T.V. eye on Iggy Pop

In case you haven't heard, Iggy Pop and the reconstituted Stooges with guitarist James Williamson, bassist Mike Watt and drummer Scott Asheton will be headlining a free concert at Yonge-Dundas Square in Toronto on Saturday (June 19) at 9:30 pm joined by the Ravonettes (8 pm), Wavves (7 pm), Surfer Blood (6 pm) and a bunch of other bands who are just happy to be on the same bill.
Although Iggy's performances are legendary, some of his most entertaining moments happened far away from the stage in television studios. Here are just a few of Iggy's many memorable TV appearances over the past three decades:
