The setup

Frank Sinatra moderates a music-industry panel where every topic becomes an excuse to put his guests in their place.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

Frank Sinatra leads a studio panel with Sinéad O'Connor, Billy Idol, Luther Campbell, Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gormé. Questions about censorship, MTV and recording scandals quickly give way to his insults and unsolicited career advice. Steve and Eydie agree with everything he says, while the younger guests struggle to finish a thought. When Billy finally challenges Sinatra, the moderator delegates the confrontation and keeps the show moving.

Notes from the archive.

The panel format parodies The McLaughlin Group.

The rabbit hole continues

One more couldn’t hurt.
