The Caribou Show

The Caribou Show is a locally produced sketch comedy television show, which was recorded in the Sioux Falls, South Dakota, USA, area. The half-hour show was broadcast weekly on Sunday mornings at 12:30 am on KDLT. The program's original title was Captain Caribou. Initially, the program started out with a spoof of the long running Captain Kangaroo program, featuring Chuck Brennan as Captain Caribou. Much of the show's comedy was often based on South Dakota topics, such as the abortion ban, gun control, and home schooling. A number of sketches appeared on the show regularly, including Booby Boobenheimer, Harry Back, and Ag East of Salem. Other sketches were parodies of well known television programs, such as Antiques Roadshow. The show also lampooned local political figures, including Dave Munson and Vernon Brown. The Caribou Show was written and directed by the show's creator, Todd Magnuson. Much of the show was actually shot in Todd Magnuson's home. The cast included Terri Lawrenz, John "Barnie" Barnes, Chuck Brennan, Amanda Bumann, Dan Eisenhauer, Todd Magnuson, Bart Naasz, T-Roy Nelson, Scott Pearson, and Brian "Ring a Ding" Dingler. Model Terri Lawrenz is the most recent addition to the cast. The show is owned and copyrighted by Caribou Productions.
