The Turner Doomsday Video is the internal title of an apocalypticism video intended to be broadcast by CNN at the end of the world. The video, created at the direction of CNN founder Ted Turner before the network’s 1980 launch, is a performance of the Christian hymn “Nearer, My God, To Thee” performed by multiple members of the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine bands.

It was never seen by the public until it was leaked in 2015 by a former intern.

    I thought Bilbo and Slartibartfast were good in it, come to think of it I enjoyed the whole cast, even the added bits with the snotty religion guy

      Of the cast, I only disliked one of them and it had nothing to do with his performance. Yasim as Ford was such a good surprise choice and Rockwell was absolutely born to play Zaphod. The cast was stellar imo, but the project (mos) def had other issues…
