Last week, Super Dave Osborne conducted the ultimate interview with nosferatu Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idaho) and his wife for the Jimmy Kimmel show. In the best John Stossel manque fashion, Osborne "cuts the crap" and asks the questions American voters want to hear answered, especially the one about whether Craig hawked his wife's body parts on eBay.

Super Dave without a stupid stunt that goes horribly wrong? I don't like this one bit.
Was that supposed to be funny and/or entertaining? It failed miserably as far as I'm concerned.
Dave's show is destined to last less than one of his segments if that is the best he can do. The cut-and-paste interview format has been done much better, by better people, with voices that do not cast me into an epileptic fit a-la Cosmo Kramer.
Dave Osborn is probably one of the funniest, most underrated actors out there right now. See Arrested Development and Curb Your Enthusiasm for proof.
interview with nosferatu Sen. Larry Craig
(R-Idaho)
I thought noferatus sucked blood?
Mostly lame, but nice to hear, "I hope you go to jail for
life."
Until that line, I though I had thrown away two minutes of my life.
Instead, it was 1:58.
Underrated why? I loved Curb, but this is not comedy of the same
caliber.
"Quite a penis on that boy, Hugh.."
I sort of wonder why super Dave wants Craige to go to jail for life...but I really want to know why reason TV does.
I wonder why joshua corning can't figure out Super Dave's brand of extra dry humor.
I was expecting that to be funny. Instead it's just another fake
interview. Yawn.
I agree with Josh. highnumber, why is it funny to say "Hope you go
to jail for life?"
I won't explain it to you, as dissecting humor is like
dissecting a cat. You may learn something, but you lose what you
had.
I will tell you that the more that other people don't think it's
funny, the funnier it gets. Tell me what else you didn't find
entertaining about it. Are there any parts that offended you?
I found it kinda funny but the I hope you go to jail for life. was just ugly. The anti-libertarian sentiment offended me.
For funny guys with big egos, I vastly prefer Space Ghost:
