The Meeting Of The Mouths

From the Ronald Reagan era, a classic Meeting Of The Mouths: in one corner, California TV talk show host Wally George; in the other, California then-radio talk show host Morton Downey, Jr. Both have since departed.

But do you notice two things:

1) This foreshadowed the Jerry Springer Show.
2) This foreshadowed the TV political talk shows where confrontation and yelling is considered a sign of intelligence.

So we were warned (but they are great showmen).
