Top Cat Live!,[1] also known as by its on-screen title of Top Cat, is an American-Swedish CGI-animated comedy talk show created by Chris Walker. It was produced by Swedish company Trash TV for Turner Broadcasting System for what was expected to air as interstitial shorts, in a similar vein to Cartoon Network's other series The Moxy Show and Space Ghost Coast to Coast. While it was supposed to be released in 1995 or 1996 in the United States, it did get released in Italy in the possibly latter year.

It is a spin-off from the 1960s Top Cat TV series, produced by Hanna-Barbera. Top Cat has managed to leave the confines of Hoagy's Alley, and got himself a job interviewing celebrities in his own talk show.
