I watched this when this happened live. This was hilarious to see then, and it's funny to see now.

Morton Downey, Jr. was a close friend of Wally George. He went on to his own national TV talk show in 1987 and he did appeared in Monsters episode, "A Face for Radio" with Atlantic recording artist Laura Branigan.

"Don't warn me punk!" Love it.

Talk about passing the torch... Funny to see Mort on the receiving end for once.

I remember this on youtube a few years ago as well. When I couldn't find it on youtube recently, I uploaded it. This was clip is before the TV show, from 1983 or 1984 when Downey was a radio host in Sacramento. He started The Morton Downey Jr. Show in the New York- New Jersey area in 1987.

Shortly after this Morton Downey Jr. got fired from his gig in Sacramento. His replacement---Rush Limbaugh.

FACT: Mr. Downey Jr. & Mr. George, while "on camera/radio/in media" always seemed to give a "we 'hate' each other" perception, truth is, they were actually LONG-TIME friends dating back to the early 1960's. A gentleman whom I know by the name of Walter Von Kristen(sp?) (who has too, since passed) was an assistant/friend to Mr. Downey from way back when. He told me several years ago that both DEEPLY RESPECTED one another and often "hung out". Nevertheless, both were MASTERS @ their crafts!!

Thanks for posting. I remember they had this on here a few years ago but it was removed. Just out of curiousity, is this from before or after The Morton Downey, Jr. Show?

You just KNOW these guys were friends. I bet they walked backstage, shook hands, and had a good laugh at how they "fleeced the rubes". If you view Mort and Wally as WWE managers that keep kayfabe, you learn to appreciate them a lot more.

Both were entertaining to say the least. R.I.P.

Not to my knowledge.

This segment was shown in the recent Morton Downey Jr. documentary, "Evocateur". The clips looked to be from the original episode, rather than a highlights one, because they featured the original teaser "Some moron named Morton challenges Wally... NEXT!". If so, it must have been recorded by someone who knew Wally quite well way back when. Because KDOC doesn't have the original master tape of the episode anymore. They destroyed it, along with many of the others.

@VahanNisanian

***** KDOC was a relatively small station back then. They did not have the budget to archive all of Wally's shows. It is a known a fact that most of them were destroyed. The OCWeekly did an article about it several years ago, titled "Wally George Archives: Outta Here?" . And Jeff Tolcher, who was a frequent guest on this show, said the following in the OCWeekly's article on Wally George two months ago: "One of the sad things is that KDOC did not archive all of Wally's shows because they were such a small station. They just recorded over the tapes." With that said, it is a shame that they did destroy many of them. Because this was a very funny, never boring show.

where is part 2?

Lol what a bunch of clowns XD

I think I just gave myself brain damage watching this...

It's up. I takes a little time for a new video to show up in a youtube search. If all else fails, you should be able to find it on my channel page.

The more things change the more they stay the same.

IMHO, Morton Downey, Jr. was regrettably a mystery guest on Steampipe Alley, WWOR-TV's sunday morning childrens' show! He would've been featured on a "Guest Day" segment on the 2nd reboot of the Mickey Mouse Club, but then, it never happened, because I didn't think it did!

Notice at 5:29 that the security guard misses his cue and comes out on stage too early.

By the way conservatives talk of Reagan now I'm surprised that when he was President he was open to conservative criticisms. Nowadays you'd be called a liberal if you had something negative to say about The Gipper.

But what is so bad about Kissinger though? The guy didn't do bad, and he told the truth 100% of the time. Everytime he said something would happen it did. He probably knew 9/11 was gonna happen.

They're all in on the circus

Classic ! Lol

George was a class act. Wish we had more of this.

The battle of combat tv wally and morton

Wally George is tong in cheek stuff, Morton Downy was realistic stuff. Both shows were great though.

Wallyites: Now, HERE we have the perfect demonstration of cut-rate Combat-talk TV as contrasted with that of high-class, meaning Morton Downey's. (You see, Mr. Downey could actually THINK, rather than just memorize boilerplate shtick to chatter-back while straitening his papers impotently, or pounding his desk frantically.) Though as funny as could ever-be, George's productions are cardboard, as compared to that luxurious paneling that was Downey's. And, as always, it's a king's amusement to watch all those O.C. crypto-gays (closeted) out there, ever-signaling their half-straightness, comprising Wally's peanut gallery. Downey -- the KING of Combat-talk TV . . . "The Mouth That ROARED!!"

Was it really necessary for the lousy cops to tackle the guy? Fuck!

LOL, it seems little about right wing talk shows have changed, but what's most ridiculous about this “debate” is that there's barely a hint of debating anything and just a whole lot of childish name-calling with nothing more to it :D Spectacular Admittedly I'm kinda double-posting this, as I wrote the above comment on the Part 2 comments as well.

Because Wallford was a cowardly faker, hiding behind his phalanx of guards. Morton was of Irish stock, and so a natural fighter. If given the reason and chance, he would have decked the fraud's rear, through George's own pasteboard wall. (Like most posturing-to-the-contrary males, George had his early "history" too.)
