It's sometimes hard to tell one televangelist from another if you're not following the scene. Here, then, is a partial list:

  • Jim Bakker - Convicted embezzler, wife Tammy Faye had too much makeup, Book: "I was wrong", rumors of sexual harrassment of secretaries at PTL ministries
  • Oral Roberts - Extorted $10M from followers with claim that God would kill him otherwise
  • Jimmy Swaggart - Pornography addict, patron of prostitutes, famed for tearful "I have sinned" confession
  • Jerry Falwell - "The antichrist is a Jew" / "Tinky Winky is gay" / "Lilith fair is satanic"
