第4章 Talk Show脱口秀
“脱口秀”是从英语词组Talk Show（口才展示）中音意同译的精彩典范。“脱口秀”是形容人的口才很好，说出的话非常有吸引力，而且谈吐不俗，博得众人的喝彩。在西方，“脱口秀”是一个视频节目的栏目，也是一种主持风格。从各大都市的地方电台到国家联合广播脱口秀，例如“拉什·林堡秀”，各种政治脱口秀在（美国）整个国家非常常见。我国的相声艺术就被西方国家认为是“脱口秀”。

认识脱口秀
1 世界各地的脱口秀
A talk show （American and Australian English） or chat show （British） is a television or radio program where one person （or group of people） discusses various topics put forth by a talk show host. Sometimes, talk shows feature a panel of guests, usually consisting of a group of people who are learned or who have great experience in relation to whatever issue is being discussed on the show for that episode. Other times, a single guest discusses their work or area of expertise with a host or co-hosts. A call-in show takes live phone calls from callers listening at home, in their cars, etc. Sometimes, guests are already seated but are often introduced and enter from backstage. Gay Byrne, Steve Allen, Jack Parr, Johnny Carson, Ed Sullivan, Oprah Winfrey, Mosunmola Abudu have hosted talk shows.
In Japan, panel shows-called “tooku bangumi” in Japanese-are very commonplace, accounting for about 30% of daytime and prime-time programming on the four main television stations. Due to language and cultural differences, Japanese TV stations could not freely use syndicated programs （mostly from Europe and North America） and therefore turned to panel shows, which could be produced cheaply and easily, to fill time during daytime programming.
Japanese panel shows are distinct in generally not employing regular panelists but instead having a panel made up of different freelance comedians and celebrities each program, although the program is generally hosted by the same host. Talk shows evolved in tandem with the Japanese variety show and it is very common for talk shows to borrow variety elements, typically by having celebrity guests attempt some kind of amusingly incongruous activity.
Taiwan is also known for their talk shows, like Japan, where they carry variety show elements and feature a handful of celebrities for each show. Many Taiwanese talk shows rely on comedic bantering, musical and talent performances, wildly animated on-screen texts and visuals, but most of these elements are scripted by writers.
2 脱口秀类型的表达方式
（1）Television talk shows 电视访谈节目
Television talk shows often feature celebrity guests who talk about their work and personal lives as well as their latest films, TV shows, music recordings or other projects they'd like to promote to the public. The hosts are often comedians who open the shows with comedy monologues.
（2）Talk radio 国际互联网上的数字化的日常电台讨论广播

（3）tabloid talk show 通俗脱口秀
The tabloid talk show genre, pioneered by Phil Donahue but popularized by Oprah Winfrey was extremely popular during the last two decades of the 20th century. Politics are hardly the only subject of American talk shows, however. Other radio talk show subjects include Car Talk hosted by NPR and Coast to Coast AM hosted by Art Bell and George Noory which discusses topics of the paranormal, conspiracy theories, fringe science and the just plain weird. Sports talk shows are also very popular ranging from high-budget shows like The Best Damn Sports Show Period to Max Kellerman's original public access show Max on Boxing.
一般脱口秀都有一列嘉宾席，通常由有学问的或者对那档节目的特定问题有特殊经验的人组成。
在西方，“脱口秀”是一个视频节目的栏目，也是一种主持风格。电视“脱口秀”（talkshow）的影响与威力越来越大，成为一道独特的文化景观，一把解读西方社会政治、经济、文化的钥匙。在我国，继20世纪90年代中期中央电视台推出《实话实说》之后，许多电视台也纷纷上马新式的谈话节目，令人目不暇接。我国的相声艺术就被西方国家认为是“脱口秀”。
