gabfest

Perhaps no show has generated as many headlines lately as “The Pat McAfee Show,” a lunchtime gabfest featuring beefy men in neon tank tops.

The gabfest at the Swiss ski resort, just a month after the latest U.N. climate conference, wasn’t likely to push forward the effort to battle global warming.

The World Economic Forum, which opens Tuesday and runs through Friday, is an annual gabfest of business, political and other elites in the Alpine snows of Davos, Switzerland.

Valderrama also carved out a niche in D.C.’s media landscape far removed from Sunday political gabfests: “The Slab Hour,” an internet radio show broadcast from a Georgia Avenue studio.

Familiarity — not anything newfangled — is what brings audiences back for seconds, or in the case of ABC’s gabfest, “The View,” 26ths.
