The up side to news interviewees Skyping in

[JaneQPublic]

It's fun for us snoopy types to see the homes of all these famous experts and journalists.

I doubt I'm the only one who focuses on the people's bookshelves and family photos and awards and wall art and forgets to listen to what they are saying.

1. I saw a guy on Fox News the other day with stacks of books

I was laughing thinking someone was going to start a thing about building him bookshelves.

4. Adding a pic

[marble falls]

8. He lives in a used book store???

[underpants]

10. Someone please donate bookshelves to Johnathan Hoenig

[TreasonousBastard]

11. Ayn Rand? I would suggest that if this is not taken in a used bookstore, the piles...

piles of books are publishers copies they send out to all potential newsies, reviewers, etc.

I've seen living rooms like that, sometimes with case a day showing up.

2. I'm just waiting to see somebody's cat

present its butthole to the camera. It's bound to happen.

7. This makes me think of the commentators doing videos from their car/truck

I've always been amused by these social and political commentators (mostly all rightwing) who do videos from their car. They don't have anywhere presentable inside their house to film these things.

3. Yeah I had to clean part of a room in case I need to give interviews.

Properly framed shot should make it look like I have a fabulous home office.

5. I saw Christie with jacket and tie and thought, he's not wearing pants

[TreasonousBastard]

13. I have been on Zoom conferences without pants. Had to hide the camera if I had...

to get up.

It'as an old radio thing, btw. There was even a classic case (that I haven't been able to look up today) where a famous radio personality went through an entire broadcast without missing a beat while the crew was undressing him

14. No pants is funny. We need all the laughs we can get.

[Shermann]

18. It WAS funny

...until a pantless Chris Christie got dragged into it. Then it just got ugly.

[Walleye]

20. Yes. Gross.

[TreasonousBastard]

15. And, there's this...

6. Yes, I enjoy the peeks. nt

9. Do the Fox News newscasters and right wing pundits have these "bookshelves" of which you speak?

[JaneQPublic]

21. Yes, but loaded with 8-track tapes

[Shermann]

22. Oh snap!

I have that book.

But I didn't read it.

12. guilty

16. I've seen Samantha Bee's wood shed! I want to see

her nook, or her little place indoors set up for coziness. I love seeing the insides of their places as well.

Plus, who could forget this:

19. Classic! (nt)

[Jane Austin]

17. I love seeing what kind of

visual art they have.

I like most of it. Lots of color.
