The Groove Tube

We kick off You've Never September, this year focusing on sketch comedy films, with one of the earliest examples of where sketch comedy would be going in the following decades including with one of the genres big names, The Groove Tube. Noise Junkies' Father Malone, 'Night Mr Walter's HP, and Mondo Heather's Heather Drain stop by to talk about Chevy Chase, the film's lack of laughs, and how it influenced SNL.Starring Chevy Chase, Ken Shapiro, and Richard Belzer, the film ping pongs around eighteen disparate sketchs lampooning television, commercials, politicians, and everything in between. It's a wild jaunt through mid-'70s television that sets the stage for so many things to come.
