Are the Sunday morning network interview shows an example of white and male privilege?

35. What Female comdian has a high enough stature to get a job like that.....

.....and accept it? I think the entire world would have rejoiced at news that Tina Fay or Amy Pohler would have taken Late Night or the Daily Show. Both of them don't want it, because its a gruling schedule, and a step down from the moves they are currently doing in Hollywood. Who else do you think was passed over here?

Late night TV is a dying Medium, at least in the letterman/leno and sadly even Conan model. Jimmy Fallon, who is kind of a twerp, is actually doing it right. Package the show as a bunch of youtube friendly 'events' that can be watched the next morning by folks drinking their coffee or studying for finals.

Jon Stewart was/is on a whole other level. I am not a fan of Trevor Noah, and would have loved if Jessica Williams had gotten the host chair. Why they went with Noah over here, I don't know, however I think it says a lot in that the two top contenders (at least in the publics mind) for the Stewart chair were PoC and one was a female. Sadly, in my opinion, only one of them is funny, and she didn't get the job.
