Late 80s talk show scene was wild. Phil Donahue, Sally Jesse, Morton, Geraldo, and a shyt load of others I know I'm forgetting. If I remember Donahue and Sally Jesse didn't really get in on the fukkery until towards the end of their runs. It seemed like Geraldo was having racists on his show damn near every day. I remember him getting his nose broke by a flying chair when they had the kkk on

"You'z a punk fakkit, now come on and do something."

Al Sharpton to a KKK member circa '87 on the Morton Downey Jr. show.

I used to watch it with my Moms. It was wild.

You never see a show like that in this day and age.
