The Late Night TV Thread

[Dev]

Does anyone else hate the Colbert show as much as I do? It is zero fun to watch.

Taking nominations for favorite late night host.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

[Bammer]

I absolutely loved Jay Leno there for a while.

Nope. I am not ashamed.

Ultimately, all late night TV is safe, easy comedy for people to fall asleep to, but Letterman was the best by a mile.

I feel like Jimmy Fallon is the best choice for this type of show. I don’t usually watch these shows but if I do it’ll be on a Friday or Saturday Night when I’ve had a couple beers and weed and watching clips. Fallon is really good at bringing the best out of his guests and making it fun. Maybe it’s the SNL experience. You sacrifice some of the politics with him but he’s just better suited for that show I think. I think he’s good at making the show about more than himself.

I LOVED the Colbert Report but his late night show is boring to me. No desire to even see highlights.

Colbert actually interviews people. Fallon is just....ew.

Colbert is great. He's smart, he's bitter, and can be pretty goddamn funny.

Colbert was a perfect choice to replace Letterman.

I watch Colbert regularly and i love him and his interviews. His obama interview was top notch.

I don’t really disagree. I don’t wanna see Fallon interview anyone of importance. Colbert can. But that’s not really what a variety show at 11:35pm is mostly focused on? It’s a variety show. Fallon has that skill, a little weak on what Colbert is strongest on. But Colbert weaker on the point of the overall show. In my opinion.

[Norah]

Ferguson was the best interviewer too.
