The Late Night Talk Show Thread TV Show • Page 4

Yeah and apparently it's like the #1 late show on cable which baffles me haha

Also makes it that much more sketchy that Paramount cancelled it "for financial reasons"

 

It is doubtful it is political. They already cut their 12:30 show. It just isn't worth the money anymore. The others will retire or get fired or take big salary cuts.

Colbert is a very thoughtful, intelligent, funny person but the show was the most boring thing he has done.

 

I wonder if Taylor Tomlinson was seeing the writing on the wall and decided to end After Midnight before it got canned. It was pretty solid show with basically no competition.

 

The whole 5-minute couch interview promoting whatever plus monologue with inane daily chatter model is just dead imo. it seems like maybe john mulaney is at least trying to shake it up but I m sadly immune to his charms

 

Do people stay up to watch late night shows anymore, or just the clips the next day?

Back in my day..... (up hill, both ways, in the snow...) you had to watch arsenio/letterman/leno or you missed it. There was no replay the next day, so times have changed.

 

John Mulaney show is good

 

That is what is so weird about these shows. People who have to be at work at 8 or 9 in the morning are not going to be able to watch it, but young people with flexible schedules are not planning their lives at being home around that time either. It is just a relic of an earlier era. They have survived off of going viral.

 

Even us - We used to watch Seth Myers clips on youtube, and sometimes we may watch John Oliver or something else...

But man - I used to look at the listing for the week to see what musical guest would be on (or actor/actress) and Id stay up for it....

I think you are right though, its just a relic - Seth has a podcast, Conan too... they all do. Is that our future now? (or is it the present...)

 

As for his show.... I havent been able to watch the whole thing in one sitting. I think he is VERY funny.... Just not in this element.
