40yrs ago today, the Denver Broncos played a home game at Mile High Stadium against the New England Patriots infront of 74,000 cheering fans. When the sexy Denver cheerleaders (know as the Pony Express) took the field, Robin Williams trotted out right there alongside them. As part of an episode for his hit sitcom 'Mork & Mindy' (which aired Nov 25th), Mork's character who lived in Boulder,CO had bungled his way onto the all-female squad after expressing interest in wanting to join them. Naturally and with his comic ease, much predictable hilarity ensued involving the gig. The necessary footage was performed during an actual live Sunday afternoon game with Williams wearing the real uniform that featured white knee-high boots, sequined mini skirt & halter top, white forearm-high gloves, and orange scarf. The Broncos won 45-10. Robin Williams holds the record for being the NFL's first-ever male cheerleader. He died by suicide on Aug 11, 2014.
