The Helmetcam Show is a television series created by Gary Gray. The series ran for four years on Playboy TV from 1996 to 2000. A total of 80 episodes were produced during the show’s run, ending with the final live broadcast on July 19, 2000.
As a live call-in adult-oriented talk show, each episode featured host Gary Gray as The Helmetcam Man, interviewing adult film stars of the day. Guests included Juli Ashton, Jenna Jameson, Devinn Lane, Tera Patrick, Chasey Lain, and Kevin Elston.
The show also included clips of other programming airing on Playboy TV, and traditionally featured show-specific guests. Live phone calls into the show from viewers, often intoxicated, were another component of the show.
As Helmetcam Man, Gary Gray traveled the globe shooting remote roll-in segments for the live show and the other series he hosted on Playboy TV, Stripsearch. International locations included Switzerland, Fiji, Jamaica, and Canada, while domestic segments were shot in Manhattan, the Las Vegas Strip, South Beach, and Boston. The remote segments featured Helmetcam exploring such events and locales as Hedonism Resorts in Jamaica, the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas, interviewing drunks in SoHo, exploring Waikiki with a pack of local strippers, flirting in Kona with the Vivid Girls,
Let me entertain you
Rang through my head
I was a reckless child
And I did what he said
People came
From miles around
To hear the sound
That was tearing up the town
(Maybe you're an icon)
(Baby you're a hard on)
Or maybe you're a god
(Baby you're an icon)
(Maybe you're a hard on)
Or maybe you're a dog
The next batter up
Was a man
A scary man
With the golden hands
He brought his axe
To bury the tracks
No mortal man
Could follow his act
(Maybe you're an icon)
(Baby you're a hard on)
Or maybe you're god
You can't refrain
From going insane
It's what you want to do
(Maybe you're an icon)
(Baby you're a hard on)
Or maybe you're a god
(Maybe you're an icon)
(Baby you're a hard on)
Maybe you're god
Now that rock & roll's in the palm of our hands
We take it to the people every chance that we can
We are the party that never ends
Live by these words until we meet again
You can't refrain
From going insane
It's what you want to do
(Maybe you're an icon)
(Baby you're a hard on)
Or maybe you're a god
(Maybe you're an icon)
(Baby you're a hard on)
Or maybe you're god
(Maybe you're an icon)
(Baby you're a hard on)
Or maybe you're a god
(Maybe you're an icon)
(Baby you're a hard on)
Or maybe you're god
