 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The McLaughlin Group is a weekly debate program moderated by former Jesuit priest and Nixon aide John McLaughlin. In each episode, he moderates debates on the major issues of the day.The original panelists were: Pat Buchanan Robert Novak Jack Germond Morton KondrackeAs of the series finale, the regular panel consisted of: Pat Buchanan (joined 1982) Eleanor Clift (joined 1985) Tom Rogan (joined 2014) Clarence PageOther notable panelists included Fred Barnes, Monica Crowley, David Rennie, Tim Carney, and Mortimer Zuckerman, among others.The program started on Washington-based station WRC in 1982 and kept going for 34 years, even inspiring parodies and other debate programs. Though it was cancelled following McLaughlin's death in August 2016, the final panel is making an attempt to get back in the game; a revival pilot was released on the anniversary of McLaughlin's death, with Rogan as moderator and new guest panelist Evan McMullin taking the seat he had himself occupied for nearly two years. Otherwise, the panel makeup remained the same as it had the year before.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

 Artifact Title: Even post-McLaughlin, the program is still called The McLaughlin Group out of respect for the fact that McLaughlin changed the political punditry game forever, making television history in the process.

 Ascended Meme: Some of the phrases used in the Saturday Night Live parody of the show found use in the actual show at times.

 Berserk Button: Don't feed John McLaughlin the wrong facts. He's been known to go on violent rampages because of it. Robert Novak very often mashed a bunch of Dr. McLaughlin's other buttons during his run on the show, culminating in an incident where Novak accused him of preparing to turn Democrat live on television and McLaughlin basically went apoplectic during the commercial break almost to heart attack-inducing levels.
