The National Lampoon Radio Hour

Summer Reruns

Show 5

English · Humor, Satire, Radio

The National Lampoon Radio Hour brings the irreverent humor of the National Lampoon magazine to radio. Its comedy is presented through sketches and satirical material, with a youthful, countercultural sensibility that pokes fun at familiar institutions and conventions.

The program uses a cast of performers rather than a single narrator, shifting among comic scenes and voices. Its radio format lets the humor move quickly between situations, characters, and styles, while the “Summer Reruns” label identifies this as a repeat broadcast.

The result is an energetic, sometimes provocative comedy show rooted in the sharp-edged satire associated with National Lampoon. Listeners can expect a variety of comic material and a distinctly irreverent tone rather than a continuous dramatic story.
