On this day, February 11, 1986, Boy George made a surprise guest appearance on The A-Team in Season 4, Episode 16, titled "Cowboy George". The episode featured the Culture Club frontman in an unexpected role, blending 80s pop culture with the action-packed world of Hannibal, B.A., Face, and Murdock.
In "Cowboy George", a booking mix-up lands Boy George and his band at a rough country-western bar instead of their intended gig. Meanwhile, the A-Team gets caught up in a scheme involving corrupt town leaders, leading to plenty of over-the-top action and, of course, a musical performance from Boy George himself. Despite being known for his androgynous style and new wave pop sound, Boy George won over the crowd with a rendition of "Karma Chameleon", turning an otherwise skeptical audience into fans.
The episode remains one of the most bizarre and memorable A-Team moments, showcasing the unexpected crossover between action television and 80s music icons.
Fun fact: Mr. T was reportedly not thrilled about Boy George’s guest appearance, but the two later made peace, and Boy George humorously referenced the experience in interviews.
