raditts posted:Craig would never have taken the Late Show spot. Yeah, I think the way things worked out for him in getting that 6 (or 10?) million provision for being passed over was the best possibly situation for Craig. CBS would have never allowed him to get away with half of what we came to love him for on the LLS, and he would've ended up hating it.

In addition to having to be blander due to the earlier time slot, he'd have to work directly for CBS instead of for Dave and WWP, who let him do whatever the gently caress he wanted.

Dr Tran posted:"We Are High" was Thursday That's right. On my DVR it didn't change at all, it just said "what did we learn on the show the last 10 years tonight Craig?" and then went to Craig introducing Secretariat.

It's in the top 100 on Amazon right now, and is currently the number 1 most downloaded track in the Rock category.

I'd love to revisit that quote in five years just to laugh about how wrong it was. Colbert's not going to be the next great anything.

Robnoxious posted:Not bad for a send off that one writer on NPR.org said (in comparison to Colbert) "One birthed a future star of the genre and another ended as a noble experiment which never quite lived up to its potential" Well, I dunno. I think Colbert did okay, potential-wise.

Special shout-out to Mary McCormack moonwalking in high-heels while holding the snake mug. Also, who is it in the field with the drums and the dancing girl?

Irish Joe posted:I'd love to revisit that quote in five years just to laugh about how wrong it was. Colbert's not going to be the next great anything. I'm really looking forward to seeing what he'll do. We went to a taping of Colbert Report last year, went through all the same things any other audience would until Stephen came out casually dressed and told us that the taping wasn't going ahead as the episode was a taped interview with Bill Clinton on Saturday. But they still went through all the rigmarole for us (which was cool) and we watched the episode with Stephen. As an apology, he said rather than doing a few minutes of Q&A we'd do a bunch during each ad break instead. As much as I love Colbert the character, Colbert the person is just on another level and the audience were hanging on his every word. Maybe his style will clash with what the brass want, but it'll be at the very least interesting. ---- With regards to Craig, is there any list anywhere of particularly excellent episodes? I'd like to put a little collection together just out of guilt for not having time to watch late night at all really this year (I've got the last week ready to watch at least), and there's bound to be some great times over the last 5 or 6 years that are easy enough to dig up. I particularly remember the WIlford Brimley episode being superb (11/23/11 with Ty Burrell as lead guest) as well as the Stephen Fry interview that had no audience. I'm sure there's *lots* of great pinpointed moments of the show. (I grabbed that 9 hour best of to watch, but Craig works best as an episode in it's whole I find rather than clips).

People who haven't seen Colbert out of character enough who think he won't be a slam dunk late night host just haven't seen him work, because the guy is an incredible interviewer, he's always funny and charismatic and a super nice guy. He's perfect. If you wanna see him do a killer interview, watch his interview with Neil DeGrasse-Tyson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXh9RQCvxmg Craig is a brilliant interview as well, but Colbert really is about as good as he is.

My favorite craig moment would be where he just straight up goes "I'm not making fun of Britney for being nuts, because I've been there" and tells the story of what finally drove him to rock bottom. It's not funny, its just straight up heartfelt and hopeful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZVWIELHQQY

The Brittany monologue is pretty great, but I'll go back even further and heap praise upon the monologue he gave in January 2006, eulogizing his father. http://youtu.be/oo_9IF_8mtI?list=PL2FF9A81914E1819A http://youtu.be/veZSUPUwdv4?list=PL2FF9A81914E1819A

Actually, according to his book, that was when he found his voice for the show, if I recall properly. I think it was Peter Lassally or somebody who came up to him after that and said 'more of that' in a kind of 'be who you are, make this your own' way. Before that, he was the 'cheeky monkey' guy, I think.

No idea what the contracts say, but considering that most full LLS eps are still on YouTube, AND Craig more or less acknowledged on the finale that the show was cool with it if not outright doing it themselves, AND the whole thing is owned by Dave/Worldwide Pants...maybe The Late Late Show will truly live on in (semi-official) online streaming of its archives.

And this coming from a long time Letterman fan. it sounds dumb but I think that at least some of it was probably just Letterman wanting to outlast Leno, even if it meant lessening the legacy he would've had if he'd left when he should have. he's never really struck me as the Leno work-until-I-die type of guy. like that might be there to some degree but not enough to justify going on with a show he clearly stopped caring about years ago.

The couple of times he had Lauren Graham doing puppets with him are some of the funniest moments I can remember. I guess once Geoff came along and became a regular character they became a bit much though.
