The program featured numerous filmed comedy segments, many of which parodied pop culture trends from the late 1980s to early 1990s. Despite receiving mostly positive reviews, Fox canceled the series after only 13 episodes, due to low ratings.
Unlike most sketch comedy programs, The Ben Stiller Show did not use a studio audience, and was the first Fox sketch comedy program not to use a laugh track. The semi spinoff, The Andy Dick Show, used the same format. After cancellation, the series won the 1993 Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing in a Variety or Music Program.
