HBO was less than 10 years old when this first aired. I was a senior in high school when it started and used it as a guide to the world in my 20s.
I thought Wendie Jo Sperber had been in the cast, but I must be wrong about that.
Standouts I recall: Brooke Shields standing next to then VP George Bush and hearing her thoughts as they rambled --"Mrs. Bush. Mrs. George Bush. Mrs. Brooke Bush" and Spiro Agnew seated on an airplane next to pres Nixon (who was eating) and again, "hearing" his thoughts saying "oh my god i can't believe he didn't get me anything to eat ... I'm so hungry!"
But one of THE best skits was Nancy Reagan, taking a tumble in the bleachers of a tennis match -- then the camera pans down to someone under the bleachers sawing off one of her heels as she fell.
NNTN was so so SO funny. Oh the birth of cable. You were such an exciting time!
