Descripción de contraportada
Does late night political humor matter? Are late night comedians merely entertaining, or do they have the power to influence the way we think about politics and politicians? "Politics is a Joke!" demonstrates how the public turns to late night comedy for political information and is in turn affected by it.
Using exclusive data from the Center for Media and Public Affairs, the authors conduct a detailed and exhaustive analysis of political jokes on late night shows dating back to 1992. Drawing on examples from comedians like Jay Leno, Jon Stewart, and Stephen Colbert, the authors pinpoint the main targets and themes of late night comedy and examine its impact on political institutions and politicians. "Politics is a Joke!" is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the crucial role late night comedy plays in our political universeand for anyone who enjoys a good laugh.
""Politics is a Joke!" is an outstanding contribution to explaining and evaluating the expanding role of humor in American political culture, politics, and government. It is an exceptional piece of scholarship in service to the classroom in its clear and cogent quantitative and qualitative analysis of late night political humor and its impact on mass audiences."
Michael Fitzgerald, University of Tennessee
""Politics is a Joke!" does an excellent job of determining how political humor influences public perception of presidents and other political figures. The authors provide a thorough analysis of late night talk shows that hold sway with the public. Readers will find the work of these authors intriguing."
Terri Jett, Butler University
