I didn’t care for him or his humor, but his Filthy Words routine is a foundational item for what I would suspect to be all mass communication and media production programs at universities nation-wide. The court case surrounding that routine was instrumental in defining the powers of the FCC over indecency, and indeed the definition of indecency on broadcast television.
