I want you Meppers to know that this video was incredibly difficult to find. HBO has been on a censorship rampage in trying to shield Buck from the humiliation of having his first talk show railroaded by the longtime Howard Stern co-host.
This was amazing to see live. You could tell that Lange was at least half in the bag, and that Buck had neither the charm, nor skill to stop him. To be fair, Buck was a particularly useless talk show host. He isn’t witty, engaging, or even particularly interesting. He has a job because he inherited his father’s pipes. That’s about it. I don’t think we’ll be seeing him in Bob Costas’ seat again.
