share The only tv preacher i ever liked was Dr. Gene Scott. There used to be a UHF tv station that had him on like 24 hours a day, and he would have all these wind up toy monkeys that played little drums, he was just utterly batshit and would go on for hours about the kookiest little tangents. He would fill up chalkboards with scribbles. But he was a legit scholar and he'd go back to the original Greek or Aramaic versions of different bible passages to contrast with the KJV and other translations. He did not do much moralizing like typical evangelists, he was really into languages and philosophy, but also just crazy inside jokes and showmanship. He was very critical of other tv preachers who had all those scandals (Swaggart, Bakker, etc).
In college, we used to come home late from a party or going out and we'd turn on his show at like 3 in the morning for comedy and stoned lulz. RIP Dr Gene
Werner Herzog made a documentary about him. 'God's Angry Man'
Looks like it's on youtube in several parts, I don't know if it's the full movie

I of course had to check Wikipedia, and he sounds like a character comparable with jamesboland's list. I will look for 'God's Angry Man' by Werner Herzog.
Billy Graham and his Billy Graham Crusades (1947–2005) set the standard. Even though his son Franklin is trying, he's doing so in his father's huge shadow.
