Storyline

The conservative talk show host mixes his own monologue with actual news footage, viewer videos, occasional phone calls, and rarely, guests. Nick Africano gathers public information from the streets of New York, while "Our Man in Washington" gathers material from media figures and politicians. "Our Woman in Washington" was added to the show when the elderly reporter yelled at Clinton "everything's going down the drain! Is that true?" and graciously accepted the semi-regular role. Often members of the crew would get on stage and do their thing, frequently Debra Phillips, with whom Rush would carry on arguments about such topics as "When is a hug sexual harassment?" Limbaugh terminated the show in 1996 after deciding the half-hour format, and its burial at the wee hours of the night was no longer an effective medium.

Ahead of it's time

The Rush Limbaugh Show was a really funny topical political show, certainly ahead of it's time. Think Meet the Press meets the Daily Show

• and is actually funny! Was it slanted hard to the right? Of course,

but it was still fun to watch.

Also, the staff was fun and very nice as well. So was Rush, as I had the opportunity to go to the show and see a taping. And unlike other shows, there were no signs prompting the audience to laugh. As others have stated here, the show was never given a real chance as the time slot was usually sometime after midnight. Again this proves how ahead of it's time it was, without a doubt it would now be on prime time and crush O'Reilly, Hannity, and Jon Stewart.

Those voting 0 for the show clearly never saw it and just hate Limbaugh, and while I have lost almost all respect for him after the drug scandal, the show was funny.
