[edit] The Show
Chris Meyers' Magical Rainbow Hour is a talk and variety show, hosted by Chris Meyers that aired for one season in Japan. After it's first run, it was pulled from its slot because it did not feature enough Anime, which the Japanese are obsessed with. The show was written in Japanese, translated to English for the stars to read off of teleprompters, and consequently dubbed over in Japanese for air. This resulted in an experience often equated with PCP, LSD, and Dimmetapp, paradoxically much lauded by its critics.
The show's first guests were actors famous in Japan, such as David Hasselhoff, Rob Stern, and Chuck Norris. For some reason, the show degenerated over its year-long run, with the last shows guests consisting of Chris Meyers' Left Hand, The Color Blue, and the starting line-up of the 1923 Brooklyn Dodgers. Conjecture suggests that this was the result of a combination between poor ventilation and the glue used to construct the set.
[edit] The Controversy
Some people say that the show was not really cancelled because of a lack of Anime, but because Chris Meyers never really existed. A lot of people point out that this doesn't make sense, but, nevertheless, no tapes of the show are known to exist. It is possible that the entire show and Chris Meyers were a shared delusion caused by the alignment of the Moon and Algol, but experts agree that this is bullshit. It is more likely, however, that the Japanese government confiscated the tapes to avoid embarrassment.
