1993 - Think Positive Comedy Central used to put some effort into their promos. If this one was to be described as if it were a Tivo program guide entry, it might be, "A man in a plunging elevator shares his fate with the Buddy Scott Trio."
1991 - Denis Leary for London Underground Comedy Central used to have a program called London Underground, known first as Paramount City in Britain where it originated. In this ad, Denis Leary promos the new season.
1990 - Night After Night Those of us who were fans of the Comedy Central program Night After Night With Allan Havey treasure what few precious mementos we can find of the show, because at the time it flew way under everyone's radar and wasn't the subject of obsessive documentation the way, say, The Daily Show has been.
