AMERICAN GLADIATORS
(1989-1996) SYN
AMERICAN RADIATORS
MAD #315, December 1992
w: Dick DeBartolo & Andrew J. Schwartzberg
a: Al Jaffee
Every week Mike Adamle and Larry Csonka hosted a competition with professional and amateur athletes in various events. Al Jaffee didn't normally do TV and movie parodies, but he may have been chosen because there's a “Snappy Answer” in this. Also his trademark puking. They didn't parody any particular athletes or events here.
Often they'd show a clip of the athlete before becoming a Gladiator, then interview them after the event. One of the events involved battling each other inside round metal cages.
They don't pretend the show's not an excuse to show T & A. Finally, the Gladiators are given a challenge even they can't handle.
Al Jaffee recently retired at 99 and is currently the country's oldest living cartoonist. Let's hope he makes it to 100.
