Tush (also known as The Bill Tush Show) is an American late-night television sketch comedy and variety show developed by Bill Tush and directed by R. T. Williams.[1] The show premiered on Atlanta superstation WTBS in the United States on December 28, 1980, and ran until June 6, 1981 when WTBS canceled the series due to the show being too difficult to develop on a weekly basis according to Robert Wussler, the station's executive vice president at the time. The station managed to air reruns of the series throughout the remainder portion of the early-1980s. Throughout its 22-episode run, a number of the stars including Jan Hooks, Terry Turner, and Bonnie Turner went on to work for Saturday Night Live. The regular cast was Larry Larson, Ron Kirk, Iris Little-Roberts (now Little-Thomas), Eddie Lee, Allison Biggers, Rob Cleveland, Bob Gillies, Ted Henning, Yetta Levitt.[2]
