The first 15 minutes of every show is dedicated to the hosts talking about the most uninteresting minutia of their lives. Who cares what Kelly had for dinner last night and who cares why Ryan doesn’t wear socks?
If this show has high ratings, it has to be because the people who watch it have very boring uninteresting lives.
That is good for the hosts and bad for the people who watch. Whoever called television a ‘Vast Waste Land’ must have been watching this show.
