Monty is a short lived American sitcom that aired on the FOX network in 1994. The series starred Henry Winkler as a loud, obnoxious conservative TV commentator (modeled after Rush Limbaugh^{[citation needed]}), Monty had also written a best-selling book tilted I'm Right. I'm Right. I'm Right. Shut Up.^[1] The series also starred Tom McGowan as his executive producer and David Schwimmer as his left-leaning son.
