Insomniac is one of the greatest late night shows ever!!!! Such a simple fun concept.

[@catherinesmith9820]

It really was a great show. I miss it.

[@dannydropshot9588]

Dave Attell is a Legend. He is every comedians favorite comedian. I had the pleasure of talking with him at Skankfest Vegas and he’s the sweetest dude ever. Thanks Dave ❤

[@jaredmatthews252]

Picked up Dave during his Insomniac years. He's solid, love you guys.

[@perseus9428]

Dave Attell is one of the funniest ever and , probably, the most under appreciated.

[@raleighsmalls4653]

And Norm is drastically overrated. He was funny quite some time ago. So what ? So was Joe Piscopo and dozens of others.

[@jf1274]

Every comic calls him one of the best. Not under appreciated by those who matter.

[@raleighsmalls4653]

@@jf1274 And who determines "who matters ?"

[@raleighsmalls4653]

@@jf1274 More like a barroom wag/insult comic. And why wasn't he disproportionately praised while he was alive ?

[@perseus9428]

@@jf1274 I see that too. And it's great. I just hope the general public will get to do the same.

[@robertgresham2591]

I’m one of those guys he was talking about watching insomniac. I was in HS, stayed up a little late and gave him a chance. He’s made me laugh ever since. And Mitch Hedberg? Just hysterical.

[@CB-ke7eq]

Similar for me, though I was in my early 20s. I got off work at 11 most nights, came home and played EQ while watching Imsomniac, Conan or MXC. High asf ofc lol.

Same!

That was cool hearing about Bill Hicks.

Dave is one of my favorite comedians. He seems unaware of his greatness. He is a comedian because it's just who he is. And I am grateful for him. ❤ Thanks guys

[@bmoc0867]

Daves the man. As the saying goes: he might not be in a class by himself, but whatever class he's in, it doesn't take long to do roll call.

Dave Attell always kicks ass, always quick and hilarious. All these three are fing great. And no, not shopping or driving.. you are my favorite people to talk comedy. Thank you.

[@MrHeuristics]

Best guest yet! Living legend. And I loved Insomniac as a kid.

[@MosHighChadro]

I watched every episode of "Insomniac" aka "Late Nights with Dave Attell" on Comedy Central. I loved that show.

[@JoeBlow-sr8mh]

Skanks for the memories. A piece of art. Never been another like that one.

[@ob1quixote]

I loved Dave's travel show where he went to all the after-hours places.

[@tommyrq180]

Attell was absolutely hilarious on Kill Tony. Perhaps the best guy at the table ever. Totally gets the whole KT vibe. Spade just sat there catatonic but it did not matter because Attell was so funny. 😊

[@ehpiercedmd]

Dave is the greatest stand up comic. The true "comic's comic". Only thing I have to say about the genius, Dave Attell is: "MO' KETCHUPS!"

[@Valleyoftexas-43]

I thought Norm was the true comic’s comic.

[@Sun_Cat_Pop]

Will Dave talk of his brief time on SNL - he's not done that very much Of my list of top ten comics, Dave is number 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 !!! Seeing Dave doing so many pod guest spots has been heaven and seeing this drop one minute ago has me so happy had to post so I could relax and enjoy it!

[@user-qm6vr5os1n]

Great post. Big fan as well

[@gabriellay6010]

Yea they have anyone from a cast member to a one time guest as long as they have any connections at all to SNL

Only here for Attell. Absolute Genius!!

[@policevanposition1993]

I'm only here for the free sandwiches.

[@GuitarBonk]

Pro tip: if Dana and David or any of their guest for some reason have to talk to Bill Maher, to avoid having Bill trampling over your comments, always preface your statements by expressing to Bill that you think he is so funny. This will shut him up long enough and allow you to say something without being interrupted. Thank me later.

[@gregquinn7817]

"You really are the modern day Johnny Carson"

[@sarkisianhavens]

Hater lol just say that

[@gregquinn7817]

@sarkisianhavens have you ever listened to Maher's podcast? I overall like Maher's product. But it's definitely true that he interrupts his guest with the only time he doesn't being when he is praised.

[@arrowguy173]

Club Random is enjoyable - the one with Spade definitely wasn’t that way.

[@BridgeportIPA]

Maher is a hack who smells his own farts.

[@coastuncle1965]

Skanks for the memories Dave!

[@spencerstracke92]

More jokes per minute than any other stand up, the king of club comics.

[@Als-lb5kb]

Dave is a legend so stoked he is starting to make the rounds on podcasts

[@stuckintheinbetween]

I, like many people, loved Insomniac. It was a late night show that reminded me of films that I grew up loving like After Hours.

Attell is GREAT! Miss him on his old show. 😂

[@jillhsales4958]

“boo, wanna party?” - DAVE ATTELL a legendary comedian. i dig his approach and position in the comedy world. he’s like underground punk rock vs top 40 punk. he’s like NOFX & Lagwagon as opposed to Blink 182 or Green Day. all very well respected & talented comedians in their industry. love the nod to Mitch & Jim. both dudes were amazing live. icons. thanks fellas!

[@polamidget1926]

Dave is the comics favorite comic for a good reason. He just bangs out jokes so fast and hits every single like a master. Young comics should watch a and learned from him. Who doesnt love Atell❤? Everyone should support Trump and see him when he comes to town

[@phillipnations5482]

Any reference to Bill Hicks is a gem. He was a wonderful and bright performer. Too soon.

I was at the old Riviera Hotel and Casino here in Vegas back in 2003, watching a comedy show. I don't remember which comedians were performing, but Dave Attell was there! I never heard of him previously. He really killed it!!! I wanna see Dave in concert again the next time he comes to Vegas!!! I had been waiting for Road Work - Part 2, where he performs at different comedy shows in different cities, like he did in the first Road Work. He, instead, gave us Hot Crossed Buns, on Netflix! Great show! And i must say one more thing... MO KETCHUPS!!!

Anthony B’s travel show was fantastic, so was Dave Attell’s Insomniac. If you like those then you’ll probably like Conan O’Brien Must Go. Only 4 episodes.

[@keyboard_g]

Love when Dana throws an anchor in the conversation with terrible, unrelated questions like asking him hows much money he makes while Attell is talking the process of comedy. @58:00.

[@kimlang2326]

You two need to be on Hot Ones! ❤❤ You guys would be great!

[@AishawithanEye]

I appreciate that you guys addressed how cold Kill Tony is-both physically and emotionally. That was the therapy I needed to recover from those haunting hours of my life watching the only episode I will ever watch of that nightmare. It bothers me that those younger male comics, who clearly have a lot to learn, didn’t respect you two more. 😡

[@eugeneport1748]

Tony is the worst part of Kill Tony. Only watch for standups and occasionally guests.

[@machtnichtsseimann]

Well, watching one episode isn't great research. After watching a lot of KT shows, if one is fair they will notice Tony being very supportive of sincere, humble comedians, not tolerating arrogant or self-centered and lazy comedians, appreciative of his guests, very quick and smart with his commentary, obviously roasting the amateurs ( with his tough love ), Non-PC, kicking comedians off when they are wasting the show's time, generously inviting certain comics with promise to open for him, and, yes, having his moments where he's being mean / not funny. He plenty respected Dave and David. If you don't find him funny, that's one thing, but your one-episode-judgment-conclusion is very superficial.

[@chadopitz6883]

Love all the Larry "Bubbles" Brown talk. Guy is one of the funniest people ever and so damn nice.

[@tracylynn75]

[@craigjohnson9929]

Great guest 👌

[@readerwriter2116]

Dave Attell's special was soooo good!

[@machtnichtsseimann]

Roseanne has been on KillTony many times, gets the format, and still is more positive and openly supportive in her comments. Doesn't mean she's a bad match for the show, because Tony is a roaster, roasts comedians at the mic, and still will compliment them if they have talent and did a decent job with their jokes. He doesn't sugarcoat it when the jokes weren't well thought out or written well. Attell is perfect for the show with his quick zingers, Spade was overwhelmed, but his quips were funny when he got them in there.

[@steve6513]

Whoah crazy that they got Anakins old Slave owner from star wars on.

[@richpatino]

Attell's alter ego knows so much about Macbooks. His Gary from Macmost is hilarious. Just youtube a mac lesson and laugh. 😂

Seen Dave like 2003 Santa Rosa, Ca and think I blew the chance to meet him while waiting to get in, saw him sitting smoking next to the bus. But I'm stupid shy.
