Night Stand with Dick Dietrick was an American television comedy show that satirizes American tabloid talk shows such as The Jerry Springer Show and The Jenny Jones Show. The series was originally broadcast in first-run syndication from 1995 to 1997, as well as on the E! Entertainment Television network. Night Stand was co-created by actor/writer Timothy Stack, who also starred as the show's host Dick Dietrick.

History

Night Stand premiered 16 September 1995 in syndication, running in over 87% of the US markets. It also aired on E! Monday-Thursday at 10:30p.m. (between Talk Soup and Howard Stern) and was distributed internationally. The partnership with E! led to a follow up second season.

Unlike other shows, each hour long syndicated episode was actually divided into two separate half hour programs which yielded 96 episodes for E! reruns. (E! kept the show for several years but only in reruns.)

The Night Stand production team went on to work with Howard Stern on Son of the Beach with some of their 'guests' also making appearances.

A well-received parody of tabloid talk show, Night Stand had plenty of funny scenes but one scene went unexpectedly too far when Dietrick (Timothy Stack) tore the clothes off a male model to see if he could impress a seemingly uninterested young woman guest looking for dates. After ripping off his shirt, the model's trousers were next but Stack accidentally pulled the underwear down as well and there was a brief (and unscripted) glimpse of male genitalia much to the shock of the audience and the performers. This scene has sometimes turned up on outtake program such as It'll be Alright on the Night.

The show's original slogan The Comedy That Makes Up Talk was later changed to The Comedy That Makes Fun of Talk.

Produced: 1995-1997 (48 episodes, 2 shows per syndicated episode)
