摘 要自二十世纪八十年代以来,中美脱口秀节目均取得了巨大的发展。很多学者曾讨论过两国脱口秀在幽默表达方面的差异,但是从具体的节目形式、内容、表达等方面进行比较与分析中美脱口秀的文献较少。本文以典型的中国脱口秀节目和美国脱口秀节目为代表,从节目形式与表达两个方面对两国的脱口秀节目的差异进行比较和对比分析。此研究对本土电视脱口秀节目的不足之处和改进有一定的启发,并对挖掘美国脱口秀节目在主持人品牌效应方面有重要的借鉴意义。关键词:中国脱口秀;美国脱口秀;差异AbstractSince 1980s, talk shows have gained great development in both America and China.
