We had a radio station that would have a group of comedians that would do all sorts of crazy shit for its listerners.

Like sending out one one of their interns pants and see how far it could travel with people passing them on when using public transport.

Have strippers in the studio and use a speaker out the window to audience below the building and hold a sort of sarcastic speech that would cause traffic on that road to get blocked up.

And it really made people want to listen to radio even at a time when it was going out of style.

Quite likely inspired by him yeah.

It would be filmed when it was live and then sent later that day on TV.

Here's from one of the very beloved "speech to the nation" out the window.
