Connections
Featured in Superstar: The Life and Times of Andy Warhol (1990)

We used to watch this show every night in college. We would laugh it up.

Mort would always act "over the top" and it was funny.

Stuff like this was never meant to be taken seriously, and this wasn't. It was just for entertainment only.

I feel bad that Mort died too young and screwed up by faking the skin head attack.

If you can find find re-runs of this very low budget show check it out. It might not translate well into todays TV cookie cutter slots, but it was good stuff.
