Colbert's interviews are bad. I don't know why she's so awkward around comedians like Bill Burr.

Josh Lyman posted:Colbert is the only late night show that has a political monologue. Jimmy Kimmel had a few high profile things with the Obamacare repeal but he doesn't do it regularly and when he does it's like 3 minutes. James Corden and Jimmy Fallon are of course useless, Seth Meyers' already terrible delivery comes with terrible writing, and Trevor Noah still doesn't have the bite of Jon Stewart. John Oliver is good but he's only weekly and his pieces aren't as satisfying as they were in earlier seasons. Seth meyers is always talking about trump

Seth Meyers coined the term "clapter" almost 10 years ago and now he's one of the foremost practitioners of that comedy style. If you can't beat 'em....

I've watched literally every single episode of Conan's TBS show since it started, but I don't regularly watch any other late night show. I'll watch clips, like I appreciated Jimmy Kimmel's response to the Las Vegas shooting and I'll watch clips of musical guests I like on other shows on YouTube. But there was a time when I used to watch Fallon, Conan, Colbert and The Daily Show every night they were on and that was long ago and now Conan's the only one of those I ever watch.

It's a bit strange that James Corden was the guy from the original History Boys cast who got the biggest career. Sure, Dominic Cooper's probably had the best acting career in terms of the roles he's had, and the others (Russell Tovey, Sam Anderson, Sacha Dhawan etc.) have all done other stuff, but Corden's definitely the one who's become most famous. What I've heard is that he's incredibly easily awed by famous people and is consequently a massive suck-up. Most people I know who are "clued-in" like John Oliver but I think he's a smug prick (I think that Brexit video he did unwittingly sums up why Remain lost, and I hope he still feels bad about begging Trump to run every week) so I've never been able to get into him. As far as late night talk shows go, I only really like Graham Norton.

Meyer is just a less evil Bill Maher. It's preaching to the choir in the least entertaining way. The worst part is probably the "Seth Meyer EVISCERATES Donald Trump" articles that won't go away. edit: articles, not videos Vegetable fucked around with this message at 14:02 on Nov 6, 2017 |

Rhyno posted:It really was. I seem to recall that Craig got sort of Jon Stewart hosed? Like he was in line for the Letterman time slot but they went to Colbert instead so Craig just said gently caress this poo poo and left. Ferguson never legitimately wanted the Late Show gig, primarily because he knew that he'd have to switch to a more standard "dad jokes and lovely interviews" format but also because he was tired of the schedule, but he was pretty forward-thinking about it: He still had it written into his contract that if Letterman quit, there would be a substantial contingency payout if he didn't get the job. He always said he was going to bail around the same time that Letterman did, but Letterman had no issue with that poison-pill bit of the contract. (Incidentally, all that is why CBS changed the contractual structure of Late Show; until the final extensions were signed, Worldwide Pants owned the shows, but Letterman and Ferguson were demanding that Late Late Show get a new set. In exchange for the increased budget, Worldwide Pants surrendered the ownership of both Late Show and Late Late Show.) Timby fucked around with this message at 16:57 on Nov 6, 2017 |

I'd still have taken Craig in a watered down format over Colbert any day though.

muscles like this! posted:IIRC there's been talk about how nobody cares about Late Night show ratings anymore and instead the networks only care about cutting them up and putting bits on Youtube that can be spun off into their own things. I've been very pleasantly surprised by how at least half of each episode of Last Week Tonight winds up on their YouTube channel after it airs. Its really heartening to something scummy like MLMs explained and eviscerated in a fun easily digestible 30 minute YouTube video that gets passed around of it's own volition and is way more of a net good then yet another "pee pee Doo Doo he is a bad president" monologue.

It doesn't matter about the "blogosphere," CBS has an extremely lucrative streaming contract with Netflix for countries outside of the US. The series literally paid for itself.

Because traditional network TV ad revenue is in the toilet so even if their CBS All Access gets only a fraction of the subscribers it's still more profitable. With Netflix underwriting most of the cost it makes sense on a business level, they're basically getting a competitor to underwrite them building their own streaming service and any money they make off of it is just icing.

Nobody made a Season 8 thread for Bob's Burgers? It looks like they're still leaning heavily into the "Kids A plot/Bob and Linda B plot" episode format. The best episodes are always the ones that have Bob pairing up with one of the kids- the most recent example was the one where he went with Gene to the laser light rock opera show. Also, I think Teddy is a third wheel more often than not. I don't think they should have bumped Larry Murphy to permanent cast member status. It's still a good show but it could be better.
