Paste counts down what it claims are the top 25 “live moments” on TV this past decade (other than 9/11). The list includes live-to-tape stuff from talk shows, but let’s not be picky here.
Some are obviously worthy of inclusion: Jon Stewart righteously punking Tucker Carlson on CNN, Election Night ’00, Tina Fey as Sarah Palin. I might have replaced some of the list’s sports highlights to fit in Janet Jackson’s “Nipplegate” and Rachel Maddow’s polite demolition of Pat Buchanan.
