Andy Dick's 'House Arrest' Talk Show Debuts on Atom.com

by Dan Reilly on March 11, 2009 at 10:42 AM


Comedian Andy Dick is great at making people uncomfortable, intentionally or not, and that's what he'll be doing on his new online show, 'House Arrest with Andy Dick.'

The Atom.com "talk show" makes light of Dick's legal trouble, which has him wearing an alcohol-monitoring ankle bracelet after pleading guilty to misdemeanor drug and battery charges. The episodes are alleged to be taped at his house, where's he's confined by law, and feature celebrity friends stopping by for short interviews that are punctuated by a standard talk show band and awkward interruptions. The first two episodes feature Mo Collins of 'MadTV' and 'Cheaters' host Joey Greco, while this week's guests include Gren Grunberg, Jennifer Coolidge, and Dr. Drew Pinsky, the host of VH1's 'Sober House,' on which Dick appears.

If you can stand Dick, the two five-minute episodes are good for a few laughs, as they play on the uncomfortable behavior for which he's so well known. If you're already sick of his antics, this show will not change your mind. One thing we know is that Atom is certainly taking a risk with it's new tagline, "Andy Dick's Comedy Enabler."
