HAPPY HOUR (1999)
A Celebrity Competition/Variety Show Hosted By Ahmet & Dweezil Zappa
I used to watch this on the USA television network. Does anyone else remember it?
Happy Hour was later canceled due to
copyright infringement with the name.

Even more misguided [than The Man Show] is Happy Hour, a frat-boy romp hosted by brothers Dweezil and Ahmet Zappa that's part variety show, part game show, and all creep-out. Dweezil may have inherited father Frank's adeptness as a guitar player, but all Ahmet got was Dad's snarky arrogance — perpetually leering and bellicose, Ahmet is currently the most annoying person on TV, and no, I haven't forgotten chef Emeril Lagasse.
As ''10 very naughty girls'' wiggle in scanty costumes, a celebrity panel performs karaoke and answers trivia questions. The celeb quotient is low, with the likes of Adam West, former Baywatcher Alexandra Paul, and ''entertainment reporter'' Katie Wagner [another of Dweezil's celebrity girlfriends - jd], as well as the occasional athlete, like uncomfortable-looking soccer star Cobi Jones, all trying to grin enthusiastically as Ahmet sings ''Goldfinger.''
Happy Hour encourages guests to get into the frat-house spirit — Paul, in a minidress, bent to touch her ankles and told the Zappas she wasn't wearing underwear, which, given their view, they presumably didn't need to be told. In doing so, the show, instead of titillating, sends the viewer into despair at such pandering.
