Fact
1
Wally first gained notoriety as the co-host of former Los Angeles Mayor Sam Yorty's show. Yorty was defeated for re-election in 1973 and, shortly thereafter, he began a once-a-week talk show on Channel 13 KCOP-TV in Los Angeles. Supposedly, Wally approached Mayor Sam (Yorty's nickname) about hosting a talk show. The show ran for about 5-6 years. Then, in 1982, Wally began his Hot Seat with Wally George (1983) show.

First gained notoriety as the host of an extreme right-wing TV talk show in Orange County, California, who would have assorted "liberals, perverts and left-wing lunatics" on his show and insult them, berate them and then throw them off. He gained even more notoriety when it became known that many of the "guests" on his show were actors who were hired by George and his staff to play the assorted "loonies" (Rhonda Shear, before she became host of Up All Night (1989), was one of them). In one well-known incident, a young woman, who owned an agency that sent strippers to deliver telegrams, appeared on his show; he hurled insults and abuse at her, called her a "prostitute" and a "tramp" and threw her off the show. It later turned out that he had asked her for a date before the show started and she turned him down.
