The title is overstated, but I hope someone can add some texture to this dry (IMO) article. I barely remember the guy, but I was pretty young during his prime. What were his politics? Obviously, he tried to balance his liberal beliefs against his career (cancelling an appearance by a lesbian group on his show), so he wasn't as aggressive as, say, the Smothers brothers. What kind of an impact did he have on late-night TV at the time? What do people say about his respectful interviews with people like Mohammad Ali?

I realize I'm asking for a lot, and it would take someone who knows very much about him to fill out the texture of the impact he had, if any, on TV and US culture. The "if any" is intended to be provocative LOL!)[[Special:Contributions/121.163.188.1|121.163.188.1]] ([[User talk:121.163.188.1|talk]]) 14:18, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

When does one become a USAF pilot and flight instructor after only four years of service? They sure won't train you for such a short commitment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.215.242.83 (talk) 05:31, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Innovations

Les Crane's talk show in the mid-1960s had two unique characteristics. First, his audience surrounded him in amphitheater seating. Second, he used a microphone that was shaped like a rifle. This was aimed at individuals in the audience so that their responses could be heard without being affected by surrounding noise.Lestrade 01:49, 12 January 2007 (UTC)Lestrade[reply]

Where's the beef?

The title is overstated, but I hope someone can add some texture to this dry (IMO) article. I barely remember the guy, but I was pretty young during his prime. What were his politics? Obviously, he tried to balance his liberal beliefs against his career (cancelling an appearance by a lesbian group on his show), so he wasn't as aggressive as, say, the Smothers brothers. What kind of an impact did he have on late-night TV at the time? What do people say about his respectful interviews with people like Mohammad Ali?
