Hellion Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 :devil This I think was probably one of the best talk shows back in the day. It was halarious when he would expose the truth about trash people in America, and just p Piss them off, too bad he died, because the show was awsome! sorry about the misspelling on the title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wounds Within Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 That show was like the first Jerry Springer. It was only on for 2 years and I was only 8 years old when it first aired so I had to sneak it in when my folks weren't looking. He would do or say anything to get the guests on his show in a fight. Morton Downey Jr was cooler than the talk show hosts of today because he got involved in the fights rather than run like Jerry Springer. For an 8 year old that was some good TV that I had never seen before. I also recall him being at WrestleMania 5 on Piper's Pit with Brother Love and of course Piper. Love him or hate him he did defend the working class Americans who were sick and tired of what people in Washington were doing with their tax money and rights. His show ended when Morton Downey Jr claimed skinheads beat him in a public bathroom. They shaved his head and painted a swastica on it then it was later found that he did it to himself. How crazy is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fierce Critter Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Definitely early Springer. I watched it as a kid. Why? I don't know. I had no idea what all the fuss was about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
