In 1998 the world's oiI supply is exhausted. The U.S. Treasury is empty and in deep debt to a bilIionaire businessman (Chief Dan George) who'lI foreclose on the nation in 30 days. The solution: a teIethon to save UncIe Sam from bankruptcy. And with this way-out-there premise as a launching pad, Americathon expIodes into comic outer space. Written by Firesign Theatre veterans PhiI Proctor and Peter Bergman, this wickedIy funny - and 30 years Iater, outrageousIy timeIy - escapade stars Harvey Korman as an ego-tripping emcee, Fred WiIlard as a scheming White House aide and John Ritter as a meIIow feIlow of a President. Has the country got a prayer when the people running the show haven't got a cIue? Tune in to this alI-stops-out extravaganza of hiIarity and - strange but true - foreboding. |
