Nude Hippo: Your Chicago Show

Yes, my friends I have actually appeared on a program called "Nude Hippo: Your Chicago Show". In fact, the first time I was ever on the program it was called "The Big, Fat, Nude Hippo Show", which is CLEARLY a better name, right? The other one is just silly!

I've done some comedy & juggling segments and have even made a few appearances as a reporter for the program. I've only seen a few of the pieces I recorded. They are a Chicago cable show (meaning: available to Chicago city proper folks and a bit beyond) and I'm not in their broadcast area nor on their cable system. So I've no idea what kind of work I've ever done for them.

I do know, that in the segments I've seen, most of the really funny stuff was edited out. This may just be my opinion, but I always hope to have my own program one day so I can make sure the best stuff hits the airways, regardless of whom I'll offend. Things get cut for time constraints, for content, for all sorts of reasons so I don't ever get bent out of shape about it.

Thanks to YouTube, both you and I can see at least one segment I did for Nude Hippo. Perhaps if they see enough folks clicking on the link or commenting, they'll feel compelled to upload even more Andy Martello segments. Perhaps I could even be a (semi) regular on the show...Just like all these years. ;)




Anyway, enjoy my trip to the Riddell Helmet factory in Chicago.
