Members sheilaforever Posted September 5, 2010 Members Share Posted September 5, 2010 Funny enough, summer is always the time when I tend to watch more of the late night talkers... Fall/Winter is just too crowded with serials which I watch at the hours that Leno & Co. are on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted September 5, 2010 Members Share Posted September 5, 2010 Leno coasted on Johnny Carson's reputation and on a lack of real competition (Letterman has his moments but he is a very odd presence and that hyena Paul Shaffer even moreso) for a long time. Fallon and Kimmel -- I would rather watch a fish tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted September 5, 2010 Author Members Share Posted September 5, 2010 Letterman is desperate too: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/television/news/e3ic89e89e7caab635830f3a66cccdb434f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 5, 2010 Members Share Posted September 5, 2010 I really wonder what is going to change late night. Is it just going to slowly die, as daytime seems to be doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted September 5, 2010 Author Members Share Posted September 5, 2010 So far, it seems so. Why do you think Letterman is an "odd" presence? I'm intrigued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 5, 2010 Members Share Posted September 5, 2010 Weird, random jokes, just a nervous, strange presence, a sometimes disturbing undercurrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted September 5, 2010 Author Members Share Posted September 5, 2010 That's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted September 5, 2010 Members Share Posted September 5, 2010 I feel this way about Shaeffer. An odd side-kick. But I also never liked Andy Richter over at Conan, so maybe I don't like this type of co-host? BTW: I might be in the minority but I still like Jay's Tonight Show.

Members marceline Posted September 7, 2010 Members Share Posted September 7, 2010 Unlike daytime, late night is already in the process of changing. It's becoming more niche-oriented. We saw this with Monique, Wanda Sykes and George Lopez and I believe that only Wanda has been canceled, correct? I think we'll see another round or two of niche shows with various levels of success, then something will stick, be it Shatner's Raw Nerve, some Oprah project or a remake of a British property. Late night is still innovating so there's still hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted September 7, 2010 Members Share Posted September 7, 2010 Not one, not ONE! mention of Nightline. That aside, seeing Leno tank melts my heart. When another high profile celebrity passes away, I can't wait to see Nightline win the ratings war AGAIN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaytimeFan Posted October 18, 2010 Members Share Posted October 18, 2010 Honestly, the only hosts who seem to actually enjoy their jobs are Kimmell and Ferguson and Fallon, the three who have the least to lose. Leno and Letterman are tired hacks, they haven't had a hot moment in a decade. Off with their heads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted October 18, 2010 Members Share Posted October 18, 2010 I want Kimmel to stay put. If any other late-night show is placed before it, the ratings won't be there. People who watch Nightline watch Kimmel. Without Nightline, Kimmel's viewership will bleed. Fallon needs to be canned. And Ferguson needs a slightly larger set.
