I saw Morton died the other day, and right now I'm watching a rerun of "Saturday Night Live" where he showed up on "Church Chat". I forgot what old-school Downey was like.
The first time I saw anything about this show was when Chris Elliot played him on Letterman back when Dave was still on NBC (and still funny). I thought it had to be a gag, then I was watching WOR-9 out of Secacus, NJ (famous for the first Howard Stern TV shows) and saw it.
I remember he had like a punch bowl on the set that he put his smokes out in, and every show had an almost-obligatory shouting match between either Morty and his guest, Morty's guests, or the audience and Morty's guests. Toward the end, it got kind of sad - left-handed wheelchair-bound vegan lesbian terrorists debating about voodoo economics.
It's too bad his star faded - he was one of the more genuine ones.
