	The Comical: Interview with Dave Attell
		Dave: I fought the struggle, of course, of being unfunny in a business where you have to be funny.
		Dave: You won't get on network television unless you have clean material; so no matter whether you've been doing this for 50 years or five minutes, you've got to have the clean jokes to get on Letterman or something like that.
		Dave: It's just a basic cable show, no genius thing, but it was good for me to have people see me as a comic and to come down to see me do shows.

	Insomniac with Dave Attell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Insomniac with Dave Attell is a television show on Comedy Central hosted by comedian Dave Attell.
		In the typical Insomniac, Attell goes through a particular city at night, starting out at a comedy club and then going to various bars, landmarks, clubs, etc. Along the way he cracks jokes with passersby and takes pictures with a disposable camera.
		The show always ends when the sun comes up, Dave bids his camera crew and the audience farewell (with the admonishment "Get some sleep!"), and looks for a place to crash.

		Dave Attell is a great person to watch do strange things and meet strange people.
		It's a shame it has to be on so late (because every aspect of the show is for adults, obviously), and has to be on Sundays instead of Fridays or Saturdays.
		Congrats to Dave for finding a show that has some true entertainment- even if it has the educational value of an adult film.

	Salon Directory
		Attell may self-identify as a "loser" and "a bitter, loner-type drunken guy," but "Insomniac With Dave Attell," which begins its third season on Thursday, Dec. 5, at 10:30 p.m.
		Where other television efforts failed to capitalize on his talents (though widely respected in the world of stand-up, Attell is an admittedly subpar actor), "Insomniac" focuses on what he does best: drinking, smoking, chatting with strangers and staying up all night in strange cities across America.
		Attell is a 37-year-old, bald, big-nosed, tubby guy who smokes too much and drinks too much and seems most comfortable in a bar.

	Dave Attell puts his 'Insomniac' act to bed - PittsburghLIVE.com
		The New York born comic, 39, wrote and hosted four seasons of "Insomniac With Dave Attell," the dive-bar bomber Comedy Central show that took viewers through the after-hours haunts of cities across America and beyond.
		Attell was a Rabelaisian midnight rambler who prowled bars, strip clubs, diners and the graveyards shifts of sewage treatment plants and a Tastykake factory.
		An underrated wit, Attell says he improvised most of the quips and banter on "Insomniac." Asked about the recent basket-brawl between the Indiana Pacers and Detroit Pistons, who charged into the stands to retaliate against taunting fans, he dunks a three pointer.

		ATTELL: Yeah, it is kind of a citizen on patrol.
