The article is much deeper than the Kaufman quip and I recommend reading it. The issue of temporal distance is that things change more quickly than we can respond to, let alone satirize. The first major battles involving the US military in Vietnam were in 1965 and the satire we remember comes from

Yes - all kinds of shared footage. In the past, even the Olympics would have been bought by Eurovision for onward sharing by member stations across Europe (Warner Bros Discovery has it these days, although they sub licence footage to many national PSBs around Europe as required by law). On Fri,

Eurovision is very expensive, although I'm never entirely sure why. Costs vary, but somewhere around $20m+ is probably fairly close. And from what I can tell, that cost is essentially borne by the host country - the host being the winner of the previous year's competition (the UK stepped in to

Back in 1975, a more rebellious Lorne Michaels and the like-minded Boomers who were creating "Saturday Night Live" had to be aware of George S. Kaufman's famous quip as they were preparing for what they were hoping as their new home for satire on television--49 years later, Kaufman may be the

In an interesting piece behind a paywall, the Ankler said that the very expensive to run Eurovision song contest has kept going due only to tradition and that if someone would propose it today, it would be turned down in the wink of an eye. Of course, it was a much different beast in 1958, with

The EBU did apparently take steps to ensure that any booing last night wasn't audible on the broadcast, and isn't above sweetening or inserting sounds of cheering to ensure that any booing doesn't go out on TV. Social media last night indicated that there was some booing, but I'm not sure if it
