Jersey's own
Long before Jerry Springer or Geraldo Rivera came along and changed the course of talk-TV,nobody couldn't do it more better and more intense than the king of shock-tv...Morton Downey,Jr. Morton came at his guests hard,and I do mean hard with tough questions amd tough talk with sometimes straightforward and unlimited results. I can never forget those red socks and that cigarette that he was famous for. His shows sometimes went to the limits,but it was always Downey to goal his guests to the utmost and so much more. I'm surprise that he doesn't have any videocassettes out based on his show(like "The Best of The Morton Downey,Jr. Show")because the guests that he had on there were so outrageous and all,you'll never know what may come out of Morton's mouth the next. One episode consisted an incident at Harlem's Apollo Theatre where all choas broke loose,and another was based in Florida where Downey fought some smart aleck guy for saying something very stupid and
he asked for it. He may have been a 'precursor',but he was the MAN! Kudos to Morton Downey,Jr. whereever you are!
NOTE: I wonder if it is still on New York's WOR-TV?
