Answer:

Yes, there is a high chance that this sample is biased since our pool of participants is not random.

Explanation:

The population from which the talk show host drew is not representative of the entire country's population. Being a part of the live studio audience, these viewers are not considered a random sample and may be influenced by the opinions of the talk show due to response bias, specifically a desire to please bias.
