The National Lampoon Radio Hour
Farewell Tribute to Richard Nixon
by
The National Lampoon Radio Hour brings the irreverent humor of the National Lampoon magazine to radio. Its comedy draws on satire, parody, and comic sketches, with a sharp, often provocative approach to American culture and public life.
The program uses a variety of voices and comic situations rather than a single narrator, creating a lively ensemble performance. Its humor can shift from absurdity to pointed social and political commentary, reflecting the magazine’s willingness to lampoon familiar institutions and public figures.
This installment is titled “Farewell Tribute to Richard Nixon,” placing its subject within the show’s satirical territory. The result is a distinctly countercultural style of radio comedy: energetic, irreverent, and aimed at listeners who enjoy humor that challenges its targets as readily as it entertains.
