- Resumen
This research analyses the representation of gender on prime time and late-night television talk shows in Europe and the United States. The main goal is to assess whether traditional gender stereotypes are depicted in this popular form of television genre or if, on the contrary, representations found on late-night talk shows are challenging hegemonic notions of gender and encouraging new portrayals.
To achieve this goal, content analysis is carried out for examining the sample, which is composed by every television talk show which aired on prime time or late-night timeslots. More particularly, programmes aired in general-interest channels in Europe (Spain, France, Italy and the United Kingdom) and the United States have been selected.
Results show that only binary expressions of gender have participated: male and female participants. On the one hand, men are more likely to perform a dominant role within these programmes, especially that of the host which is of the utmost relevance towards the dynamics of the format. Women tend to appear on roles that are less dominant and use far less humour than their male counterparts. On the other hand, late-night talk shows do show equity at the time of introducing female and male guests and are also likely to discuss themes from both the personal and private spheres with either gender.
In this cross-national research, what can also be concluded is the fact that English-speaking countries (the United Kingdom and the United States) use much more humour than the remaining ones (Spain, France, and Italy).
The main conclusion that can be drawn is that this format is still challenging in terms of a fair gender representation mainly due to both the lack of female participants performing dominant roles, as well as traditional assumptions of women performing humour.
