“Bananas” is a weekly comedy television show that airs in 70% of the U.S. on broadcast, cable or satellite networks. It is also available on DVD and CD and is providing clean comedy with an impact.

The show, which recently received the Midwest Regional Emmy Award for Best Entertainment program as well as the National Religious Broadcasters’ Best Program Award 2004, is a potent prescription to promote moral, Christian values, to the entire family, utilizing the life-enhancing “cure” of laughter. Bananas offers outstanding routines from nationally acclaimed comics Taylor Mason, Jeff Allen, Mike Williams, Kenn Kington and more. It is amazing to witness the crossover potential of Bananas and the impact that clean Christian Comedy is having on the general market place.

“The general public has always loved clean comedy. Bill Cosby & Americans Funniest Home Videos went directly to #1 because it allowed people to laugh without holding up their guard. That is what Bananas does. We are comedians, but we also happen to have strong personal faith. The bottom line is that it is funny in the purest form”, says Kenn Kington a world-renowned comedian, highly sought after for his clean comedy abilities, and a staple to the clean comedy show Bananas. Kington prides himself on comedy without any of the side effects (no cringing, no covering children’s ears/eyes, and no embarrassing moments) just good clean fun for the entire family to love. Kenn also states, “Bananas is different from a lot of Christian projects out there. So many times ‘Christian’ is equated with inferior; Guardian Studios has remedied this with getting national acclaimed comedians who happen to be Christians. This result is a growing crossover. The driving force behind this is to find common ground. Simply put, people love to laugh and not worry about the content.”

The overwhelmingly positive response to Bananas, from both critics and viewers, proves that Bananas is an exciting and unique program that can be savoured by the entire family. Bananas focus on clean comedy has provided a platform for families to bond. The entire family can enjoy the show without concern about content. Families can rely on Bananas for clean, quality shows.

Steve Howard, Executive Producer of “Bananas” and Vice President at Guardian Studios, says, “We knew that it would not be enough to just create a clean show, the validation is the fact that Bananas makes people laugh.” Co-Executive Producer and President of Guardian, Richard Schilg, adds, “As far as we know, we’re offering the only clean comedy show out there. Think of Bob Hope, Red Skelton and Jackie Gleason. A whole era has gone by and our families have grown up without access to clean comedy.”

Eight Bananas titles have been released into local Christian bookstores over the past 6 months, with four more coming this fall. To find a store near you visit CMCStoreFinder.com.
