I understand, he's done a lot of serious work, but I can't help thinking of him as a joke.

The hit was Willowbrook. Peaking so soon it was all downhill from then.

I concur.

i guess he was a regional reporter in new york who was pretty good once, but that does not excuse 30 years of tabloid nonsense and fox news crap.

my own list:


1. nazi skinhead breaks his nose with a flying chair.

2. Al Capone's vault being empty

3. Various non sensical right wing noise he spouts on FOX


and thats it.

oh wait forgot:

3. Divulges troop movement during wartime, yet is not prosecuted for it.

Me too. But Jerry Rivers pretty much ruined his rep as a hard hitting journalist with nonsense like Al Capone's vault and that stupid "news program of record" crap that started around the time the O.J. thing was happening.

Geraldo married Kurt Vonnegut's daughter back in the 70s when he was still a local NYC reporter going by the anglicized name of Jerry Rivers.
He apparently treated her like total shiat (running around, cheating, etc) according to Vonnegut. After the divorce Vonnegut would still only refer to him as "Jerry Rivers".
Geraldo claimed it was rascism on the old man's part.

So it goes, bro.
