HOWARD STERN SHOW, THE: THE LESBIAN DATING GAME {JOE PISCOPO, AL SHARPTON} (TV)
Summary
One in this comedy/variety series hosted by morning radio personality Howard Stern, who brings his raunchy and often outrageous radio show to television. In this episode, Stern, along with his regular cohorts, mimics the 1960s game show "The Dating Game" with a version of their own called "The Lesbian Dating Game." First, actor and comedian Joe Piscopo pays a surprise visit and announces his engagement to his girlfriend Kimberly. Then, Stern plays the host of "The Lesbian Dating Game" which follows the style of the original show: the contestants discuss topics such as their first lesbian experiences, their secret fantasies, and their personal lives. While Robin Quivers reads the news, the Rev. Al Sharpton pays a visit; Stern questions Sharpton on why he wears a jogging suit most of the time, the rumor that he was once a hairdresser, where and when he started preaching, the origins of his name, and what his typical day entails. Commercials deleted. This program is closed-captioned.
(This program contains adult-oriented material.)
