Ed's Night Party
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ed's Night Party is a Canadian talk show that airs Friday nights on Citytv. It is hosted by Ed the Sock, a grumpy, cigar-chomping, insult-hurling sock puppet.
Originally produced for a Toronto local cable channel, the series was syndicated across Canada in the early 1990s. Ed's profile was raised even higher with a series of specials and appearances on the national music video channel MuchMusic. The series was taken off the air in Alberta and other parts of the country after the show aired a comedy sequence in which Ed is shown supposedly having sex with a Playboy playmate, even though the program was being broadcast in a late night timeslot.
Recently, the show has been put on G4 (TV channel), as part of their new Midnight Spank, late night television programming block, the first time seen on television in the United States. It is also currently seen on Australian Television via The Comedy Channel.
Ed the Sock was allegedly the inspiration for Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, who made his debut on Late Night with Conan O'Brien only three months after the Ed's Night Party producers' first attempt at getting on the air in the US.
