Used to watch that back in the day with my father and siblings.

Did it used to come on super late? I remember being tired and falling asleep whenever I watched it as a wee lad.

Yep. shyt used to come on 1am when I was growing up. It was rare that I made it through a whole episode until I got older.

Used to love watching this on Saturday nites as a kid. Sinbad and Mark Curry were the best hosts. Idk why people kept wanting to do comedy on Amateur nite. The crowd would start booing as soon as they started talking

Yup.....you had to be HELLA funny to survive as a comic on Amateur Nite....like damn near ready for your own HBO special.

Good singers that could over-sing always got love.

Rappers had it rough if they were amateurs. Soon as the music plays and you drop one bar, the whole crowd is booing.
