Celebrities on Talk Shows

One of the best medium for celebrities to promote their new movie, CD, Broadway or TV show, is to appear as guests on popular Talk Shows. For the fans, talk shows give them the chance to see their favorite stars in a more personal environment, and in a way, get to know them better.

An appearance on a Talk Show can make or break a celebrity. Jerry Seinfeld and Ellen Degeneres are two of the celebs that have said that their big break came after an appearance on a popular talk show. In the other hand, we have cases as Farrah Fawcett, and recently Joaquin Phoenix that make the cover of next day papers for the way they behave on Talk Shows.

Celebs also use Talk Shows to apologize for any wrong doing they have committed, as the case of Hugh Grant, Mel Gibson, etc.

The hosts of the most popular Talk Shows are experts in interviews, celebs have to be ready to answer a variety of questions, or they can look flat, untruthful and boring, and this can affect whatever they are promoting.
