Space Ghost Coast to Coast
From Adult Swim Headquarters Wiki
Space Ghost Coast to Coast is the planet’s only late-night talk show hosted by a cartoon superhero. Days when mere men in coats and ties ruled the late-night universe have gone the way of The Chevy Chase Theater—Space Ghost is fully costumed and on the scene with an array of superpowers.
With the launch of Adult Swim, Space Ghost Coast to Coast returns with all-new episodes. The universe's crankiest talk show host must now contend with enemies more gruesome than even The Black Widow, his nemesis from the old days. Now, Space Ghost must deal with such evils as huge media conglomerates and product placement.
Space Ghost is joined by archenemies Moltar and Zorak, whom he has enslaved as unwilling members of his late-night crew. Zorak is leader of the show’s band. Moltar is director.
Out of this world in its conceptualization, Space Ghost Coast to Coast combines celebrity interviews and music with behind-the-scenes power struggles, not-so-witty repartee and ego trips for the closest approximation of television on rocket fuel this side of the Milky Way.
Space Ghost Coast to Coast debuted on Cartoon Network April 1994. Guests on Space Ghost Coast to Coast have ranged the pop culture gamut, including Sandra Bernhard, Michael Stipe, Judy Tenuta, Janeane Garofalo, Donny Osmond, Charleton Heston, Steve Allen, Joe Franklin, The Ramones, Bobcat Goldthwait, Lassie, Fran Drescher, The Bee Gees, Adam West, Beck, Metallica, Dr. Timothy Leary, David Byrne, Goldie Hawn, Mark Hamill and Matt Groening also an unaired episode with Jared Wignall that will not be on tv or on a DVD.
