Lou Silverstone

Lou Silverstone

Lou Silverstone is a comedy writer who was one of "The Usual Gang of Idiots" at "MAD Magazine" from 1962 to 1990.

At "MAD", he was primarily, though by no means exclusively, a writer of television and movie parodies. His first-ever contribution was "Bananaz," a parody of "Bonanza". It was not until 1968 that he began contributing other kinds of articles, many of which were otherwise related to television and movies.

Following his association at "MAD", Silverstone moved to its competitor "Cracked", where he served several years as an editor and writer.
