Abstract:
|
Late night television talk shows are increasingly recognized as contributors to the political arena. This content analysis focuses on episodes of the four most popular late night programs: The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, The Late Show with David Letterman, and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Jokes are coded for subject, theme, and valence in order to examine what jokes are being told, who they are targeting, and the positive or negative weight they carry. |
