Watch 1990s clips of Dave Chappelle, Margaret Cho and Lewis Black from A&E's "Caroline's Comedy Hour"

My friends over at Caroline's have been unearthing some old clips from their 1990s series on A&E, Caroline's Comedy Hour, and the treasure chest already includes footage of Dave Chappelle, Margaret Cho and Lewis Black at a younger age. Remember when comedy boomed before and busted? Remember when audience members still dressed up to be on TV, too?

Before you see any of the people I mentioned in the headline, here's something to make your head spin. It's the opening to a 1990 episode, hosted by Colin Quinn, and featuring his writing staff: Jon Stewart, Susie Essman, Dave Attell and Louis CK. Yeah. So here's that!

 

Here is Dave Chappelle talking about the time his brother talked him into experiencing the inside of a drying machine.

 

If you're missing Margaret Cho since she left Dancing with the Stars, just think about how she felt about being on TV back in 1992. Much different time. So fewer tattoos. Roll it!

 

Lewis Black, with a lot of curly hair, ranting about the elder George Bush and Dan Quayle? Sure. They've got that on camera, too. Back in 1992. Roll it!

That first one with Colin and Louis (and Jon and Dave) was insane. It's crazy to see those guys so long ago.

Keep up the good job.
