“The National Lampoon Radio Hour is an institution,” said Evan Shapiro, National Lampoon president. “These inmates do it proud.”
National Lampoon started as a comedy magazine in 1970 and shifted to movies, such as the Vacation franchise and Van Wilder.
National Lampoon Radio Hour is executive produced by Forever Dog’s Joe Cilio, Alex Ramsey and Brett Boham, and Evan Shapiro. Cole Escola is head writer and executive producer. Brandon Tamburri and Tracy Soren direct the video series.
