The week of May 18th marked two months since most late night and daytime talk programs had ceased normal production of their shows. Some of them aired repeats, as would have been customary leading into the Memorial Day holiday in the United States. Aside from the near ubiquitous discussion of the coronavirus and responses to it, the repeats don’t have the science and technology content to note here.
Regrettably the new shows that week are also lacking in such content. I will note two exceptions. Actors Zach Braff and Donald Faison, who played doctors on the comedy series Scrubs, appeared on the May 22nd edition of The View. They have a podcast where they are re-watching Scrubs. I haven’t listened, so I don’t know how much medical content is on the program. On the May 21st episode of Tamron Hall’s talk show she visits with two veterinarians, Erin and Ben Schroeder.
