Also from Cirque's "Cirque Reinvente", Mr. Lacombe's better known "Mad Conductor".
I wish Cirque would create a unit that continued to work in this lower-key vein instead of every new show being presented in the bombastic, overwrought, overthought cliche that they've become.
The TV trailer of the infamous 1979 movie "Mr.Mike's Mondo Video", a creation of original SNL writer Michael O'Donaghue.
O'Donoghue and John Belushi in the "Wolverines" sketch, penned by O'Donoghue, the very first sketch on the very first episode of Saturday Night Live October 11, 1975.
Please click the title of this post to find out more about Mr. O'Donoghue, who passed away 13 years ago today and whose influence on contemporary satirical comedy is immeasurable.
