R. Rated was a late 90s American comedy variety TV show executive produced and hosted by comic R. O'Donnell.

It aired on Fridays at midnight on WFLD Fox 32, Chicago, and featured sketch comedy troupes, theater companies, musicians, stand-up comics and other independent film and video makers.

The Annoyance Theater Productions starred actors Rachel Dratch (Saturday Night Live), Mick Napier (The Second City), and Stephnie Weir (MADtv).

Former Second City and Saturday Night Live alumni Tim Kazurinsky offered a Willy Laszlo directed short about the most unusual home invader while O'Donnell appeared in an array of impromptu "man on the street interviews" and monologues.

O'Donnell requested Fox keep the show out of prime time so that his contributors like Mick Napier of the Annoyance Theatre, could have greater late-night artistic freedom without black-bar and sound bleep censorship.
