Seth Meyers is sitting for his monologues now!

"Ladies and gentlemen, THIS is a talk show dying right in front of you!"

Since its inception 18 months ago, Meyers' Late Night has completely remodeled their set (with a major revision to the band area prior to the new set,) shortened the opening theme, altered the loving format to a sitting monologue which is more reminiscent of a warmed-over Weekend Update rehearsal than a monologue, and the bandleader has been absent roughly 12 of those 18 months.

...yeah, things aren't going too well for the show.

According to Variety it's going to be George Clooney.

http://variety.com/2015/tv/news/stephen-colbert-trump-musical-guest-cbs-tca-1201567110/

one of the best bits from the article

quote:

“Daily Show” producers asked Colbert to deliver an on-air thank you to Stewart — something he knew would make Stewart squirm.

“I told producers he’s going flop around like a fish on the dock,” he said. “I felt like a rodeo clown trying to keep him on the stage.”

Afterwards, when the “Daily Show” alumni correspondents gathered around him in a big bear hug, Colbert revealed: “We were all chanting ‘Made him cry,'” he said. “It might be my favorite thing I did on the show.”

also some talk about the renovation of the Ed Sullivan Theater

quote:

He did offer insight into the remodeling of the Ed Sullivan Theater, which has been restored to highlight the venue’s original 1920s architecture. He said it looks more like a traditional Broadway theater now rather than a TV studio because production technology has improved so much that sound and lighting equipment doesn’t need to be as prominent.

Colbert said he spent a day in the office with David Letterman about 10 days before Letterman signed off the show in May. Colbert asked Letterman a barrage of questions about doing the show. The two put away a few bottles of water during the process (“the hard stuff,” he joked).

At one point, “I asked him do you mind me asking you these questions? He said ‘No. Nobody ever asked me these questions before.’ It was a very gracious way for him to say that only the person sitting in that chair would care about the answers.”

At Letterman’s suggestion, Colbert has moved the desk on the set to the other side of the stage, he added.

Colbert also said Letterman made a point of showing him how to operate the brass-handled freight elevator that Letterman used to go from his office to the “Late Show” stage floor. The symbolism was not lost on Colbert. He said ‘there it is. Now it’s waiting for you.’ “

I'm actually kinda excited for it now. Conan's been off and on the past few weeks following Comic-Con- the interview with Ice Cube and his son was very good, though. I don't even bother looking at Fallon or Kimmel these days. Colbert and Noah will bring some good stuff, I think.

Carson Daly should strike while that failure iron is hot!

Or, do nothing and let Seth sink into the murky brine because Carson has other things more important than 1:36am horseshit.

Far more better than Seth has on his plate.

A vision. A picture in my head. A picture of this.
My guess is that Seth only got that gig so that NBC (with Lorne Michael's blessing) could hold onto him until Lorne finally decides to retire, so that he'll be available to take over for him.

quick interview with jay leno http://www.tvinsider.com/article/34180/jay-leno-on-his-tv-return-the-current-late-night-landscape-and-why-he-didnt-do-dave/

quote:

I think that’s Jimmy Kimmel’s problem. I think he’s a talented guy, I think he’s funny. But he has a mean streak, and it comes across. He does this thing where he takes Halloween candy from kids and the kids cry. What am I missing here? It is funny I guess, but it’s mean-based. I think that’s why he’s not higher in the ratings.

I'm a girl, and you're

I don't care for Kimmel because I've always felt like he's an outsider desperately trying to act like he's one of the gang, especially when he forcibly inserted himself in the Conan/Leno/Letterman drama years ago. He's been around long enough now this opinion is probably pretty outdated though, considering he's the longest running current late night host.

I always thought that Leno's Jay Walking segments were far, far meaner than anything Kimmel ever did. We're going to ask you 200 questions, and then air the 3 you didn't get right so you look literally retarded. This is hilarious.

Kimmel's prerecorded stuff is really good + funny

his interviews can be downright painful though. He got Dave on his goddamn show- who never goes ANYWHERE- and the interview was just horrid and awkward in a not fun way.

Kimmel is like the boss' nephew who is given a job in your department to keep him out of trouble. He doesn't do much and usually just gets in the way, but you can't report him because, you know, he's the boss' nephew.

gently caress, did Conan retire this past weekend?

Agreed with your second point though. Jaywalking took Steve Allen's routine and said, "hey, what if we approach this like horrible tools? eh, eh?"

The real cynicism of Jaywalking was that you knew people were playing it up for the camera. If you don't act like you can't add 2+2, you don't get on TV. Play it right, and you can be a Jaywalking All-Star!! :haw:

Yeah the entire Seth Meyers Late Night experiment seems awful. For whatever you think of Fallon, at least he rolled up his sleeves, got the right people in there and made a show that was new and fit him. I think it worked a lot better at 12:30 but that is NBC for you. Jimmy is that retarded cousin you have that you can't stand him 90% of the time but he is just so happy all the time that other 10% of the time makes him endearing. Seth is your coworker who is straight laced enough that makes upper management love him but lacks any sort of edge or anything interesting to connect with anyone he works with. You know the guy who will come up to you and ask you about the "big game" even though you know nothing about sports and then spend 10 minutes talking about how wonderful his life and family are, yet sounds like the worst place in hell to you?

I think Jimmy surrounded himself with the best people to do a show with, Seth surrounded himself with his friends and it shows.

I think we've just reached the quota for late-night hosts doing the exact same shtick without changing the formular: Conan and Kimmel are enough. I'm kinda glad Meyers is failing, because the format has been in dire need for reinvention for a long time. Consider that the New York Times dedicated an ENTIRE article to the "news" that Meyers will no do his monologues sitting. US late night is ridiculous.

It's going to be interesting to see how well Colbert manages to stand out. I don't really have any expectations for his show, but we know he's talented and knows his improv.
