MonsterVision is an American variety series that aired on TNT from March 1, 1993 to September 2000. The series was hosted by Joe Bob Briggs from 1995 to 2000, and featured classic B and cult films from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. Penn and Teller guest-hosted MonsterVision marathons before Briggs came on board as the full-time host. Late in its run, the show changed formats, discarded "Last Call," and became Joe Bob's Hollywood Saturday Night and Monstervision.

Joe Bob's monologues: literary, filthy, weirdly profound.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Joe Bob Briggs is the alias of John Bloom, a legitimate film critic who invented the persona to review drive-in movies for the Dallas Times Herald.
MonsterVision helped rescue dozens of forgotten B-movies from obscurity, creating a canon of 'so-bad-it's-good' that influenced everything from Mystery Science Theater 3000 to modern ironic viewing culture.
