Before you check out Almost Live! (Almost an Exhibit), catch this almost guide to Almost Live!
Revisit some of the most beloved and lasting sketches from the show in our Prologue Theater.
The sketch comedy show Almost Live! aired on KING 5 from 1984 to 1999. It poked fun at regional stereotypes, gave us memorable characters and sketches, and launched local celebrities and national careers. It was a renowned success at a time when Seattle itself rose to national prominence. As grunge was dominating the charts and companies like Microsoft and Starbucks were expanding, Almost Live! was there to joke about it.
