A Futile and Stupid Gesture

National Lampoon's rise to prominence in the 1970s and '80s spawned a vast media empire, with Douglas Kenney, a brilliant yet troubled figure, playing a key role in its leadership.

Douglas Kenney and Henry Beard leveraged their success in the Harvard Lampoon to create the National Lampoon, a magazine that revolutionized American comedy with its outrageous humor and irreverent style. However, Kenney's insecurities, ego, and reckless behavior eventually consumed him, leading to the alienation of those who once supported and admired him.
