During a "Brooks and Capehart" segment, New York Times columnist David Brooks claimed he has never watched a reality television show in his life. Jonathan Capehart countered by admitting his love for "RuPaul's Drag Race." The hosts analyze this exchange as a sign of Brooks' elitist detachment and reminisce about early public access and cable shows like "Ugly George" and Al Goldstein's "Midnight Blue."

A European reality television production in New York City involves a scout recruiting potential supermodels directly off the street for auditions with brands like Revlon and Avon.
