What is a talk show?
A talk show is a show that has everything to do with talking. I’ll explain this in three ways.
Talk shows are a place for people to come talk. Celebrities come on to talk about themselves, or their projects. Regular people come on to share their stories.
Talk shows are also a place to talk about things that are happening. Late-night hosts tell jokes about topical things. They bring on guests that are making news or that have gone viral for some bizarre quality.
Finally, talk shows are a place to create things that people will talk about. These are the segments that go viral for some bizarre quality (see Jimmy Fallon). These are guests who are coming to share something they’ve never talked about before.
Amusingly enough, for all that talk, talk shows sure aren’t cheap.
