Synopsis
MonsterVision is an American variety series that aired on TNT from March 1, 1993 to September 2000.

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.
