But why did that have to be on the History Channel? Why can't the networks have the nuts to do something like that??
It was on the actual network. I believe the History Channel ran an extra special later that evening. That was an excellent Jennings special.

There was a day when that might have happened.
However, today, the networks are fighting mightily
only for young adults and teenagers.
Their nuts only extend to those folks, most of whom
consider anyone interested in 1963 as un-cool.
The networks present few entertainment and information options: to go beyond fart and belch jokes, breast jokes, cockroach milkshakes, butt-shows, vomit jokes, true crime and kidnapping shows is something the networks don't have the courage to do.
Even Bill "Tinfoil Hats and shrill rants" Moyers has to stay on PBS.
