period is seeing the background when people do interviews on a news show. Seeing just one corner of where they live makes these TV personalities much more real 3 dimensional people for me. I can't get enough of it.

Agreed.
I find myself focusing less on the speaker, and more on the books in the background. I'm certain some of those tomes were placed there for effect. Trevor Noah even replaced his original background with some "book-shaped place-savers," not as an attempt to fool anyone, but simply to tell us "Don't even bother trying to learn what books are in my library."
I loaned my copy of "Origins of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind" by Julian James - now I wish I had it back simply to appear behind me in my video calls.

I either have a background of way too many bottles of wine or a bunch of pine trees (either through the window or on the deck). The trees generally elicit more comments than the wine. We mainly use Teams now so a bunch of people are using fake backgrounds but it kind of looks like a bad psychedelic movie from the 70s. I prefer getting a peek into people's homes.

My favorite was Arnold Schwarzenegger. It was refreshing to see that he has a messy kitchen just like all the rest of us.
