In the past year, we've seen a changing of the guard (or planned change) on The Tonight Show, NBC's Late Night, The Late Show with David Letterman, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, The Colbert Report, and The Daily Show. That's six major nighttime TV shows, exactly zero of which have chosen a woman as replacement host. (Yes, I am aware of Samantha Bee getting a show on TBS. I'm talking about the heirs to longstanding franchises here.)
Most people seem to just nod their heads and accept this without realizing how utterly weird it is. Women comprise over half the population. There are lots of female comedians. Yet the entertainment industry clearly believes that America is not ready for a woman in such a role. Don't get me started on the "not enough ladies in the pipeline" excuse -- I'm reasonably certain that if a woman had Jimmy Fallon's standup abilities, she'd still be doing open mics at the Crab Shack instead of pulling down $12 million a year like Fallon.
okay we know most networks if not all are run by conservative agenda minded executives and we know how they really feel about women. it's a good point though that half the population can't come up with one women capable enough to handle late night or is it really a money thing? they would not pay anyone short of Oprah or maybe Ellen 12 mill a year it's just not conservative. but they need to wake up and smell the estrogen there will be an even greater call for women everywhere if Hilary doesn't screw it up.
