Tampa Bay\u2019s original late-night experience is back with a new season of music, comedy, and conversation<\/p>\n
Monday nights are getting a little more entertaining. The stage lights are on, the band is ready and David Downing is bringing the Oh Yeah?! energy back to RHStv. <\/p>\n
Oh Yeah?! Show with David Downing will premiere Season 2 this Monday, Sept. 14, at 8 p.m. on RHStv, bringing new episodes, performances, unexpected moments and plenty of local personality to Tampa Bay audiences. <\/p>\n
Hosted by syndicated travel show host and longtime Tampa Bay resident David Downing, Oh Yeah?! puts a distinct Tampa Bay spin on the traditional late-night format. Produced by the multi-award-winning video production company, Red House Streaming, the series combines comedy, conversation, live music and audience interaction to create an experience that feels less like a traditional talk show and more like a night out. <\/p>\n
\u201cSeason 1 was us figuring out what the Oh Yeah Show?! was in front of a live audience,\u201d says Downing, who \u201csomehow ended up\u201d writing the theme song and all his own monologues. \u201cSeason 2 is us pretending we knew what we were doing all along, so we\u2019re like, \u2018Yeah, be cool \u2014 just play along and don\u2019t ruin this for us, y\u2019know?\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n
A new addition this fall is a companion piece, \u201cOh Yeah?! One More Thing,\u201d a hosted outtake reel featuring bloopers, exclusive footage and behind-the-scenes moments. Airing the week after each episode debuts, the segment gives viewers a second look at the fun on and off camera, with the host adding running commentary, playful asides and lines he \u201conly thought of when he sobered up after the taping.\u201d <\/p>\n
Season 2 was filmed live in front of a studio audience at FloridaRAMA in St. Petersburg\u2019s Warehouse Arts District. The immersive art destination provides a colorful new backdrop for the show following Season 1\u2019s run filmed at the historic Palladium Theater, which has closed for year-long renovation. <\/p>\n
The show\u2019s house band, The Oh Yeah-Yeahs \u2014 known locally as The Black Honkeys \u2014 brings a nine-piece funk sound and live musical energy to the stage. <\/p>\n
Season 1 featured 14 episodes and established Oh Yeah?! as one of RHStv\u2019s signature original productions. The season welcomed guests including Florida gubernatorial candidate David Jolly, The Brady Bunch actor Robbie Rist, chart-topping musician Alex Harris and hometown Hollywood actor Eugenie Bondourant, helping position Oh Yeah?! as a destination for memorable conversations, performances and personalities that run the gamut from local hero to international stars. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe knew from Season 1 that there was something here,\u201d said Kurt Heitmann, CEO of CP Communications, Red House Streaming and RHStv. \u201cTampa Bay has the talent and it has the audience. What it hasn\u2019t always had is a place for that work to live and grow, and that\u2019s a big part of what RHStv is here to do. Oh Yeah?! plays to a real regional audience, and it gives national audiences a look at the personalities and the music that make this place what it is. David\u2019s show is exactly what we built the network to carry.\u201d <\/p>\n
Season 2 continues that momentum with conversations, performances, comedy and the people and personality that make Tampa Bay unique. <\/p>\n
