How Did They Ever Let This Air On TV?

In 1998 Saturday Night Live aired a cartoon titled “Conspiracy Theory Rock“ penned by “Triumph the Insult Comic Dog“ writer and comedian Robert Smigel as a parody of the educational Saturday morning “Schoolhouse Rock“ cartoons. The animated segment pointed out how corrupt our media system has become with just a few corporations controlling virtually all the news we see and hear. The cartoon aired just once and was subsequently dropped from all later re-airings on NBC. Jimmy and The Convo Couch host Craig Jardula discuss why a corporate media outlet like NBC wouldn’t want audiences to ever see this cartoon.
