Pundit Light

Okay kiddo, let me tell you about pundit light. Have you ever watched a news show on TV where there are people talking about what's happening in the world? Those people are called pundits. They're experts in different areas and they give their opinions on what's going on.

Now, sometimes the TV station wants to make the pundit look really good, so they'll use something called pundit light. This is special lighting that makes the pundit look extra good on TV. They might use bright lights to make their face look smooth or they might use soft lighting to make them look more friendly.

But why do they need to use special lights? Well, TV cameras can make people look different than they do in real life. They can make people look tired or old or just not very good. So, the TV station uses pundit light to make sure the pundit looks their best so people will listen to what they have to say.

In short, pundit light is special lighting that makes people on TV look good so they can share their expert opinions with us.
