When I watched the program over break, I did notice quite a few times in
the audience that there were some black people, Asian-heritage people,
and quite a few attractive women.

Besides I don't think you can necessarily translate the composition of

audience out there. I also don't think that the composition of the
audience should matter to you unless you're an advertising executive.
