If not for Trump's blatant misogyny, I would have taken more pleasure in Trump inflicting pain on Fox News the same way he inflicted pain on the GOP.

This is the big push. If ratings don't improve I imagine there will be some retooling over the summer.

The Super Bowl special was great. Stephen should have had the Australian gal ask a sports question to that Denver player though  I also found it interesting that Megyn Kelly didn't totally reject the label of "feminist".

Why do they have to get rid of the other guests when they bring in a new one? I want to see Tina Fey, Margot Robbie, Will Ferrell and Colbert just riffing off each other over a loving duck.

I enjoyed that repotose between Colbert and O'Rieley. I think they both stumbled over each other enough for it to be funny yet vital discussion. E; Prerty sure I've seen the girl wearing the "reparations" shirt at a slam poetry night I used to go to. M_Gargantua fucked around with this message at 06:34 on Feb 9, 2016 |

I guess I mean the same way I could watch Noah, Wilmore, or Colbert free the next day. I guess I'll settle for whatever clips they put out.

Giving Colbert the post-Super Bowl slot was the big push, and I feel like they dropped the ball -- Colbert was painfully awkward in the beginning, constantly asking about going to satellite, and I have no idea what the gently caress was going on with Will Ferrell's take on stupid pet tricks. I'm not saying they're going to pull an NBC and shank him like they did Conan, but if the ratings don't improve during the summer (I believe that was always the time period when Letterman would actually beat Leno) then I suspect they'd be considering their options.

There's no way that they drop Colbert after less than a year especially considering the increasing irrelevance of late night shows in the first place firing Conan was a loving disaster on literally every level (financial, ratings-wise, perception, scheduling-wise) for NBC, there's no loving way that CBS would see that and go "yeah we want some of that". they have nobody waiting in the wings to replace colbert anyways, he was and is the smartest possible pickup for CBS to fill the position

You realize that the satellite interview with Jim Nantz and Von Miller was scheduled in that beginning spot when he was asking about it, but instead they had to push it to during the Fey/Robbie interview? And the Ferrell bit was amazing.

The Ferrell segment was somewhat less humorous because most of the animals were scared shitless.

You can't compare the ratings of a 6-month run of a first time Tonight Show host to the ratings of the dude who hosted the Tonight Show for the second-longest length of time, especially when the former's numbers were deflated due to literally having the lead-in of a talk show of the latter. it's a dumb comparison on every level retrospectively speaking it was a massive mistake on NBC's part. the fallon success is surprisingly good, and he wildly overperformed in ratings (he actually increased off the back of leno) but there's so many different exceptions to conan's run of tonight show that a straight-up comparison is impossible, and NBC lost a ton of ratings, audience respect, and most importantly money off of the fiasco the way NBC handled leno/conan was a huge object lesson in how not to treat your late night hosts

Leno absolutely sunk Conan without giving him a chance. But let's be real, Conan never would have hit Leno's numbers much less the numbers that Fallon is hitting. Conan just doesn't connect with as many people and to his credit wasn't willing to change his style enough to connect. Eventually the network would have forced him to change and then he'd just alienate his fans and still wouldn't connect with a larger audience. As big as a clusterfuck as it was at the time and lovely as the situation was I have to imagine everyone is right now at a better place than would have been if Conan had been kept. I think he's perfectly happy with the freedom he gets at TBS now and he never would have gotten a fraction of that in the 11:30 spot on NBC.

Conan was at his best during the last bit of the Tonight Show. I stuck with him for awhile after he moved to TBS but I just found it boring and formulaic.

Conan on location is always a guaranteed win. Loving the increased frequency of the remotes here lately. Keep them coming, I say. Also...Anytime Corden brings his parent's on the show, I soon after feel like an rear end for smack talking him so much. They are such lovely people and I can't help but smile everytime they're on. I just wish Corden would play to his strengths more and stop trying to be the British alternative to Fallon's "hip" millennial pandering.

Bernie was on Colbert last night. And somehow was the second guest behind Ben Stiller. But he popped in for intro jokes. And then later Colbert made a lot of sandwich puns because someone on MSNBC called him Bernie Sandwiches by accident.
