Details.
Wiki.
The O Show, also known as steve.oedekerk.com, is a 1997 surreal comedy variety TV special put together for NBC by O Entertainment founder Steve Oedekerk. This was the first prime time network special to feature and extensive use of graphical sets and computer animation.
The show features segments such as 'Glass Booth Guy', in which passersby are harassed by a man in an unbreakable glass booth at a gas station; 'Plane Stalker', in which a man finds himself being followed by a full-size airliner (in similar fashion as Monty Python's "The Killer Cars"), 'Fat Back Jack', in which a morbidly obese man sings of his need for a woman to 'help him find his shoes', and 'Oedebattle', a Mortal Kombat style video game where an arrogant warrior mercilessly defeats hopelessly outmatched opponents. The O Show also featured appearances by Tom Wilson.
The show made heavy use of computer animation combined with live action footage, a relatively novel concept in the world of television at that time.
This film is known to be Robert Hutchinson's (the actor who played Billy) only film so far.
