		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Screenwriter Kenney (Animal House; Caddyshack), co-founder of National Lampoon, was one of the gifted gagsters who ignited the 1970s revolution in American humor. Journalist Karp (Playboy; Premiere) delivers an iridescent, polychromatic portrait of the humorist, framed within an amusing anecdotal history of National Lampoon. To chart the magazine&#8217;s rise and fall, Karp conducted 150 interviews, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From Booklist
&#8220;When Doug Kenney, Henry Beard, and a handful of other Harvard Lampoonalums launched National Lampoon, one of their dreams was to create a long-lived American humor magazine to match Britain&#8217;s venerable Punch. But for a few ill-advised business and creative decisions, they might have succeeded. Instead NL first transformed early-1970s anti-authoritarianism into lively, intelligent [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Animal House was groundbreaking because it was one of the first, if not the first, feature film to reflect the comedic sensibilities of the National Lampoon/Saturday Night Live generation,” says film critic Richard Roeper, “It was edgier, sexier and much more offensive (in a good way) than simple slapstick or the joke-driven comedy of someone [...]]]></description>

		<guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.dougkenney.com/on-national-lampoon/penn-jillette/</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[In Greenfield, Massachusetts, Penn Jillette had actually engaged in a screaming match with a classmate over whether National Lampoon was just trying to get laughs or had content, with Jillette arguing the latter. “Teachers had to come in,” Jillette recalls, “that fight really escalated. Nothing [in the Lampoon] ever felt even slightly watered down.”
Today, Jillette [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“The Lampoon was absolutely fearless about their targets, viciously mocking not only the Establishment (an easy and popular target) but also the lame-o vacuities of the Flower Power people. Those guys broke all kinds of rules, and that changed everything &#8212; you saw the effects not just in print, but on TV and the movies. [...]]]></description>
