Or like say hey this part in the movie I did not get can you explain it to me. Or ask something about their past or how they feel on being naked in a movie? I mean it would lower the pool of people who would come on, but it would be way better for their jobs showing they can be honest about shit instead of always pushing some crap movie or crap book or crap Broadway play? They always seem to come out years later and say yea that movie sucked it was a shit experience. Then the host could ask why the hell did you pick to do it to begin with?
Presumably if they wanted your admiration, they wouldn’t be a friggin talk show host, which is by design a shill for corporate products and messages. There was that one time that one guy said something cool and the other time that other guy said that thing to that famous person, but come on; that’s not their job. Earning your admiration is not the job.
A talk show is not the personal platform of the host, any more than a role in a movie is the personal platform of the actor. A talk show is a commercial with some content sprinkled in to trick you into watching the ad. I don’t know why you are expecting anything more from it and you should be looking elsewhere for the needs you are expressing. You’re eating candy when you’re hungry and wondering why you get a tummy-ache.
