| Wear a mask! The George Lucas Talk Show, for 6 years a modest cult sensation at NEW YORK CITY'S UPRIGHT CITIZENS BRIGADE THEATRE, has, in 2020, suddenly found itself without a home. Separated by thousands of miles, retired filmmaker GEORGE LUCAS (notoriously dead-eyed character actor CONNOR RATLIFF) and his loyal talk show sidekick, WATTO (GRIFFIN NEWMAN, from Amazon Prime's canceled-too-soon phenomenon THE TICK), joined by their occasionally exhausted producer PATRICK COTNOIR (@patrickcotnoir on Twitter, follow him), have decided to officially re-launch their show from the self-quarantined, socially distant, fully digital safety of the PLANET SCUM channel on TWITCH.... | ||||

| Wear a mask! The George Lucas Talk Show continues in its new digital livestream format, since its home for 6 years, NEW YORK CITY'S UPRIGHT CITIZENS BRIGADE THEATRE, is now an empty building in Hell's Kitchen filled with covid-infected rats.

Wear a mask! Separated by thousands of miles, retired filmmaker GEORGE LUCAS (notoriously dead-eyed character actor CONNOR RATLIFF) and his loyal talk show sidekick, WATTO (GRIFFIN NEWMAN, from Amazon's undermerchandized series, THE TICK), joined by their snack-obsessed, nap-loving producer PATRICK COTNOIR, have now officially re-launched their show from the self-quarantined, socially distant, fully digital safety of the PLANET SCUM channel on TWITCH. Aided at times by the public domain music of VLAD GLUSCHENKO (though the original theme music you are hearing right now is by RYAN MILLER from GUSTER) and a smattering of surprise visits from various FRIENDS, George And Watto seek to reinvent the talk show with a bold new format in which their past episodes are at least 60 seconds longer than MARTIN SCORSESE'S THE IRISHMAN. Will that trend continue tonight? Only one way to find out, tune into THE GEORGE LUCAS TALK SHOW.... | ||||

| The president is SICK! As if that wasn't bad enough, he now also has COVID-19 and most likely infected a bunch of other people. Meanwhile, THE GEORGE LUCAS TALK SHOW continues to offer you hours of weekly content safely livestreamed to your household devices every Sunday via the magic of PLANET SCUM. Unlike THE COMMISSION ON PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES, we have safety rules and they actually mean something. We don't just allow a bunch of infected people to wander into our show at the last minute spreading their disease. After years of in-person shows at NEW YORK CITY'S UPRIGHT CITIZENS BRIGADE THEATRE, retired filmmaker GEORGE LUCAS (notoriously dead-eyed character actor CONNOR RATLIFF) and his loyal talk show sidekick WATTO (GRIFFIN NEWMAN, loveable co-lead on Amazon's THE TICK) now do livestreams every week. It'll be a long time before it is safe to consider going back to the old way of doing things. Please wear a mask. And if someone makes fun of your mask for being "too big" or something, bear in mind that that person might be in the hospital breathing from an oxygen tank within 72 hours. Someone who always responsibly wears a mask (in addition to his big beard) producer PATRICK COTNOIR (aka PAT THE RAT aka PATATOUILLE aka QUACKTRICK LUCKDUCK aka PIGTRICK OINKOINK aka RANGETRICK ACTSMORE aka PASSWORD DOXXNOIR) is here to keep the show running smoothly in quarantine, and his druthers include you following him on twitter RIGHT NOW: @patrickcotnoir In other news, our show has now fallen out of the IMDb Top 40,000 and we would like to be in the Top 20,000. Everybody please email two friends and send them to our IMDb page to rate and review us (or even to just click on the page and see if that helps us?) Ok, that's enough of the crawl text. Does anyone even read these anymore? Let's get this show started.... | ||||

| The President is spreading a disease! Meanwhile, THE GEORGE LUCAS TALK SHOW continues to provide hours of responsible, law-abiding content safely livestreamed every Sunday on PLANET SCUM. It is possible to do stuff without actively making people sick. You just have to give a shit about other people, that's all.

| YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! THE GEORGE LUCAS TALK SHOW started out as a live show at the UPRIGHT CITIZENS BRIGADE THEATRE in NEW YORK CITY but then a fucking moron became president and long story short we now have to do these things as livestreams on PLANET SCUM. That's one of the reasons he lost the election this week. But I guess a lot of people must really like all this death and chaos because he still got 70 million votes. Every Sunday now, retired filmmaker GEORGE LUCAS (notoriously dead-eyed character actor CONNOR RATLIFF) and his loyal talk show sidekick WATTO (GRIFFIN NEWMAN, loveable co-lead on Amazon's THE TICK) are joined by producer PATRICK COTNOIR (aka Polltrick Votemore aka Lipstick Smoochmore aka Four Seasons Landscaping) and his druthers include you following him on twitter RIGHT NOW: @patrickcotnoir YUB NUB! | ||||

| Synopsis: It is a period of online comedy. THE GEORGE LUCAS TALK SHOW has established a new home base on PLANET SCUM.
Retired filmmaker GEORGE LUCAS (actor/comedian CONNOR RATLIFF, from the podcast DEAD EYES) and his sidekick WATTO (BLANK CHECK co-host GRIFFIN NEWMAN), after barely surviving their recent 30+ hour-long STAR WARS DAY watch-a-thon, now face a new mission proposed to them by the comedian CHRIS GETHARD. GEORGE and WATTO will watch all eighty episodes of the HBO Original Series, ARLI$, which ran for seven seasons from NINETEEN NINETY-SIX until TWO THOUSAND AND TWO.

| 3 | THX 1600: The Battle for Penndor (1600 Penn marathon) | 07/07/2020 |
| Synopsis: THE GILCHRISTS struggle with everyday problems -- with one big difference. Their head of household (BILL PULLMAN) is also the leader of THE FREE WORLD. Between entertaining FOREIGN DIGNITARIES, holding secret CABINET meetings and dealing with emergencies, the PRESIDENT'S family must also face everyday issues like a grown SON (JOSH GAD) moving in and becoming one of the administration's biggest liabilities. TEENAGERS who are too smart for their own good and a STEPMOTHER (JENNA ELFMAN) who struggles to connect with the children add to the mix. Despite their extraordinary setting, THE GILCHRISTS prove that, at the end of the day, people are just...people. Today, THE GEORGE LUCAS TALK SHOW will watch their entire saga unfold over the course of 13 episodes, originally broadcast by the NATIONAL BROADCASTING COMPANY and currently only available by purchasing them via AMAZON or on DVD HOME VIDEO. (SORRY) Retired filmmaker GEORGE LUCAS (CONNOR RATLIFF, 10 episodes of THE PRESIDENT SHOW) and his sidekick WATTO (GRIFFIN NEWMAN, 20 episodes of OUR CARTOON PRESIDENT) will spend the day enjoying these episodes while welcoming a series of mysterious SURPRISE GUESTS. Will one of them be JOSH GAD? Why not tweet at him now to join us? He loves reunions and has not officially agreed to join this one....but don't be annoying. This week, they are raising money for THE MUSEUM OF THE MOVING IMAGE in Astoria, Queens, in the hopes that THE GEORGE LUCAS TALK SHOW can help them out and also get our show's name on the back of one of their theater seats.... | ||
| 4 | The Big Alakens Marathon (Big Lake marathon)[42] | 08/16/2020 |
| Synopsis: It is the Summer of 2010. Scientists estimate that the BP DEEPWATER HORIZON OIL SPILL has leaked 5 million barrels of crude into the GULF COAST, making it the world's largest oil spill of its kind. Meanwhile, on COMEDY CENTRAL, a disaster of another kind was about to unfold. JON HEDER had vanished.... ....from the cast list of the GARY SANCHEZ PRODUCTIONS single-camera sitcom, BIG LAKE. In his absence, producers WILL FERRELL and ADAM McKAY sought out the talents of a relative unknown, UCB long-form improviser and CROSSBALLS writer CHRIS GETHARD to portray a young man named JOSH FRANKLIN who returns home in disgrace after causing the collapse of a major investment bank. Ten years later, THE GEORGE LUCAS TALK SHOW prepares to re-visit the first and (so far) only season of this single camera comedy with fresh eyes. Retired filmmaker GEORGE LUCAS (Big Lake laugh track audience member CONNOR RATLIFF) and his sidekick WATTO (Big Lake guest star GRIFFIN NEWMAN) will watch all 10 episodes in one day, slightly less time than it took for Comedy Central to burn them off during their original and only airing. They will be joined, as always, by their naptastic, snackeriffic producer PATRICK COTNOIR, who moved to New York City just days before the broadcast of Big Lake Episodes VII & VIII. He has booked an array of spectacular SPECIAL GUESTS (basically every single Big Lake-connected person who would agree to come on the show today). Throughout, they will be raising money for WATER.ORG, a global nonprofit organization which has empowered more than 29 million people with access to safe water or sanitation.... | ||

| 5 | Stu-D2 1138 on the Binary Sunset Sith (Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip marathon)[43] | 09/23/2020 - 09/24/2020 |
| Synopsis: The NATIONAL BROADCASTING SYSTEM's most valuable franchise was in big trouble when EXECUTIVE PRODUCER WES MANDELL took to the airwaves and told the audience to change the channel. Before long, DANNY TRIPP and MATT ALBIE were brought back into the fold to take the reigns on the show they had been fired from just four years earlier, the legendary Friday night live broadcast, STUDIO 60 ON THE SUNSET STRIP. Not for nothing, THE GEORGE LUCAS TALK SHOW now prepares to re-visit the first and (so far) only season of this hour-long DRAMA about SKETCH COMEDY. Retired filmmaker GEORGE LUCAS (former UCB HAROLD NIGHT performer CONNOR RATLIFF) and his sidekick WATTO (UCB MAUDE NIGHT alum GRIFFIN NEWMAN) will watch all 22 episodes in approximately 17 hours on this candy-ass, prissy, feckless, off-the-charts, greed-filled whorehouse of a twitch channel hell-bent on doing nothing that might challenge their audience. That device in your hand is a crack pipe! They will be joined, not for nothing, by snack-friendly, nap-centric producer PATRICK COTNOIR (aka QUACKTRICK LUCKDUCK) who worked harder than he has ever worked on anything in his whole entire life to put today's show together, and you know it! He has booked an array of spectacular SPECIAL GUESTS (basically as many STUDIO 60-connected people who were available & would agree to come on the show today). Not for nothing, they will be raising money for BROADWAY CARES/EQUITY FIGHTS AIDS, which helps men, women and children across the country and across the street receive lifesaving medications, health care, nutritious meals, counseling and emergency financial assistance. They're really quite something. What kind of day will it be? A long one.... Go to VTR! NOW!!! | ||

| 6 | Macklunkeys To(Jedi K)night (Muppets Tonight marathon)[44] | 10/19/2020 |
| Synopsis: When THE MUPPETS acquire their own television network, KMUP, and fail to program a crucial half-hour of their Friday night schedule, it falls to former SOLID FOAM bassist CLIFFORD to host a live variety/talk show while juggling a series of behind-the-scenes crises. Today, THE GEORGE LUCAS TALK SHOW will revisit the complete two season saga that was MUPPETS TONIGHT. Retired filmmaker GEORGE LUCAS (former UCB HAROLD NIGHT performer CONNOR RATLIFF) and his sidekick WATTO (UCB MAUDE NIGHT alum GRIFFIN NEWMAN) will watch all 22 episodes in approximately 11 hours on this most sensational, inspirational, celebrational, muppetational, candy-ass, prissy, feckless, off-the-charts, greed-filled whorehouse of a twitch channel hell-bent on doing nothing that might challenge their audience. That device in your hand is a crack pipe! They will be joined, as always, by nap-loving, snack-having producer PATRICK COTNOIR (aka SKIPPER aka SCOOTER) who really wants you to follow him on Twitter, please: @patrickcotnoir They will be raising money for FAIR FIGHT, an organization which promotes fair elections in America, encourages voter participation and educates voters about elections and their voting rights. And now a show for you, GUARANTEED brand new.... | ||

| 7 | LucasLynch (On The Air/ Radioland Murders marathon)[45] | 12/01/2020 |
| Synopsis: In the early 1980s, GEORGE LUCAS asked DAVID LYNCH to direct STAR WARS EPISODE VI: RETURN OF THE JEDI, and he said "no, thank you" and made DUNE instead. Roughly a decade later, both men created madcap comedies about the early days of TV & Radio. With his TWIN PEAKS partner MARK FROST, Lynch created the sitcom ON THE AIR, which aired on ABC for three weeks before BOB IGER canceled it. Two years later, George hired MEL SMITH to direct his long-gestating film comedy, RADIOLAND MURDERS, which bombed critically and commercially despite its pioneering use of digital special effects. Today, THE GEORGE LUCAS TALK SHOW will celebrate the links between these two visionary filmmakers by watching all seven episodes of On The Air back-to-back with Radioland Murders. Retired filmmaker GEORGE LUCAS (dead-eyed character actor CONNOR RATLIFF) and his talk show sidekick WATTO (co-lead on Amazon's THE TICK) will then explore the Lucas/Lynch bond further by watching other things, joined by producer PATRICK COTNOIR (aka SPECIAL AGENT PAT COOPNOIR aka MR C aka DOUGIE JONES) whose twitter is @patrickcotnoir. They will be joined for the next 9+ hours by a series of SPECIAL GUESTS, all the while raising money for THE DAVID LYNCH FOUNDATION.... | ||
| Guests: Dana Ashbrook, Angelo Badalamenti, Jonathan Bresman, Ian Buchanan, Scott Michael Campbell, Eric Edelstein, Robert Engels, Gary Grossman, Mel Johnson Jr., Brian Jay Jones, Gary Kroeger, Leighann Lord, Kimmy Robertson, Dave Szarejko, Gregory Van Horn | ||
| 8 | The George Lucas Holiday Special[46] | 12/22/2020 |
| Synopsis: This holiday is yours, but we all share with you the hope that this day brings us closer to freedom, and to harmony, and to peace. No matter how different we appear, we're all the same in our struggle against the powers of evil and darkness. I hope that this day will always be a day of joy in which we can reconfirm our dedication and our courage. And more than anything else, our love for one another. This is the promise of the Tree of Life. Today, retired filmmaker GEORGE LUCAS (dead-eyed character actor CONNOR RATLIFF) and his talk show sidekick, WATTO (GRIFFIN NEWMAN, co-lead on AMAZON'S THE TICK) are raising money for FEEDING AMERICA. If you know anyone who might want to donate even as little as one dollar, please steer them towards this fundraiser today!
