Exit 57 (TV Series 1995–1996) cast and crew credits, including actors, actresses, directors, writers and more.

The opening sequence from the short-lived  Exit 57  said quite a bit about the show's acute juxtapositions and unsettling tone: its five-member cast carried off in a serial killer's car while the radio played "If I Knew You Were Coming, I'd've Baked a Cake." The ensemble of Second City pals — Stephen Colbert, Amy Sedaris, Jodi Lennon, Mitch Rouse and Paul Dinello — indulged a love of Americana and small, oddball communities by setting its two seasons of sketches in fictional town Quad City. "We try to amuse ourselves," said Colbert to the Chicago Sun-Times , and they did so with absurd, idiosyncratic visions. Salmon farms sparked melodrama, rogue dentists gave unwanted cleanings to passersby in the park, and it all seemed perfectly normal.
