Fridays

3 Seasons 1980 - 1982 TV-PG 1h 10m 7.5

Live late-night comedy sketch show similar to "Saturday Night Live."

"Fridays" was a live comedy program themed after "Saturday Night Live," but it did not run in "prime time," it aired after the local nightly news, usually at midnight EST. The comedy sketches were often quite bizzare, especially those involving Richards or David. Also, it did indeed have musical performances, with a much stronger new-wave/punk focus than SNL. Musical guests included the Boomtown Rats (Bob Geldof sang "I Don't Like Mondays"), Split Enz (the Finn brothers sang "I Got You"), and The Clash (Joe Strummer howled-out "London Calling").
