EDtv is a 1999 American satirical comedy film directed by Ron Howard. An adaptation of the 1994 Quebecois film Louis 19, King of the Airwaves (Louis 19, le roi des ondes), it stars Matthew McConaughey, Jenna Elfman, Woody Harrelson, Ellen DeGeneres, Martin Landau, Rob Reiner, Sally Kirkland, Elizabeth Hurley, Clint Howard, and Dennis Hopper.
The movie received mixed-to-positive reviews, with some criticizing its similarity to The Truman Show (1998), and was a box office failure, grossing $35.2 million against an $80 million production budget.
