Joe Pyne every Saturday night If you could stay awake for it. Better than Morton Downey Jr And Rush And Michael Savage, late 60s

Joe Pyne was a radio and television talk show host, a chain smoking original, who pioneered the confrontational style cultivates controversy by arguing with his guests and audience members. His style was influential on later practitioners of the genre, such as Rush Limbaugh, Morton Downey Jr., Bob Grant, and Michael Savage. His show aired on various channels late on Saturday night from 1965 to 1968.  There is very little archival record of anything he used to do which is sad. He died of lung cancer at the age of 45.
