As a big fan f talk shws, the hsts like Jimmy Falln, Cnan O’Brien and Stephen Clbert are all my heres. Withut guests t interview and audiences t interact with, they’ve had t put new twists n their shws. Sme f them have been ding vide-chat interviews with pp stars. Other hsts chse t bring their families r ther peple n bard fr their shws. (19)The hst, Jimmy Kimmel, fr example, has made vides in which he plays with his children at hme. He even surprised a fd delivery driver with a hmemade pizza t thank him fr his wrk.
It is kind f heart-warming t see that even famus peple have t struggle with the same prblems we have while they’re stuck at hme. But these hsts still d their best t bring us laughter. (20)They have certainly cheered me up during my time stuck inside.
