The National Lampoon Radio Hour
Traditional Christmas Show
by
The National Lampoon Radio Hour brings the irreverent humor of National Lampoon to radio, with a cast of performers presenting comic sketches and satirical material. Its comedy draws on the magazine’s sharp, often outrageous approach to American life and popular culture.
The program is an ensemble production rather than a single-host monologue, using character performances and changing comic situations to create a lively variety-show feel. This edition is identified as a traditional Christmas show, placing its humor in a seasonal setting.
The result is a distinctly countercultural take on holiday entertainment: playful, provocative, and willing to turn familiar conventions into comic targets. Listeners can expect sketch-based satire delivered with the energetic, irreverent spirit associated with National Lampoon.
