Okay, so one of my many obsessions is late night talk shows. Ever since I was a child, and my mother gave me this tiny black and white TV for my bedroom, I would sneak and stay up to see who was on Arsenio, Letterman, Leno, mostly because it was a free way to see live music (though I wasn’t really there). Now as an adult…the habit persists, and it’s stronger than ever.
But there is one thing that has always been a mystery to me. When it’s time for a commercial break (to pay the bills) and the theme music starts playing, every late show host leans over to the guest and starts whispering something. EVERY ONE…EVERY TIME! What the hell are they saying?
Could it be, “Nice boobs.”
Or, “You really need a fu*kin’ altoid.”
Or maybe, “Did they put the vodka in your mug like you asked?”
What say you all out there in popten land?
Mostly I think he is asking, so are you going to finish the coffee, cause I will. And you look kinda of uncomfortable, do you have hemorrhoids or stage freight.
Talk to a deaf person to find out for sure. They read lips all the time.

I presume that not all the hosts like all the guests and visa-verse, so it could be like those comedic sketches often seen where they put on smiles while simultaneously cursing each other out. “How dare you steal my tag line you scum bag.” or “I saw your movie, it really sucked actually, but my producer made you come on the show. So, ehh, just don’t talk when we come back from commercial break.” I guess it could potentially be really boring too, like: “so you wanna hit up 7-Eleven later and hope that our body-guards kick the $h*t outta someone again?”
