Say What? Karaoke

Say What? Karaoke elevated the art of drunkenly howling Alanis Morissette’s “You Learn” to full-on cinematic spectacle: Host Dave Holmes (and kooky cohost Laura Lifshitz who, like Holmes, was a runner-up on MTV’s Wanna Be a VJ contest) welcomed singing amateurs who performed radio singles, trembled at the mercy of a harsh panel of judges, and often realized they didn't know the words to classics such as “Like a Virgin.” There've been several karaoke-themed shows on TV since Say What? Karaoke (“Don’t Forget the Lyrics” is probably the most popular), but this was much funner, cooler, and sillier than any descendant. A highpoint: Boy Meets World‘s Danielle Fishel coming on and slaying Busta Rhymes‘ “Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See.”
