LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) While CBS continues its search for a host of "The Late Late Show," another member of the Viacom family is moving forward with its own late-night yakfest.
TV Land and sardonic, cat-loving alien Gordon Shumway -- better known as Alf -- have struck a deal for six more episodes of "Alf's Hit Talk Show," which debuted as a special in July. Ratings were good enough to warrant more episodes.

"We are thrilled to be able to move forward to series on 'Alf's Hit Talk Show,'" says Sal Maniaci, vice president of TV Land and Nick at Nite. "We are excited that we are able to entertain our audience with Alf's wit and humor. This is definitely an alternative to many of today's standard late night programs."

Long-time "Tonight Show" sidekick Ed McMahon will serve as Alf's co-host for the half-hour show, which debuts at 11 p.m. ET Friday, Nov. 5. Merv Griffin, who also knows from talk shows, and "Joan of Arcadia" star Joe Mantegna will be Alf's first guests.
Tom Green, Bryan Cranston ("Malcolm in the Middle"), Doris Roberts ("Everybody Loves Raymond") and musician Leon Redbone are set to appear in future episodes.

Paul Fusco, who's the voice of Alf, and Burt Dubrow ("The New Tom Green Show") are executive producing the show.

Yea! I love Alf..

yucky

I was wondering about this, cuz I had seen commercials advertising the return of Alf. I didn't get a chance to see the special in July though, and I don't they re-aired it anytime after that.
