Intimacy, In-Jokes, and the Feeling of Spontaneity on Late-Night Talk Shows: How Hosts and Audiences Laughed Together in Pandemic Times
ABSTRACT:Late-night talk shows, which rely on live, in-studio audiences for their tapings, were forced during the pandemic to reformulate how they produced their programs, first recording episodes from their hosts’ homes and then in audience-less studios. This article shows how network late-night talk shows used intimacy, in-jokes, and the feeling of spontaneity to connect with their at-home audiences and encourage their participation, despite their being locked out of the studios.
期刊介绍:
Welcome to the home of Studies in American Humor, the journal of the American Humor Studies Association. Founded by the American Humor Studies Association in 1974 and published continuously since 1982, StAH specializes in humanistic research on humor in America (loosely defined) because the universal human capacity for humor is always expressed within the specific contexts of time, place, and audience that research methods in the humanities strive to address. Such methods now extend well beyond the literary and film analyses that once formed the core of American humor scholarship to a wide range of critical, biographical, historical, theoretical, archival, ethnographic, and digital studies of humor in performance and public life as well as in print and other media. StAH’s expanded editorial board of specialists marks that growth. On behalf of the editorial board, I invite scholars across the humanities to submit their best work on topics in American humor and join us in advancing knowledge in the field.
