, speak in an odd Southern accent, and throw in a large number of double negatives.
• The 1999, 2000, and 2001 seasons occasionally featured segments entitled "The Monkey Bar", where chimpanzees duplicated real-life human exploits in a similar style to that of the 1970s American Broadcasting Company program Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp. One such performance entailed a conversation in a bar which referred to a penguin joke. In another, Jimmy Kimmel sent his wife, Gina, to Poland in order to allow him to be with his new "simian wife", referred to by his real-life children as "monkey mommy".
• "The Wheel of Destiny", a recurring segment based on the chance to receive either pain or pleasure resulting from the spin of a wheel. Good prizes included a ride in the 1960s Batmobile with Adam West, a wheelbarrow full of porn, a celebrity who would pretend to be their friend, and eating a candy bra off a porn star. Bad prizes included "Adam pees on your wallet", "Shave your eyebrows", "Forklift Wedgie", and "Call your mommy and admit that you masturbate".
