Joe Pyne (December 22, 1924 – March 23, 1970) was an American radio and television talk show host, who pioneered the confrontational style in which the host advocates a viewpoint and cultivates controversy by arguing with his guests and audience members. Pyne's brusque and abrasive performances were influential on later practitioners of the genre such as Rush Limbaugh, Morton Downey Jr., Bob Grant, and Michael Savage.
