He's always a headline ahead.

Mark Simone on W.O.R.

Hey, well, we got a lot to get to this hour.

More and more people are going over the Seth Myers appearance last night by Joe Biden,

and it's looking more and more scripted, rigged, scripted.

There are moments in there that are pretty obvious.

There's a lot of moments where he's asked a question, or it's not even really a question,

where Seth Myers just says something, and Biden quickly replies with a great punchline.

Those moments look very scripted.

Then there's another one where Seth

Myers asked him about Taylor Swift and suddenly Biden pulls a prop out that he had made up just for

the Taylor Swift question. Now that's not scripted. You're the president of the United States.

First of all, you wouldn't

assume you're going to be asked about Taylor Swift, but he's got this prop ready. So pretty

scripted. Now, that's not unusual in late-night talk shows. They do 99% of the time, whether it's

Letterman or Carson or any of those shows or the current shows,

there's a talent coordinator who books you on the show.

Then they have what's called a segment producer,

and the segment producer will call the guest ahead of time,

and they'll do a little phone interview where they'll set up some stuff.

They'll plan what you're going to do on the interview.

And then they'll write that out for the host.
