Talk Show Hosts Who Completely Lost It On Camera

Armstrong Williams may not have the mainstream name recognition of Jerry Springer or Dr. Phil McGraw, but in conservative and religious circles, he's basically a rockstar. According to his bio for the Premiere Speakers Bureau, William's lifelong mission on radio, TV, and the internet has been "the restoration of morality in today's society," particularly regarding topics such as "work ethic, personal responsibility, welfare reform," and "affirmative action."

Given his posturing as a moral guidepost of sorts, it was all the more jarring when Williams laughed himself to tears at the singing performance of a caller, "Danny," on his show, America's Voice. It's unclear exactly when this segment originally aired, but it was eventually featured on Dick Clark's 1980s series TV's Bloopers & Practical Jokes, which was basically the original Tosh.0. 

Moved to hysteria after Danny's woeful warbling, Williams left his co-host on damage control. "Armstrong's caught up in the spirit," the co-host gamely offered through his own suppressed chuckles. He then promised to send Danny a t-shirt.

"Oh, I loved his singing," a wet-eyed Williams claimed after finally regaining his composure. Hmm, who knew lying was also a key component to restoring societal morality?
