Apologies for any viruses.....

Easter is on April Fool's day this year, so here are some weird "religious" video things.

The old '80s satire show On The Television (1989-91, Nick.) did a parody of the late-great TV-AM-Shortwave radio preacher Dr. Eugene Scott. Scott is still being heard on SW thanks to his ex-stripper, now preacher widow Melissa.

The actual Gene Scott, raking in the cash while his house band plays. Segment from Werner Herzog's brilliant 1981 documentary God's Angry Man (film is on YouTube.) By that point he was no longer wearing weird hats and he had shaved off his beard (as in the late 1970s), probably because the '80s televangelists had conservative hairstyles and no facial hair.

No real comment, but this is what Baptist church singing had come to at the end of the second Bush adminstration. (Singer: James Canupp.)

Joe Bob Briggs (John Bloom) both as a stand-alone compilation of insane TV preachers and as a collection of "Godstuff" segments from old Daily Show episodes. The screaming guy in the tux above is Jonathan Bell, who left a hairdressing career in Canada to hit the streets of Dallas, Texas in 1993 to preach the Gospel on street corners and Public Access TV. The sordid details of how that went to hell are here.

Finally, the filthy-mouthed "Reverend X" aka "The Spirit of Truth", a late-'90s Los Angeles Public Access TV preacher on his aptly-titled The One Man Show.The preacher/angry man in a turtleneck is Don Vincent who was billed as "Vincent Stewart." As with a lot of the videos on this post, VCR tapes of Vincent were passed around by tape traders, until Internet video became a thing.
