Bizarre

Bizarre is a variety series hosted by John Byner, who performed along with an ensemble cast in a wide range of sketches that ranged from satirical looks at the topics of the day to politically incorrect sketches. This series also introduced the character Super Dave Osborne, a stuntman who performed a wide range of stunts for the audience that ended up going horribly wrong. There were two versions of the series filmed: an "uncensored" version that aired on Showtime with female frontal nudity and foul language and a censored version for CTV in Canada, which had the foul language bleeped out and the nude scenes reshot from a different angle or more clothing.
