Format

The Man Show celebrated the stereotypical loutish male perspective in a sexually charged, humorous light. The Man Show consisted of a variety of pre-recorded comedy sketches and live in-studio events, usually requiring audience participation.

The Man Show is particularly well-known for its buxom female models, the "Juggy Dance Squad", who would dance in themed, revealing costumes at the opening of every show, and in the aisles of the audience just before The Man Show went to commercial break. The first year of The Man Show featured beer-guzzling entertainer Bill "The Fox" Foster as The Man Show's emcee. The Fox specialized in chugging two beers in record time (sometimes while suspended upside down) and singing lewd drinking songs. He would close every episode by leading the audience in the German drinking toast "Ziggy Socky, Ziggy Socky, Hoy, Hoy, Hoy!" (a misspelling of the actual Zicke, Zacke, Zicke, Zacke, Hoi, Hoi, Hoi!^[1][2]), a tradition that continued after his death in 2000. A model is a person who poses or displays for purposes of art, fashion, or other products and advertising. ...

Recurring segments

Some of The Man Show's features included:

• As guaranteed when The Man Show began, every episode ends with footage of "girls jumping on trampolines" during the end credits.
• A recurring character called The Man Show Boy, an overweight teenager named Aaron Hamill ^[3] with a sharp wit, who would make precociously rude comments to unsuspecting passersby (often attractive women) while a hidden camera recorded his antics.
• Frequent parody of NBA star Karl Malone performed by Kimmel, who was made up to appear black, muscular, and bearded, as well as shot from below to appear taller. Unlike the real Malone, Kimmel's character gave the impression that he was mentally retarded and had a speech impediment, as shown in his closing statement, "Dis here Karl Malone".
• Game show parodies, including Wheel of Fortune parody "Wheel of Destiny", in which men from the audience vied to win prizes. In general, four of the eight prizes were desirable (e.g., a wheelbarrow full of alcoholic drinks, 30 minutes in the back of a van with an attractive woman), while the other four were not (e.g., one of the co-hosts peeing on the man's wallet, a "swirlie").
• A "Man-O-Vations" segment, in which the two hosts proposed inventions for all manner of incidents.
• A famous skit, often posted online, featured Carolla and Kimmel setting up a booth at a farmer's market and successfully asking people to sign a petition to "end women's suffrage," demanding the repeal of the 19th Amendment (which guarantees women's voting rights).
• The Man Show tribute to The Benny Hill Show
• In the Rogan/Stanhope era, sketches frequently aired featuring Doug and Joe's "Magic Negro", who was "zippity here, zippity there, and zippity everywhere." He would appear at any given moment to help the two out with an issue, which usually led to him singing a folk jingle about treating your penis right. The sketches intended to mock films which used the Magic Negro stock character. During the sketch the Negro himself would usually name films and actors who have portrayed the character.
• In the Rogan/Stanhope era, they would have a segment called, "Ask Ted Williams" featuring the late baseball hall of famer in a block of ice answering audiences' questions. The real Ted Williams after his death, was cryogenically frozen by the request of his son, but was objected by his other children.

Theme song

The lyrics to the theme song were:

Grab a beer and drop your pants.

Send your wife and kids to France.

It's the Man Show!

Quit your job and light a fart.

Yank your favorite private part.

It's the Man Show!

It's a place where men can come together.

Look at the cans on this chick named Heather.

Juggy girls on trampolines.

Time to loosen those blue jeans.

It's the . . . Man Show!

Departure of Kimmel and Carolla

In 2003, Kimmel and Carolla left The Man Show and the job of hosting was passed down to comedians Joe Rogan and Doug Stanhope.
