On Jake Tapper’s show The Lead today, the set was mostly purple, his tie that color too, and even the lights in the control room were purple shining down on the white-shirted guys in there. Soon purple will be mandatory for all guests, the hosts too, and perhaps even purple make-up for all, what a scene, like Ben Stiller at the Oscars in Avatar garb saying “this seemed like such a good idea in rehearsal.”
