No, You Shut Up! was a hilarious comedy talk show hosted by Paul F. Tompkins that aired on Fusion TV from 2013-2016. Each episode featured a panel of puppet characters, voiced by talented comedians, who discussed current events, social issues, and pop culture. The show's format was unique, as it blended traditional late-night talk show elements with puppetry and improv comedy. The puppets added a level of absurdity and unpredictability to the show, making it a must-watch for fans of offbeat comedy.
The show often featured guest appearances from well-known comedians and celebrities, who were interviewed by Tompkins and the panel of puppets. The puppets themselves were also given a chance to interview guests and offer their own opinions on various topics.
Some of the most memorable puppets from the show included Hot Dog, a hot dog bun with a New York accent; Prince, a pompous British fox; and Tardy Turtle, a slow-moving turtle who always seemed to be running behind.
In addition to the panel discussions and interviews, No, You Shut Up! also featured a number of recurring segments, such as "Celebrity Secret Whisper," where puppets would share scandalous rumors about celebrities, and "Jeepers Creepers," where the panel would discuss terrifying creatures from folklore.
The humor on No, You Shut Up! was often irreverent and silly, but it also had a sharp edge that was aimed squarely at politics and social issues. The show tackled subjects like immigration, gun control, and same-sex marriage, but always managed to do so in a way that was both funny and thought-provoking.
One of the show's most memorable moments came during the 2016 presidential election, when Tompkins and the puppets staged a mock debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. It was a brilliant example of how the show could take even the most serious of issues and turn them into an absurd, yet insightful, sketch.
Overall, No, You Shut Up! was a one-of-a-kind comedy show that managed to be both smart and silly. Its unique format and talented cast of puppets made it a standout on television, and its irreverent take on current events and social issues made it a favorite of comedy fans everywhere.
