There are still a handful of D list celebrities who stay on-call in case a guest cancels at the last minute, Richard Simmons and Rip Taylor were easy examples of that from the good ol’ days. As for intentionally booking guests who have nothing to plug, celebrities have social media to be witty (or attempt to be) and engage with their fan base. They have no incentive to go on a talk show. Talk shows are awkward for those involved. There is a lot of pressure to perform and win people over, and celebrities generally only do them as part of a promotional tour. > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "TVorNotTV" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to tvornottv+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/tvornottv/83161d57-d41e-4284-a8b3-334ff9ff8fa4%40googlegroups.com > . > -- Kevin M.
