Arent Late-Night shows glorified ads?

I've never watched more than 5', mostly funny interview-clips, and its mostly actors or authors who are promoting their latest work. But that might be my ignorance and uninformedness

And mostly scripted ads at that? I never really watch them either, but they don't feel like the spontaneous conversations they appear to be, just scripted ads and rehearsed bits
