This next item was previously reviewed at Saturday Morning Archives because reruns aired on Saturday mornings.
VH1 Classic (now MTV Classic) began offering original content about a decade or so ago, and one of the longest running entries was That Metal Show, the title derived from the popular Fox sitcom, That 70's Show. Eddie Trunk, a popular New York radio personality, hosted, assisted by comedians Don Jamieson and Jim Florentine (ex-Crank Yankers).
During the show's run in New York, Jamieson moonlighted as host of a roving game show on SNY, Beer Money, after Chris Carlin was reassigned. Anyway, Metal ran for 15 seasons across 7 years (2008-15), ceasing production as the channel was transitioning to MTV Classic.
Metal aired on Friday & Sunday nights, with the Saturday replays in between. Each "season" lasted 8-10 weeks, allowing for 2 "seasons" per year, except for the first year.
The following clip, culled from VH1 Classic's own YouTube channel, features a compilation of celebrity appearances from the popular Stump The Trunk segment, featuring the likes of Sammy Hagar, Chris Jericho, Sebastian Bach, Scott Ian, and others.
Rating: B.
