Howie Mandel's Sunny Skies is a sketch comedy television series, which aired in 1995.[1] Produced by Atlantis Communications for Showtime in the United States and CBC Television in Canada,[2] the series starred comedian Howie Mandel alongside a supporting cast of comedians including Stephen Furst, Tim Bagley, Deborah Theaker, Jennifer Butt and Rob Cohen.[3]
The series also included short videos created by one of its writers, then-unknown comedian Louis C.K.[4] Guest performers appearing on the series included Robert Smigel, Dave Foley, Gilbert Gottfried, Frankie Avalon and Moon Unit Zappa.
The show aired on Showtime in summer 1995,[5] and was scheduled by CBC Television to premiere in September.
The series was not well-reviewed by critics, or successful in the ratings in either Canada or the United States.[6] Showtime aired all 13 episodes, but in Canada CBC Television cut the series after five episodes and scheduled the remainder for a burn-off run in summer 1996.[6] Neither network renewed the series for a second season.[7]
Mandel garnered a CableACE Award nomination for Best Actor in a Comedy Series at the 17th CableACE Awards.[8]
