"It is happening again, Agent Cooper. Jimmy Fallon is shilling for a tech venture. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was a guest on The Tonight Show on December 8, and Fallon was all about this nascent technology and Altman's claims that it can be used to help raise your children. The whole thing was eerily similar to when Paris Hilton gifted Fallon a Bored Ape NFT. What does Altman think of simulation theory, I wonder?"
"The following night, Stephen Colbert said straight to the camera that AI is a financial bubble that could cause another Great Depression (well, actually, he silently mouthed it). Colbert was interviewing CNBC's Andrew Ross Sorkin, so it makes sense that the convo was more skeptical of AI than when talking to one of its big machers. But Colbert still pushed back and had more follow-up questions for Sorkin than Fallon had for Altman."
"As we'll see at No. 1 on this list, quirky gals bringing props onto Late Night With Seth Meyers are dear to my heart. Amy Sedaris brought her crafts, and - this is the brilliant part - she made him price them for an upcoming rummage sale. What a weird bit. Which Sedaris gewgaw do you want the most? I'd go for a penny bookmark myself."
Jimmy Fallon hosted OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, enthusiastically promoting claims that nascent AI can help raise children, drawing comparisons to past celebrity tech endorsements. Stephen Colbert reacted more skeptically, mouthing that AI could be a financial bubble capable of causing a Great Depression and pushing CNBC's Andrew Ross Sorkin with follow-up questions and price challenges. Colbert's interviews emphasized genuine interplay between host and guest. Amy Sedaris appeared on Late Night With Seth Meyers with crafted trinkets and had Meyers price them for a rummage sale, including a penny bookmark and handmade items made by teens.
