unusual facts about The National Lampoon Radio Hour


The National Lampoon Radio Hour

Two examples of the sometimes shocking humor of the Radio Hour are sketches which featured game shows entitled "Catch it and Keep it" (prizes - some quite lethal - are dropped from a great height to the crowd below), and "Land a Million" (in which a housewife is left alone in an airborne Boeing 747 containing $1 million in cash and a ton of TNT and must answer questions about literature in order to receive tips on how to land the plane safely).

Most of the tracks were by comedians who were not very well known, but the track Hollywood Gay Alliance (which originally aired on the National Lampoon Radio Hour in 1974) featured John Belushi, Chevy Chase, and Christopher Guest.
