When Lynne Cheney come back...

she bring pie!!!

I think she’s the first guest I can remember taking off rather than talking to Jon through the commercial. What’s up with that?

pointless? why yes!

Several guest start to get up and leave during the goodbye part.

Bill Gates (on for the Vista release) famously did this which they parodied on a following episode.

The odd thing is the number of actors out pimping their movies/TV shows doing this. If you’ve done dozens of talk shows, why haven’t you caught on that you’re supposed to stay seated until the break starts?

I always assume they’re really busy. All the TV studios are in spitting distance of each other, and they’re often running from one to another, cramming as many tapings in a day as they can. That’s why the headliner guest also won’t stick around Jay’s or Dave’s couch after they’re done with their bit. Does it look rude? Sometimes, but if tapings are running late, or if they’ve got some prepping (or eating to do) in between, then every second counts.
