![]() ![]() (Seriously, Jon? Doris Kearns Goodwin again?) No, I'm talking strictly the Big Three networks. I'm not talking The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report, or Charlie Rose and Tavis Smiley, where you'll often see authors as guests. And my personal vote for greatest anecdote in talk show history, late-night or otherwise - involving plasma-selling, blackout drinking and a 300-pound naked woman - goes to James Ellroy.īut over the past couple decades, authors have gone largely missing from late night. Thompson and Carly Simon sharing a couch on Late Night with David Letterman, or Thompson lighting up a stuffed animal with a machine gun on Late Night with Conan O'Brien. (Marx: "You're pretty shifty, aren't you?" Capote: "Elusive.") There's Hunter S. Norman Mailer and Gore Vidal nearly trading blows on The Dick Cavett Show, which also featured the verbal dueling of Truman Capote and Groucho Marx. Think Jack Kerouac reading On the Road accompanied by Steve Allen on piano. ![]() Authors have always made damn good late-night talk show guests. ![]()

Owens’ book consists of eleven chapters along with a Foreword by Larry Elder (an American conservative talk radio host), an introduction, a conclusion, and her notes section containing links to every single source she cites throughout her book. ![]() Embedded with her own personal experiences, history, and statistics, she argues her point very well. This is the argument that Blackout lays out. She travels around America to voice her opinion in an attempt to educate Black Americans on why being a Republican is the right choice to make. Her opinion caused an uproar among Democrats, but the Left deems most of her opinions as radical. In the west, the steady feminization of our men at the same time that Marxism is being taught to our children is not a coincidence. There is no society that can survive without strong men. Most recently, she has made headlines regarding Harry Styles’ Vogue cover in which he wore a dress. This blunt title reflects how Owens carries herself on social media: unapologetic.
