High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! "Jose Chung`s From Outer Space" is the 20th episode of the third season of the science fiction television series The X-Files. The episode first aired in the United States on April 12, 1996, on FOX. It was written by Darin Morgan and directed by Rob Bowman. The episode is a stand alone episode, like most episodes of The X-Files, and follows the normal Monster-of-the-Week pattern of the show. However, more humor than is typical for the series is injected via manipulation of point of view, leading to multiple re-tellings of certain events with varying degrees of unreliable narrators. "Jose Chung`s From Outer Space" earned a Nielsen household rating of 10.5, being watched by 16.08 million people in its initial broadcast.
