Geraldo Rivera: Nose
built 230 days ago
In 1987, Rivera began producing and hosting the daytime talk show Geraldo, which ran for 11 years. The show featured controversial guests and theatricality, which led to Newsweek's characterization of his show as "Trash TV". One of the early shows was titled "Men in Lace Panties and the Women Who Love Them". His nose was broken in a well-publicized brawl during a 1988 show, involving white power skinheads, anti-racist skinheads, black activists, and Jewish activists.

Rivera's career took a different turn in the late 1980s. After being fired from ABC over a disagreement about a report, he started Geraldo, a daytime talk show, in 1987. The show was criticized for its controversial, sometimes tasteless topics and for the not infrequent scuffles between guests. Rivera himself got caught in the crossfire during one show and got his nose broken. The show ended in 1998.

''These racist thugs are like roaches who scurry in the light of exposure,'' Mr. Rivera said after the brawl. As Mr. Rivera scuffled with one of the white supremacists, another hit him in the shoulder with a chair and then smashed his nose with a roundhouse punch from behind.
