In his programs he mixes corny piety with dirty jokes, drinks raw gin from a water tumbler while broadcasting.

Behind him sits the calm doctor, supporting his patient with a strong left arm, gently urging him to drink a tumbler of medicine. There are three figures in Goya's darkened background: a priest, a woman (possibly Goya's cousin and housekeeper, Leocadia Weiss), and a mysterious, gaping head which may be Goya's symbol for death...
