I would not be surprised if Joyce's works were not popular at the time. Popularity has never been a synonym of quality. Nice to see he remains grounded.
the only talk shows I watch/watched are Graham Norton and Craig Ferguson.....Please note an Irishman & a Scot. Tells you a lot about talk show hosts in America these days. They're all too political. The Johnny Carson era is completely gone on this side of the pond (tho Craig aired from LA)
Well you are right, he is mostly non political in his own shows, but he is extremely intelligent and he said he thought Donald Trump was an idiot, not the you need to be bright to think that.
I dont care 5 years ago or not, I love Johnny's " way" of speaking....and that " depth" to his tone. Speaks with thought and sincerity....love that. Hugs from NZ..
