oliver lee do you have any idea how nerd ass america was back then .. just having him on the show was enough to make people in the south and midwest .. jump out of windows ha ha but really back in the late 69s and 70s it was educational for us young kids to see and hear people with radical ideas . most tv hosts were jerks . johnny carson was as cool as we could get then .
***** ALL of hollywood is in league with satan . these people have no soul . they will kill their mother for fame and riches . both men in that tv show were in satans army . back in the 60s a thing like this was a wild kick , if you had lived in the/ leave it to beaver/ tv era .
***** Satan didnt go to hell, hell does not exist, and also the reason why Lucifer is Satan, because he wanted to be God, he wanted to set his seat on the mount of congregations, that's where God resides, Isaiah 14:13
That "interviewer" is disrespectful, condescending, and totally unprofessional. He might learn something if he listened and asked probing questions rather than mocking and being rude.
This interviewer died WITHIN MONTHS from Lung Cancer.Maybe he shouldn't have struck a practicing sorcerer on top of the head with that cue card in hopes of angering him?
LaVey shows true respect for other religions, self control, power and intelligence. Makes me respect satanism more than Christianity and it's all mighty hypocrites.
I personally don't believe in Satanism because I am a Christian but that interviewer sitting there mocking his beliefs really pissed me off. I couldn't even watch the whole thing because I was so disgusted in his actions.
satanist or not, you got to have some level of respect and professionalism for guests on your show. This segment was completely bankrupt of either virtue and the behavior of Pyne was nothing short of embarrassing and disgraceful. Kudos to Mr. Lavey for maintaining his composure in the midst of pompous and childish antics. Although, I wouldn't have thought less of him either had he busted the shit out of his teeth.
Did anyone notice at the end as he shook his hand, he had the fingers in a curse position... On Wikipedia it says about Joe Pyne:: He developed lung cancer and died in Los Angeles on 23 March 1970. Pyne was survived by his wife, son Ed and daughter Cathy. If this video was really made in 1970, then the host died within a few months lol... something tells me LaVey had the last laugh...
I've never heard of Joe Pyne but this man, regardless of his theological position, made himself sound like a self-righteous, idiotic, unprofessional fool. His attempt to belittle and mock this gentleman made him look like a complete fool. I am glad Anton did not play into this man's stupidity.
I am a Christian and I must say that I found the treatment of LaVey on this show by Joe Pyne was both insulting and disrespectful. Mr. Pyne should have asked intelligent and insightful questions that could have shed more light on the outlook and rhetoric of LaVey. The audience had very good questions at least. Mr. Pyne should have been ashamed of himself.
- Are you also a masochist? - Well, a little bit. Maybe that's why I'm here. How frustrating it must have been to deal with this "interviews" for him :(. I admire him so much for not punching the host in the face with his ring.
I'm not a satanist and I've never heard LaVey speak before but I admire him for remaining so calm at the expense of the poor attitude of the audience and the host. A fine example of people jumping to conclusions over a concept they know little about, just because of the negative connotation above it.
The point of journalism is supposed to be to try to understand. They weren't trying to understand. They brought him in with the soul purpose of degrading him. I'm surprised he kept his composure throughout the interview. The prime example of his bible. The devil has been shouted down and kept his composure, as did he.
It just infuriates me that some schlock like Pyne would act so shamefully toward a guest on his own show. It was OUTRAGEOUS behavior to purposefully try to humiliate someone in front of thousands of viewers, and it certainly was his downfall that he chose the wrong person to pick on. No one was better equipped to handle bullies better than Dr. LaVey. Pyne got what he deserved, that is for sure. Dr. LaVey handled Pyne’s disgraceful behavior with finesse and humor - a true Master!
How shortly after this did Joe Die? Edit: I just checked....23 March 1970 according to Wikipedia... this was months after the airing of this show.... ahem.
Victor Quezada I could be wrong... I just noticed that the "copyright" info at the bottom of the video reads 1965-1970 ..meaning the show ended in 1970 I presume... well, Joe Pyne (22 December 1924 - 23 March 1970) They may have added the dates to the video years later though... so I may have made a mistake. Doesn't mean this footage was shot in 1970.. could have been 1966 as Adam mentioned above.
wow they go to the audience at about 15:30 and finnaly Lavey gets the first intelligent (non-smart-ass) question of the entire interview. bravo audience inquisitor.
True. Anton seems like a calm person who just wants to practice his belief. This interviewer is such a rude human being. I wanted a neutral interviewer.... I guess it's true what they say...the masses are usually wrong and brainwashed to follow suit.
I admire Lavey after watching this, he took the roasting well, and didn't rise to it all even though he was being ridiculed, it just made the crowd and interviewer look very ignorant
Wow. He is so well-spoken, thoughtful, and even funny. I noticed what he said was much more entertaining than listening to what asshole interviewer said; but the audience refused to laugh out of spite. That's pathetic. If they were all christians I would assume that they are not supposed to judge other people... but it just shows how brain-washed our society is. The word 'evil' only means something if you give it power.
I have to say, I agree. My father has been a preacher for over 30 years, my grandmother attended Sunday School for 35 straight years without missing one Sunday. This mans religion is his business and I see no reason for ridicule, no one is forcing the interviewer to believe the mans religion.
I don't believe in Heaven or Hell, and I'm not a very religious person. I don't appreciate this hosts attitude towards LaVey. He's not interested in entering a serious discussion with LaVay. He comes across as self righteous, and just as ignorant as the man he perceives to be ignorant.
I have no religious position. I find it funny to watch these interviewers. The guest here is very polite, honest, sincere, and humble. The host is arrogant, interruptive, pious, sarcastic, and even claims that he wishes his guest to dye on occasions in this interview. I respect the Satanist in this video much more than the Christian, funny that the interview had that effect. If an outsider were watching, he would have a hard time telling that the host is the "holy one!"
Just goes to show you how ignorant and close minded people can be. Anton Lavey understood this, hence why he done the interview and took all the disrespect from Joe Pyne in the first place.Most people don't except and judge harshly for what they do not know or are afraid of knowing. We as the human race are supposed to learn from these past mistakes and tribulations. If there is good, then there is bad. This Mr.Pyne wasn't exactly being kind, respectful and open minded....doesn't that reflect mosts opinions as "bad"? Anton Lavey allowed the interview to continue, turned the other cheek when he was slapped with disrespect by this guy. Doesn't that mean he was acting "good"? To stop learning means to stop growing, to stop growing surely means to die as we will not be able to move forward as a species, so meaning we will seize to exist. I'm sure this is in the bible somewhere, which by the way was written by a man and translated by many. Many may have withheld critical information to benefit their own agenda. Isn't that what conspiracy theorists claim about the NWO plan? Just a thought, as if it really mattered in the first place. People choose to be stupid these days because it's easier than studying for a test.
Although I do not agree with his viewpoints, yet, I see this guy is very intelligent which is why he was able to have a large following and make a living off of his philosophies.
I dont really believe in what Anton once believed in, cuz im a christian, but i do have respect for him and he does seem like a nice guy. The host was just wrong to treat him like that.
But from what his daughter said in a later interview satanists don't believe in Satan, they consider him a myth. So... how is Satan a god? The interviewer didn't need to be such a jerk, either.
I loved the Joe Pyne show because in the early '60s there was nothing else like it. My dad would always remind me that he had "a wooden leg." My dad had a thing for pointing out physical flaws that he thought someone was hiding. He said Al Capp the cartoonist had a wooden leg, too, and that Ray Charles was "on dope."
This interviewer is so rude. If you're ion to seriously interview someone, don't be so opposing. At least LaVey is used to this attitude from most people.
The fact is both of these guys are performers playing a role, with much mutually clever riposte. I'm surprised at the level of naivete in the comments.
What retro comedy show was this. Who is Joe Pyne ?? A comedian ? Funny how he died a few months after this taping. Sounds like he messed with the wrong man. lol !! I'm not a follower of any religion but this creep is disrespectful, Anton out smarted this fool and I can respect that. He's obviously keen on Christianity more so than Christians.
Don't flame the interviewer,he can try to disrespect Anton as much as he can,but Anton realizes that and does not give to the provocations. Well done :)
The interviewer took every opportunity to just take cheap jabs at Anton. It was like watching an UN-educated bully tease a smart nerd. "That yo-yo around your neck", hahaha. What kind of interview is this? It's no wonder I've never heard of this show once in my life.
A great philosopher indeed. I just thought of him today for the first time in about 5 years or more. And to think back then I was afraid of even listening to what he has to say because I thought it was "wrong"...how utterly stupid... :))
This interviewer is just downright disrespectful. I don't agree with Anton, but I would never treat a guest like that that way in public, unless all of us knew it was satire. Whatever their religion is, they deserve at least some respect.
I dont believe into what anton lavey is doing, hey to each his own. The interview guy is totally rude. Instead of asking thoughtfull questions and getting the facts, he is just trying to make it into a comedy routine.
im christian and i dont believe it is good to judge someones believe i just think that he is getting in too deep in thought he knows the truth but his perspective of it makes him who he is.
u seem to have a wrong impression of satanism. satanism isn't a religion. its sort of like taoism. its atheistic. its not literal devil worship. its something to take u out of ur boundaries. its made me have faith in myself alot. i faith in myself i can handle things.. its nothing like what christians think it is. ps- i was a christian for 16 years.
Joe Pyne is entertaining and humourous in the beginning but goes overboard later with his condecending comments and leading questions. He even taps LaVey condescendingly on the head with a cardboard cutout.... Pyne was too eager preaching to the audience. Entertaining start that just ended in bad journalism.
I am a Christian man and I found myself liking that guy better than Joe. I hate that.
Anton is several leagues more intelligent than his arrogant host
I love how every time Anton made excellent point, Joe would just change the subject or make another joke about him.
there was no political correctness in the 60S .respect toward different people
joe was a rude asshole to him
oliver lee do you have any idea how nerd ass america was back then .. just having him on the show was enough to make people in the south and midwest .. jump out of windows ha ha but really back in the late 69s and 70s it was educational for us young kids to see and hear people with radical ideas . most tv hosts were jerks . johnny carson was as cool as we could get then .

I feel like I`m watching the Marilyn Manson interview with Letterman...
if you noticed, soon after LaVey decribed simple hand gestures representing a curse, he quickly made the same gesture to the interviewer.
Its amazing how calm LaVey is during this whole interview (interrogation), but I guess he's used to ignorant people like Pyne.
That "interviewer" is disrespectful, condescending, and totally unprofessional. He might learn something if he listened and asked probing questions rather than mocking and being rude.
Anton is not really hurting anyone.... he just represents that other side of us we all have as human beings... and that's what he is there for..
he mouthed off and ended up dead shortly after this interview weird
I hate how the interviewer isn't taking the interview serious
This interviewer died WITHIN MONTHS from Lung Cancer.Maybe he shouldn't have struck a practicing sorcerer on top of the head with that cue card in hopes of angering him?
LaVey shows true respect for other religions, self control, power and intelligence. Makes me respect satanism more than Christianity and it's all mighty hypocrites.
I personally don't believe in Satanism because I am a Christian but that interviewer sitting there mocking his beliefs really pissed me off. I couldn't even watch the whole thing because I was so disgusted in his actions.
I can't believe how rude Joe Pyne was.
Anton clearly showed a class of a genius way ahead of his time !!!
satanist or not, you got to have some level of respect and professionalism for guests on your show. This segment was completely bankrupt of either virtue and the behavior of Pyne was nothing short of embarrassing and disgraceful. Kudos to Mr. Lavey for maintaining his composure in the midst of pompous and childish antics. Although, I wouldn't have thought less of him either had he busted the shit out of his teeth.
I love how Joe Pyne had not one single intellectual thing to say in the whole interview. He made himself look like a complete moron.
"are you a masochist?" - "well a littlebit, maybe thats why im here" :D wonderful!!
Did anyone notice at the end as he shook his hand, he had the fingers in a curse position... On Wikipedia it says about Joe Pyne:: He developed lung cancer and died in Los Angeles on 23 March 1970. Pyne was survived by his wife, son Ed and daughter Cathy. If this video was really made in 1970, then the host died within a few months lol... something tells me LaVey had the last laugh...
I've never heard of Joe Pyne but this man, regardless of his theological position, made himself sound like a self-righteous, idiotic, unprofessional fool. His attempt to belittle and mock this gentleman made him look like a complete fool. I am glad Anton did not play into this man's stupidity.
Love how tolerant and humouring LaVey is towards the bigoted and undeserving.
Those whose eyes are open see clearly. Shemamforash.
Anton is slick, i saw the hand shake.
I thought the pope was the dirty pope.
I was around in Joe Pyne's day and he was pretty much considered an asshole by all. His name became a joke. The prototype of Bill Mauer
I am a Christian and I must say that I found the treatment of LaVey on this show by Joe Pyne was both insulting and disrespectful. Mr. Pyne should have asked intelligent and insightful questions that could have shed more light on the outlook and rhetoric of LaVey. The audience had very good questions at least. Mr. Pyne should have been ashamed of himself.
He definitely put a curse on him!
LaVey is a better man than Joe Pyne...
- Are you also a masochist?
- Well, a little bit. Maybe that's why I'm here.
How frustrating it must have been to deal with this "interviews" for him :(. I admire him so much for not punching the host in the face with his ring.
So abhorrently disrespectful. They treat satanism like a joke meanwhile they worship a flying man in the sky and take it seriously.
I am very impressed at how calm LaVey is. It's amazing how openly rude the interviewer is.
I'm not a satanist and I've never heard LaVey speak before but I admire him for remaining so calm at the expense of the poor attitude of the audience and the host. A fine example of people jumping to conclusions over a concept they know little about, just because of the negative connotation above it.
Tom Hardy should play Anton LaVey in a movie about his life.
The point of journalism is supposed to be to try to understand. They weren't trying to understand. They brought him in with the soul purpose of degrading him. I'm surprised he kept his composure throughout the interview. The prime example of his bible. The devil has been shouted down and kept his composure, as did he.
And he even shook his hand afterward. I could never have done that.
Anton lavey is sarcastic as fuck lol he is awesome people really don't get the guy at all.
Joe pyne was an idiot he understood nothing.
It just infuriates me that some schlock like Pyne would act so shamefully toward a guest on his own show. It was OUTRAGEOUS behavior to purposefully try to humiliate someone in front of thousands of viewers, and it certainly was his downfall that he chose the wrong person to pick on. No one was better equipped to handle bullies better than Dr. LaVey. Pyne got what he deserved, that is for sure. Dr. LaVey handled Pyne’s disgraceful behavior with finesse and humor - a true Master!
I love how Magus LaVey just fucks with Joe Pyne. You can tell if you pay attention that he isn't being serious.
Wow! Anton was so poised and gracious especially considering the arrows tossed at him by the host.
Joe Pyne is being very disrespectful.
He handled this interview brilliantly. The interviewer just could not get one on him.
How shortly after this did Joe Die?
Edit: I just checked....23 March 1970 according to Wikipedia... this was months after the airing of this show.... ahem.
Victor Quezada I could be wrong... I just noticed that the "copyright" info at the bottom of the video reads 1965-1970 ..meaning the show ended in 1970 I presume... well, Joe Pyne (22 December 1924 - 23 March 1970) They may have added the dates to the video years later though... so I may have made a mistake. Doesn't mean this footage was shot in 1970.. could have been 1966 as Adam mentioned above.
The interviewer is VILE. LaVey is eloquent (and damned good looking). I appreciate most of what he has to say.
The interviewer was quite disrespectful. I'm no satanist so it's not that i agree with Lavey's views but I know what condescending comments are!
Johnny Depp will be great in a movie role, kinda looks like him
the interviewer thought he's making fun of his guest. if he watched this, i wonder if he ever realized how much he made fun of himself.
wow they go to the audience at about 15:30 and finnaly Lavey gets the first intelligent (non-smart-ass) question of the entire interview. bravo audience inquisitor.
True. Anton seems like a calm person who just wants to practice his belief. This interviewer is such a rude human being. I wanted a neutral interviewer....
I guess it's true what they say...the masses are usually wrong and brainwashed to follow suit.
Thank you so much! I've always wanted to watch the complete interview.
LaVey is there to educate and Pyne is there to ridicule.. latter part didn't really work tho'
Some people think that Pyne died as a result of some Levay curse but he died from years of smoking cigs.
The only response to the "Christians" would be. "Let he without sin cast the first stone."
Can't believe that guy just said he'd love it if his children set him on fire... What a horrible guy.
LeVey is the most advocation that anyone could ever expose. Pardon my wording, I'm tired. But, He is the most calm respectful man i've ever seen.
Seems like a pretty good and thoughtful guy.
I love how much of a sheepish smile LaVey has at the start of this interview
Foolish to ridicule what one does not comprehend. Ignorance leads to darkness, helplessness, and finally detriment.
I admire Lavey after watching this, he took the roasting well, and didn't rise to it all even though he was being ridiculed, it just made the crowd and interviewer look very ignorant
Wow. He is so well-spoken, thoughtful, and even funny. I noticed what he said was much more entertaining than listening to what asshole interviewer said; but the audience refused to laugh out of spite. That's pathetic.

Much respect for High Priest Anton Szandor Lavey!
I don't believe in Heaven or Hell, and I'm not a very religious person. I don't appreciate this hosts attitude towards LaVey. He's not interested in entering a serious discussion with LaVay. He comes across as self righteous, and just as ignorant as the man he perceives to be ignorant.
Joe is such an evil hypocrite, insulting and belittling Anton or trying to atleast.
I have no religious position.
I find it funny to watch these interviewers. The guest here is very polite, honest, sincere, and humble. The host is arrogant, interruptive, pious, sarcastic, and even claims that he wishes his guest to dye on occasions in this interview.
I respect the Satanist in this video much more than the Christian, funny that the interview had that effect.
If an outsider were watching, he would have a hard time telling that the host is the "holy one!"
I wonder how much of this is him completely messing with pyne. You can tell a good portion of it is.
I really wish Anton could have force choked that interviewer.
Just go full on Darth Vader with his hand out in the air and everything
he cursed him right there on stage ;) muhahaha
"Are you a masochist?"
"A little bit... maybe that's why I'm here!"
Hah! :D
THANK U FOR POSTING THIS ENTIRE INTERVIEW GOOD LOOKS

Love his books R.I.P Lavey.
Joe Pyne sort of reminds me of Moe Howard of the Three Stooges.
Although I do not agree with his viewpoints, yet, I see this guy is very intelligent which is why he was able to have a large following and make a living off of his philosophies.
So glad I got to see this completely.
I dont really believe in what Anton once believed in, cuz im a christian, but i do have respect for him and he does seem like a nice guy. The host was just wrong to treat him like that.
But from what his daughter said in a later interview satanists don't believe in Satan, they consider him a myth. So... how is Satan a god? The interviewer didn't need to be such a jerk, either.
Dear god, didnt Pyne die soon after?
I loved the Joe Pyne show because in the early '60s there was nothing else like it. My dad would always remind me that he had "a wooden leg." My dad had a thing for pointing out physical flaws that he thought someone was hiding. He said Al Capp the cartoonist had a wooden leg, too, and that Ray Charles was "on dope."
he wasnt wrong about charles xD
Thanks for posting this - I couldn`t find the whole interview. Excellent post! Subscribed and liked.
Anton was such a smart guy
Oh his voice! What I would do for that voice!
It seems like Joe Pyne was being rude but that type of conversation was in style in the 1960s. Hugh Hefner and Dick Cavett used to do it all the time.
This interviewer is so rude. If you're ion to seriously interview someone, don't be so opposing. At least LaVey is used to this attitude from most people.
The fact is both of these guys are performers playing a role, with much mutually clever riposte. I'm surprised at the level of naivete in the comments.

Nice brother you found the entire interview.
Joe Pyne is disrespectful. There is freedom of religion in USA.
Right, he's just a talk-show host. "Asshole" is practically in the job description.
A great philosopher indeed. I just thought of him today for the first time in about 5 years or more. And to think back then I was afraid of even listening to what he has to say because I thought it was "wrong"...how utterly stupid... :))
This interviewer is just downright disrespectful. I don't agree with Anton, but I would never treat a guest like that that way in public, unless all of us knew it was satire. Whatever their religion is, they deserve at least some respect.
Loved this.
Can't believe how much of a knob Joe Pyne is.
I am suprised Anton sat there and put up with the systemic stupidity.
I dont believe into what anton lavey is doing, hey to each his own. The interview guy is totally rude. Instead of asking thoughtfull questions and getting the facts, he is just trying to make it into a comedy routine.
im christian and i dont believe it is good to judge someones believe i just think that he is getting in too deep in thought he knows the truth but his perspective of it makes him who he is.
I liked him before I saw this, and I like him even more now.
u seem to have a wrong impression of satanism. satanism isn't a religion. its sort of like taoism. its atheistic. its not literal devil worship. its something to take u out of ur boundaries. its made me have faith in myself alot. i faith in myself i can handle things.. its nothing like what christians think it is. ps- i was a christian for 16 years.
A great man. R.I.P Lavey. May he be remembered forever.
This interviewer is kind of rude...
im so glad Joe Pyne had a slow painful battle with lung cancer and lost
Joe Pyne is entertaining and humourous in the beginning but goes overboard later with his condecending comments and leading questions. He even taps LaVey condescendingly on the head with a cardboard cutout.... Pyne was too eager preaching to the audience. Entertaining start that just ended in bad journalism.
hes not getting hammered. hes making jokes and thats how he does his shows. im sure levey knew what he was getting into!
