The Resume

    (July 4, 1943- )
    Birth name is Gerald Riviera
    Prominent rookie journalist who exposed the mistreatment of mental patients at Willowbrook Center in Staten Island
    Was a news reporter for WABC TV NYC.
    Had a number of talk shows including 'Now It Can Be Told' and 'The Geraldo Rivera Show'

Why he might be annoying:

    He got into an on-the-air shouting match during a WABC Newscast when sports reporter, Guy LeBeau kept calling him Geraldo with a J sound rather than an H sound.
    Trying to break up a fight on his own show between a black priest and a clansman, he got hit in the face with a chair.
    He over embellished every story.
    During the 2003 Iraqi war he revealed the positions of U.S. troops, which put them in jeopardy.
    He divorced four times.
    At sixty, he wed a woman less than half his age, she was 29 (August 2003).
    He posted a nearly nude 'selfie' of himself on Twitter, claiming later he was drunk and just 'pushed the trigger.'(July 23, 2013)

Why he might not be annoying:

    He fought Frank Stallone in a 1992, 3 round boxing match called 'The Scrapple in the Apple,' despite Frank being an amateur boxer and outweighing him 40 lbs.
    He survived every punch Frank gave and took a lose in a decision by judges.
    The money raised went to charity.
