That thing about American talk show hosts insisting on sitting in a high chair, while their guests sit lower, is that to make the host look powerful?
I am just asking, because it really looks weird, when the guest is The President of the United States.

- or the desk has to be lowered so the host's height matches armchair height, which looks super-weird.

and opportunities to sit like this only humanise him. he should be riding on top of a giant glowing mecha covered in missiles and the blood of children, instead heres joe public, a real human being just like you and me. what a load of crap.
fuck seth myers for doing this.
