On History channel now and Showtime later tonight. Anyone watching? It's a great story and I didn't realize the Animal House connection to The National Lampoon, John Landis, PJ O'Rourke, John Hughes, and all of the other talent from the magazine.

Fascinating show. I had no idea how popular and influential National Lampoon was at one time. The connection between the Groundlings and SNL was also interesting.

I had a copy of National Lampoon's High School Yearbook. Priceless if I could find it.

One of the pictures in the book showed a student laying on the track field with a javelin in his back. Just your everyday events in high school.

It was a good show.
I knew that most of these guys knew each other due to their style of comedy and drug use, but I had know idea that SNL had basically "stolen" their talent away.

I also didn't know about Hughes connection.
