Abstract

The author explores howaudience members make sense of the
talk show genre-from daytime issueoriented
programs to late-night entertainment
shows-through a qualitative
survey of television viewers. He argues
that the genre is linked to assumed
notions of identity and hierarchies of
cultural value that help explain the
genre's controversial history.
