NSTV... The Best of Sam Cassel

Sam Cassel acted, wrote and edited Northwestern Student Television from 1997-2001, finally taking the reigns of the show as Director in 2000-2001. Having lost many seniors the year before, the 2000-2001 show was in serious need of strong leadership, which Sam provided, creating the highest production-value episode to date and launching the show into its strongest years ever.

Arguably NSTV's most popular sketch of all time, over 50,000 people have watched Sam co-star in this risque classic.

Sam's vision turned this from funny on paper into a sketch that worked.
