Apparently, he and other comedians and porn stars will be doing MST3K-style commentary of old porno films. Okay, then. > **[The Official Dave's Old Porn Website!

Dave Attell is on [today’s Adam Carolla podcast](http://www.adamcarolla.com/ACPBlog/) and they talk about it a fair bit (Adam is the other comedian for the first one, apparently). It sounds like it could be interesting but I doubt I’d ever actually get around to watching it. ---

Wow, that has to be the most depressing job in video - the person assigned to obscure all the hard dicks and insertions. “Hi honey, how was your day?” “Same old, same old. Another day of playing ‘Hide The Salami’.” ---

I was only half paying attention at that time in the podcast listed above, but Attell did mention that while they were free to talk about anything they did have some limits on how they talked about (it was, I believe, in relation to some anal sex discussion). ---

> [@Sir\_T-Cups](#): > > Since it’s on Showtime I would doubt it’s censored at all Unless it’s changed a **lot** , Showtime is still limited to “Very Hard R” - lotsa female nudity, limp male nudity and sex shot from angles that do not show erect penis, or penis contacting anything. So you can show a bobbing head, or moving ass cheeks, but no lips on dicks or penis in pussy. ---

Apparently he’s going to have the porn actresses on the show with him. ---

I love Dave Attell, but I’ll be skipping the first episode because Whitney Cummings is the guest and no matter how loud she yells, she doesn’t get any funnier. I set my TiVo to record the second episode, though. ---

> [@Valerieblaise](#): > > I love Dave Attell, but I’ll be skipping the first episode because Whitney Cummings is the guest and no matter how loud she yells, she doesn’t get any funnier. Yeah, she seems to be of the Joan Rivers school of comedy “It doesn’t matter what you say, as long as you yell it”.
