The Downer Channel premiered on NBC on July 24, 2001. Through a fast-paced mix of comedy sketches and interviews with real people, "The Downer Channel" takes a humorous, half-hour look at the lighter side of life's everyday hassles. Boasting an all-star group of executive producers, including Steve Martin, Robert Morton, Steve O'Donnell, Joan Stein, and the team of Marcy Carsey, Tom Werner and Caryn Mandabach, the new series offers viewers a new take on relatable subjects. The common thread throughout all the segments in "The Downer Channel" is the cast of four, who not only handle the sketch work but the reality segments as well. "The Downer Channel" is produced by the Martin/Stein Company in association with Carsey-Werner-Mandabach. Michael Halperin is the creator. Tim Hamilton directs
