I finally remembered the name of the 90s talk show host I'd wanted to reference yesterday - Jeremy Springer of course. Which had me thinking about our British spinoffs - Trisha, and most depressingly of all, Jeremy Kyle.
I also share about the times I was in the audience in live TV show recordings - basically pensioners, students, super fans and people who don't have day jobs. Lol.
Some of this leads me down the trail of why women have always been expected to "look attractive" on TV - and are actually complained about - in a way that men are not. Which is kind of fitting considering all the ridiculous reactions to a recent young actress being secretly snapped in her bikinis while she's just hanging out by her own pool. Depressing that this is still the norm!
