You may not know this, but stand-up comedians and their vile, foul, filthy rhetoric are a perfect match for Saturday mornings.... well, maybe not. But it never kept the networks from trying!
This was a hard one to research and I am quite certain that I missed some so please let me know in the comments.
Roseanne Barr - The Rosey and Buddy Show (the net is surprisingly void of the predecessor to this show - LITTLE ROSIE)
Louie Anderson - Life With Louie
John Candy - Camp Candy
Howie Mandell - Bobbie's World
Martin Short - The Completely Mental Misadventures of Ed Grimley
Robin Williams - Mork and Mindy/Laverne and Shirely/The Fonz
Richard Pryor - Pryor's Place (not a cartoon but he was one of the foulest stand-up comedians!)
Bill Cosby - Fat Albert
Paul Ruebens (Pee-Wee) - Pee Wee's Playhouse
I can't believe they put Rosanne in a cartoon, but I'm not at all surprised that the grotesque egomaniac envisioned her toon self as some sort of distaff Dennis The Menace that terrorized the rest of the world with her very presence...when, in fact, the toon was forgotten like a fart in a hurricane.
