This footage has been on YouTube forever, but perhaps someone out there hasn't seen it yet. It's too bad Zappa is so unresponsive in this interview, I guess he hadn't mastered his television persona yet (as a disastarous stint hosting Saturday Night Live later proved). Eventually he would make incredible arguments on television on more serious panel shows as in this oft-viewed clip on Crossfire or this debate moderated by Charlie Rose or my all-time favorite, this incongruous booking on a Joan Lunden mother's day special - part one & part two!

"as a disastarous stint hosting Saturday Night Live later proved"
30 years later I remember Zappa sitting on the edge of the stage on SNL playing guitar and just talking to the audience. Zappa did what he always did - defied convention.
If memorable moments on the tube are to be consider a disaster in hindsight it is unfortunate.
