late nite talk shows

I am often saddened to see a preponderance of superstars that roll across our late nite talk shows. It is a shame that we have to listen to their petty family stories or dull anecdotes about them tripping down a flight of stairs. I used to be a big fan of talk shows, and then grew frustrated when listening to these actors and musicians. Many of them speak to the audience as if they had not a care in the world. Life, in essence, is perfect. Not so. Not so at all for the rest of us.

It would be refreshing for once if a late night talk show host constantly invited a bunch of losers onto the show. I would be more interested in hearing about their lives. What about an athlete who spent 10 years in the minors and never made it to the bigs? What about the 30-year-old man who has never touched a lady? Is there a person out there that has gone on twenty job interviews but never received an offer? Let's embrace these figures. It's high time that we listen to these people whose struggles define them. They are the true superstars; their stories will be compelling.
