Tonight with Donny Stixx

"It's at times like this I'm inspired by The Stupendous Santini. He toured the Mid-West during the 1930s, entertaining farmers affected by the Dust Bowl. No one would have remembered him were it not for the fact that during his most famous trick -- sword swallowing -- he accidentally punctured a lung and died on the spot. He became a legend."
