My confusion is how do the commentators just change their tone so quickly and seemingly so easily? Is the paycheck the only reason they go to work?

Most if not all of the talking heads were, are or could be actors/entertainers.

So it is very easy for them to change seemingly easy to keep those big paychecks coming in.
