I'll defer to Donz on this, but off the top of my head, I know Warren
Zevon got the whole show on his final appearance in 2002.

I beg to differ. I was surprised he was so tough during both the
monologue and the panel. He really hammered McCain and wouldn't let go
-- to the point where McCain looked extremely uncomfortable. While
some of the questions -- like the Liddy stuff -- were irrelevant
(there are far richer lines of inquiry with McCain), but I wish "real"
reporters were as probing with the four candidates as a gap-toothed
funnyman was.
