    What made ILC differ from other comedy shows out there at the time & even comedians & comedy shows now? Was it the jokes? Dusguises? Dancers? What made it unique to you?

    I would say it has to be the cast and the material. Although SNL did spoof comedy, ILC had a brand of characters that caused so many actors/actresses recognition and brought fame and fortune to almost everyone that starred on the show. Even the dancers. The sets were a little low budget but the comedy was dead on. It got a little dry towards the end but that's because Keenan didn't have much to do with the later seasons but it was still really funny.

    I think it was because they went where other shows wouldn't dare, such as the "Men On" skits, "Homie the Clown" being a sort of kid hating clown, "Vera" , and their characters were funny.

    Having a relatively new channel in FOX and a producer that enjoyed to test the limits of network television with edgy sketches, ILC did soem things that hadn't been tried on TV before, with a lot of early success.
