Jack: “Do you watch much TV, Jill?”

Jill: “No, I’ve no time for TV, except of course for News and PBS documentaries.”

Jack: “Ah hah! So, you’re one of those!”

Jill: “One of … what?”

Jack: “TV Snobs. You know, the ones who love to complain there’s so much trash on TV.”

Jill frowns: “I didn’t know we had a name.”

Jack: “Come on, fess up, pal, there must be something else you watch.”

Jill: “Okay, ya got me. I used to be a fan of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”

Jack: “Me too! I record it and watch the next day. What do you mean, you used to be a fan?”

Jill: “Loved it, right up until Colbert started mocking President Trump.”

Jack: “OMG! In the name of everything Good, please tell me you’re putting me on!”

Jill laughs. “I’m putting you on. Love Stephen! Fox’s Tucker Carlson too. Not.”
