and would be a good choice if he could draw more minorities to watch the show. The audience is strongly older and white, that old business of different demos choosing different entertainments. One could say color shouldn't matter, but it obviously is a factor in viewership, and the advertisers care who they can pitch their commercials to and how many are exposed to them. Interestingly, though, Jeopardy is drawing some young viewers.
Btw, for those anxious to promote AA, they're roughly 13.3% of the population. Whites, including white Hispanics, are nearly 75%, over 5-1/2 times as many. And of course there are Hispanics, a large demo, and "other" who deserve full consideration also.
It's been surprising to see how many known names are interested in the job. Sanjay Gupta, whose parents immigrated from India and met in the U.S., will be a guest host, and Mayim Bialik, the neuroscientist who played Amy Farrah-Fowler on The Big Bang Theory, is Modern Orthodox Jewish.
We're enjoying watching and have our favorites, too many, but we won't get excited about what will be a business decision.
