I guess I always figured doing the Super Mario Bros. Super Show is the kind of job you'd like to forget about, but apparently at least one guy doesn't mind. Captain Lou Albano played Mario in the live action segments as well as providing the voice of Mario in the cartoon, and he was on hand at a FYE in New Jersey to sign copies of the show which has just been released on a four disc DVD. Go Nintendo has pictures and a report from the scene.

Lou sounds like a really nice guy. And after the Go Nintendo writer mentioned he worked on a Nintendo website, he managed to score an interview with Albano that will appear in an upcoming podcast. So be on the lookout for that, buy several copies of the Mario DVD so they'll have the money to put lots of work into the upcoming Captain N DVDs, and in the meantime hit the link for more about the event and more photos.
