Anytime with Bob Kushell was a five-minute talk show produced for Sony Pictures Television and their online streaming serviceCrackle.[1] The show consists of a single monologue joke, a field-piece/desk bit, and a celebrity interview. It is hosted by Emmy-nominated writer Bob Kushell, who co-created the series with Russell Arch, who also directed all of the episodes.[2] The show features a "house band" consisting of members from The Four Postmen, as well as writer Ron Rappaport.

Anytime with Bob Kushell was conceived after Kushell and Arch produced a popular video entitled The Strike, Your Marriage, and You and a behind-the-scenes "sequel" The Healing during the 2008 Writers Guild of America Strike.

Two "pilots" were produced in April 2008, and subsequently sold a 26 episode season that aired between December 2008 and June 2009.

The show was taped in Kushell's actual garage in Van Nuys, California.[3]
