Mr. Mike's Mondo Video
Mr. Mike's Mondo Video is the wildly demented comedy from the mind of National Lampoon's and Saturday Night Live's notoriously funny writer/performer Michael O'Donoghue. Originally conceived in 1979 as a television special slotted for one of SNL's hiatuses, it was summarily rejected by NBC as too outrageous for broadcast.
