Politicians at Night: Interaction and Discourse on the Entertainment-Political Interview delves into the captivating exchanges between presidential candidates and talk show hosts on broadcast late-night shows in the United States. Gonen Dori-Hacohen, Eean Grimshaw, and Menno H. Reijven employ a diverse range of language and social interaction frameworks, including membership categorization analysis, conversation analysis, narrative analysis, and semiotics, to unravel the complexities of the Entertainment-Political Interview (EPI). Their comprehensive study provides a profound understanding of the EPI and its cultural significance.
The authors explore how politicians strategically employ pronouns to foster inclusion and exclusion in their interactions. They also shed light on the hosts' tendency to ask softball questions, highlighting the mechanisms that shape political discourse. In contrast to these elements that contribute to politics, the authors demonstrate how politicians utilize stories to present themselves akin to celebrities. Furthermore, they examine how politicians intersect with entertainment when analyzing a specific segment called Slow Jam the News, featured on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
The linking of politicians to entertainment forms the final argument of the book, where the authors critically examine the EPI as part of a myth. While it maintains a façade of politics, the EPI ultimately promotes a capitalist neoliberal ideology that underpins both entertainment and politics in the United States. Through their meticulous analysis, Politicians at Night offers valuable insights into the dynamics of political communication and the role of entertainment in shaping public perception.
