Here's another one of the most classic moments, the big fight between the KKK and a radical Jewish group called the JDL in 1997:

Several audience members got involved in the fight. In this era the show used stools that were easy to throw and often used in the fights by guests. They later changed these to larger chairs that couldn't be thrown.

This to my understanding was shown on TV only once, in 1998. It was so controversial they never aired it again.
