44 years ago today, November 11, 1979, the Broncos hosted the New England Patriots in front of 74,000 fans at Mile High Stadium. When the Denver cheerleaders, who were known as the Pony Express, took the field, Robin Williams as Mork was right there with them.
As part of an episode, Mork, who lived in Boulder, Colorado bungled his way into the cheering gig with predictable hilarity ensuing. In order to get the necessary footage, the actor performed as a cheerleader during an actual live game.
He wore the cheerleader uniform including the white knee-high cowboy boots, sequined mini skirt and top, orange scarf, and gloves. Robin Williams holds the record for being the first male cheerleader in the NFL.
By the way, the Broncos won the game 45 to 10.
