Rudy Giuliani apparently was one of this season's first eliminated 'Masked Singer' contestants, prompting a couple of judges to walk off the stage, offended — but why does this sort of thing keep happening?
The latter two questions represent a distinct improvement over the others.
The case study for reality TV-driven celebrity image laundering will always be what NBC did on behalf of Donald Trump withHoward Stern , kept declaring bankruptcy, and was willing to attach his name to literally anything. The series restored legitimacy to The Donald, and then, when Trump’s presidential campaign started off as its own, much less funny form of a joke,helped give one last bleaching to his image. From punchline to president in barely more than a decade.
It shouldn’t be surprising, I guess, that so many of the figures recently receiving image laundering from the reality TV machine have associations with the reality TV president, including the breaking point that made me write this column.
