Fans acclaim it for being spicy and straightforward; critics label it shallow and rude. The success of the Taiwanese talk show "KangXi Arrives" has elicited (引出) different responses from audience members: Different from the usual more serious-style talk shows, it's well known for its humorous interviews and relaxed atmosphere. So, what's so great about TV talk shows? The question of whether there's a bottom line for TV shows of this kind has been discussed for a long time. The answer is generally positive, but there's still the question: How much is too much? In places like the US and UK, most TV channels don't bother stopping hosts from using dirty words like the "f word" or "sht" but will beep the words out when the program airs . TV hosts there can talk about almost anything: politics, religion, sex, and whatever. For them, the bottom line is more likely to be the interests of their guests and audiences, rather than whether they've gone too far. If a guest is not comfortable with the jokes or tricks, or if there's complaining from the audience, the host can be in trouble. For example, British host Jonathan Ross, was suspended without pay by the BBC last year. His offense? He left "grossly offensive" voicemail (语音信箱) messages on the answering machine of British actor Andrew Sachs in his radio show. In most cases, the bottom line is "lower" than you might think. On American TV, "freedom of speech" is valued. Big late night TV hosts are known for their bold methods. They're ironic, opinionated (固执己见的), and may push the limits. Surprisingly (or not), audiences are "blamed" for the lower limits. Audiences supposedly expect more and "force" hosts to go further. More than once Dee Hsu has admitted that she does the crazy things on "KangXi Arrives" "all for the rating." To a certain extent, the bottom line should be what the audiences want. And, for those fearless hosts who just don't care, where there's beeping, there's hope .1.
