Interviews were done pretty straightforward, with a script used in some cases for guests, as Adam West referred to Space Ghost by his real name of Tad, and " Table Read" confirming that Conan O'Brien was following a script. Martin Croker stepped in to take the role of Zorak, instead of Don Messick.

The second test pilot had Gary Owens reprise his role, although when it came to the series proper, George Lowe had been cast instead, due to Owens typically sounding too old and budgetary concerns.

Despite this, the new version did not receive that many viewings and was canceled in 2008.Īfter the final full episode commissioned by Adult Swim, they irregularly dust off the Coast to Coast set for interviews whenever they full the need to promote something, such as the Tom+Ghost summer 2005 block, which featured bumpers featuring Space Ghost talk to Tom and the Mayor, the titular characters of Tom Goes to the Mayor, an Esurance ad with its since retired animated spokesperson, Erin Esurance, one with a MacDonald's customer, Avatar star Zoe Saldana in 2009, Steve Nash in 2010 for Vitamin Water, Tommy Wiseau in 2011 for The Room (due to Adult Swim airing it), and Will Ferrell and Zach Galifiankis in 2012 for The Campaign. Presumably because of each episode only being only a few minutes long, the humor is more on point than when the series began in 1994. In 2006, a mini-revival occurred after Space Ghost conducted "live" interviews with guests at the E3 gaming conference, which led to GameTap, a Turner-owned website, ordering more episodes that featured Space Ghost interviewing other gaming experts and executives, along with the occasional musician). The focus of Williams Street was clearly more on the quality of their other new series than Coast to Coast. During this time, a total of twelve episodes were made spanning three weak seasons, since the number of episodes for one season before Adult Swim was around twelve. The series seemingly ended in 1999, but was brought back in 2001 for the launch of the then-new Adult Swim, although setbacks caused new episodes of Coast to Coast to come first. Space Ghost Coast to Coast found its name after Lazzo and the team were searching for a name for a marathon of old episodes. CNN provided a press junket interview with Denzel Washington for Malcolm X, Merrill used a press packaged interview of Denzel Washington for Malcolm X, with his own booming voice as Space Ghost. He tasked Merrill with piecing together a pilot with pre-existing footage. But one afternoon on Lazzo's television played a 60s Space Ghost episode, which combined with the ongoing late night talk show war between David Letterman and Jay Leno reaching an all-time high, gave Lazzo the idea of turning Space Ghost into a talk show host himself. In the spring of 1993, the Senior Vice President of Cartoon Network, Mike Lazzo, with his fellow programmers Khaki Jones and Andy Merill originally planned on editing together the Wacky Races episodes together for one long country race. Space Ghost Coast to Coast had two of its own personal spin-offs in Cartoon Planet and The Brak Show, while also creating a back-door pilot to Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Space Ghost, who's animated in cheap recycled footage (as are all the characters from his era), interviews live-action celebrities via a monitor.
Coast to Coast has Space Ghost retired from saving the galaxy and now hosts a surreal and absurd talk show broadcasting from Ghost Planet, joined by director and producer Moltar and bandleader Zorak, who despite being rehabilitated villains, still make his job a nightmare, although Space Ghost himself isn't always on top form either as he is always rude and mostly asks irreverent questions to his guests. Space Ghost upheld the law as a space cop with armbands that allowed him to fly and turn invisible, hence his name. The series is a spin-off of the more kid-friendly Hanna-Barbera character Space Ghost from a series of self-titled Space Ghost segments from the 1960s and 1980s. There have also been several specials from 1994 to 2012.
It ran from 1994 to 2008, airing 105 episodes. After its formative years, it was fitted into Cartoon Network's late-night programming block, Adult Swim, and then for a brief time GameTap, before returning to Adult Swim. Space Ghost Coast to Coast is an American adult animated comedy talk show produced by Williams Street (formerly Ghost Planet Industries) for Cartoon Network as their first original series.
