Space Ghost Coast to Coast


Space Ghost Coast to Coast

Original Air Date: 1994-2004
Network: Cartoon Network
The only talk show on our list, Space Ghost: Coast to Coast is the Adult Swim's first and finest foray into relaunching an old character/series into something completely new. Hosted by everybody's favorite undead superhero Space Ghost, Coast to Coastwas a spoof talk show that borrowed characters and animation directly from Hanna-Barbera's campy '60s cartoon Space Ghost and Dino Boy.
With help from his friends/nemeses Zorak, Moltar and Brak, Space Ghost puts on the funniest and least relevant talk show in animated history. Boasting appearances by notable names such as The Ramones, Metallica, Hulk Hogan, Rob Zombie and Bobcat Goldthwait, Space Ghost: Coast to Coast found comedy in confusing and infuriating those being interviewed... as well as those watching the program. But that was the real comedy of the series: creating situations that were so absurd that when you finally understood the joke you couldn't stop laughing.
