> Almost Live! was awesome, and even though nobody outside of the Puget Sound region has ever heard of it, you can thank it for giving you Bill Nye, the Science Guy, and Joel McHale, host of The Soup on E!, both of whom were cast members. It was pretty much the Western Washington state equivalent of Saturday Night Live, and even though it's only on in reruns now, I'll still watch it if I happen to be up when it's on.
