Irrelevant artists

Have you noticed that the guests who make the rounds of talk shows are generally authors, comedians, actors, politicians and a few scientists?
Visual artists are conspicuously absent, though TV is a visual medium. Visual art would have a direct impact on viewers, certainly beyond that of a book no one has yet read.
Does that mean artists have nothing meaningful to say? Or they have no product to hawk? Or they haven’t reached celebrity status? Or they artist just irrelevant?
