The George Lucas Talk Show

Sunday at 8pm ET

The George Lucas Talk Show, for 6 years a modest cult sensation at NEW YORK CITY'S UPRIGHT CITIZENS BRIGADE THEATRE, has, in 2020, suddenly found itself without a home. Separated by thousands of miles, retired filmmaker GEORGE LUCAS (notoriously dead-eyed character actor CONNOR RATLIFF) and his loyal talk show sidekick, WATTO (GRIFFIN NEWMAN, from Amazon Prime's canceled-too-soon phenomenon THE TICK), joined by their occasionally exhausted producer PATRICK COTNOIR (@patrickcotnoir on Twitter, follow him ), have decided to officially re-launch their show from the self-quarantined, socially distant, fully digital safety of the PLANET SCUM channel on TWITCH....

### The George Lucas After Show

"If it doesn't end in the next 30 seconds, I could see it going for hours"
*-Retired Filmmaker George Lucas*

"The After Show is like, sassy, right? This is when things get unnnnnnnnbuttoned."

*-Emmy Award winning actor, and voice of Forky, Tony Hale*

In an effort to make every episode of the George Lucas Talk Show an *"Irishman+"* (at least 60 seconds longer than Marty Scorsese's film, the Irishman), the After Show was created to continue the show after all of the guests have decided to leave. Upon completion of the *Irishman+* the hosts and any current guests dance to royalty free music created by Vlad Gluschenko . Sometimes the show takes the format of "*A Sweet Three*" (also known as "a *Casino+*"), and lasts only 3 hours due to Retired Filmmaker George Lucas' penchant for trilogies. The After Show will sometimes move into an "After Dark" segment where the hosts are allowed to talk about adult situations.

* Episode VI with Dan Milano and Eric Robles

## MACLUNKEYS TO(JEDI K)NIGHT

THE GEORGE LUCAS TALK SHOW will revisit the complete two season saga that was MUPPETS TONIGHT.  Retired filmmaker GEORGE LUCAS (former UCB HAROLD NIGHT performer CONNOR RATLIFF) and his sidekick WATTO (UCB MAUDE NIGHT alum GRIFFIN NEWMAN) will watch all 22 episodes in approximately 11 hours on this most sensational, inspirational, celebrational, muppetational, candy-ass, prissy, feckless, off-the-charts, greed-filled whorehouse of a twitch channel hell-bent on doing nothing that might challenge their audience.  That device in your hand is a crack pipe!

## STU-D2 1138 ON THE BINARY SUNSET SITH

The NATIONAL BROADCASTING SYSTEM's most valuable franchise was in big trouble when EXECUTIVE PRODUCER WES MANDELL took to the airwaves and told the audience to change the channel.  Before long, DANNY TRIPP and MATT ALBIE were brought back into the fold to take the reigns on the show they had been fired from just four years earlier, the legendary Friday night live broadcast, STUDIO 60 ON THE SUNSET STRIP.

## The Big Alakens

GEORGE and WATTO re-visit the first, and (so far) only, season of the single camera comedy BIG LAKE starring comedian CHRIS GETHARD. They are joined, as always, by their naptastic, snackeriffic producer PATRICK COTNOIR, who booked an array of spectacular SPECIAL GUESTS including CHRIS GETHARD, BRITT LOWER, HAYES DAVENPORT, LENNON PARHAM, NICK MOUGIS, DYLAN BLUE and HORATIO SANZ.

Throughout, they raised money for WATER.ORG, a global nonprofit organization that has empowered more than 29 million people with access to safe water or sanitation.

## All Day Star Wars Marathon

"The George Lucas Talk Show hosted a 30+ hour marathon of all 14 live action Star Wars movies as a fundraiser for the laid off UCB Theater staff in New York. How much will they raise? Will they have to watch all of Arli$$? Will George lose his mind? Only one way to find out. Yippee."
