Just a quick correction: I believe that Christopher Guest is the only ex-National Lampooner involved in this film. The other two main contrib- utors, David Lander and Harry Shearer, worked together previously in The Credibility Gap (a radio/record comedy group), and separately as "Lenny" (in Laverne and Shirley) and on Saturday Night Live, respectively. ... uw-june!eli

I seem to remember reading that Joey (Tony?) Hendra (a former Lampoon editor) was somehow involved in the film. For those who remember the trend-setting parody "Not the New York Times" of about six years back, Hendra appeared as Pope John Paul John Paul II in the photographs. Wayne Citrin (ucbvax!citrin)
