Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This paper is an empirical examination of the effects of late-night exposure on perceptions of the presidential candidates in the 2000 Presidential campaign. Rooted in priming theory, the author assesses the extent to which exposure to late-night comedy programming primed the candidates' caricatured traits as the basis for the audience's overall evaluations of the candidates, and explores how these priming effects varied by the political knowledge level of the audience. The analyses also include a content analysis of late-night political jokes made by Dave Letterman and Jay Leno throughout the campaign. While results do not indicate significant priming effects for the entire sample, they do suggest that priming effects of late-night varied as a function of the political knowledge of the audience. Findings also suggest that exposure to Leno played a greater role in the priming process than did exposure to Letterman.
