Glenn O'Brien hosted a punk rock TV show, TV Party, from 1978 to 1982. Co-hosted by Chris Stein from Blondie and directed by Amos Poe, the show took television to the edge of civility and sub-realism. Walter Stedin's band provided music, and artists like Jean-Michael Basquiat, David Byrne, and Arto Lindsay were regular guests, making it a unique cocktail party that often turned into a political party.
