"If you think prime time sitcoms and soaps are a snooze, and the movies bore you to tears, then watch the man who will excite you and incite you: Morton Downey Jr.! Weeknights at 9 p.m. on Channel 9!" Those are the word used in the original WWOR-TV spots to promote The Morton Downey Jr. Show back in 1987. Morton Downey Jr., an acerbic, chain-smoking commentator who previously worked in radio, was approached by a New Jersey television station to create his own show. What followed was a nightly talk show where Downey would interview known pundits, politicians, and plenty of wacky guests, all while being openly hostile to them. Hailed as the progenitor of 'trash television,' The Morton Downey Jr. Show aired from 1987 to 1989.
