1960's talk show host Joe Pyne was known for his caustic and confrontational style (even the Tucker Carlson's of today can barely hold a candle to the man). Pyne would invite guests on simply to insult them personally and ridicule their ideas.
Some people claimed that Pyne's acid personal style was partially caused by a leg amputation that had embittered him to life..
One of Pyne's most famous guests was a young Frank Zappa who would prove quite memorable
One evening rock musician Frank Zappa was a guest on the show this was at a time in the sixties when very long hair on men was still unusual and controversial. As soon as Zappa was introduced and seated, the following exchange occurred:
Pyne: I guess your long hair makes you a girl. . Zappa: I guess your wooden leg makes you a table
