Irv the talking head

Irv Turner is the host of The Irv Turner Show, a cable opinion show. News isn’t news until Irv says so, and Buck and Jeremy are expected to edit the video to match.

He prefers politics to government, because government is oversight hearings and appropriations requests. His show gave 22 minutes to Deb‘s flubbed pledge and Ludwig tripping over a dog.

#22. Government vs. politics

February 16, 2010

JEREMY: Irv, I can't DO this. Editing clips of this Congresswoman, painting her as something she's NOT... I mean, it's just, there's actual, REAL stuff going on in D.C. right now!

JEREMY: Why don't we report on GOVERNMENT, instead of just... POLITICS?
IRV: GOVERNMENT is about oversight hearings and appropriations requests.

IRV: POLITICS is about lying and fucking. It's NOT a hard call.

IRV: Now get back to work. I need video of her making love to a pack of Taliban labradors.

#36. Great footage

April 6, 2010

JEREMY: He screams, then lunges, trips on her dog and falls before he hits her.
IRV: Well, this is great footage.

IRV: But cut out the CONTEXT. Just show him tripping...
JEREMY: But that's the STORY! "Crazy Tea Partier attacks congresswoman"!

IRV: Nonono... the STORY is: FAT GUY trips on CUTE DOG. Ooo, in fact, let's do a retrospective on fat guys falling throughout history.

JEREMY: But... this is a POLITICAL show.
IRV: Fine... POLITICAL fat guys... But work in Jack Black.

#38. Piece on the air

April 13, 2010

BUCK: Well, you got your piece on the air.
JEREMY: My piece was about violence between Congress and anti-government protestors, Buck.

JEREMY: Irv's doing 22 minutes on a Congresswoman flubbing a meaningless speech and a protestor tripping on a dog.

JEREMY: I thought I worked for a political opinion show... Turns out I work for Washington's Funniest Home Videos.

JEREMY: (sigh) I wish I could hit IRV in the crotch with a bat...
BUCK: Wouldn't work. He's smooth down there.
