‘Evocateur’ recalls influential talk show host CNN presents “Evocateur: The Morton Downey Jr. Movie” (9 p.m.). Presented with limited commercial interruption, this 2012 film recalls Downey’s meteoric rise as a syndicated talk show host in the late 1980s and his lasting influence on television, pop culture and politics. Downey was not the first talk show host to introduce political vitriol and a brazenly unbalanced approach to his “interview” style. The documentary cites the example of Joe Pyne, a flame-throwing television host from the 1960s. What Downey and his producers introduced was the participation of a raucous studio audience into the mix, a group that Washington Post television critic Tom Shales called “a hockey audience” in a contemporary review. We see the late New York mayor Ed Koch describe them as “a lynch mob.” It’s interesting to compare the irrational crowds in Downey’s audience to the mobs depicted on the current HBO miniseries “Show Me a Hero,” set in the late 1980s, the very time of the host’s success. Downey toyed with the resentments and rage of his largely white audience, stoking racial fears for entertainment value. The Rev. Al Sharpton appeared frequently on the talk show, playing his role as a villain to Downey’s white knight. While some decried the vulgarity of the spectacle and the decline of televised discourse, Morton Downey Jr.’s show was really a professional wrestling match disguised as a talk show. The anger was as manufactured as the fight was fixed. Charges of fakery killed Downey’s ratings and his fourpack-a-day cigarette habit eventually ended his life in 2001. But his gimmicky anti-intellectualism endures on any number of talk radio shows and cable “news” shout-fests. • Seven photogenic young people navigate the difficult years between high school and settling down to family and marriage in the new documentary series “Gainesville” (10 p.m., CMT). This series has no shortage of melodrama, but it’s more about conversation than beer kegs and parties. Beautiful photography makes the most of its Florida setting. • Fred Armisen and Bill Hader star in “Documentary

Now!” (10 p.m., IFC, TV-14). They teamed up with fellow “Saturday Night Live” alum Seth Meyers to create this halfhour parody series that offers a goofy take on documentary films. They skewer everything from the Maysles brothers’ “Grey Gardens” to the work of globetrotting “Vice” journalists.
