According to Kevin Hart, producer of the Drunken Bachelor Talk Show, “there’s a real paucity of drinking-driven shows.” So he and comedian hosts Michael Collins and Eric Mather decided to rectify that situation a few years back by launching their own retro-style variety show.
Hart, Collins and Mather designed the show, which begins its fourth season tonight, specifically for Lannie’s Clocktower Cabaret; it was inspired by the black-and-white talk shows of yesteryear featuring such notables as Johnny Carson and the Rat Pack. “Every show’s going to be different,” Hart explains. “Basically, we’re a variety show; we throw everything at you. We follow the format of a typical talk show — we have hosts, videos that we make for each show and different guests. It’s casual, but it’s tight — and there is drinking.”
