It's a piece of JUNK!

Further to that with another example, I think there's no way Wright could get as many laughs from "saved by the buoyancy of citrus" that Hedberg got. Like, it's not an outright funny line by itself, but Mitch had this way of seemingly sounding stoned and dumb with his tone, and counterbalancing that with smarter language. No dumb stoner would say "buoyancy of citrus".

Yeah definitely. They're both very "dry" and conceptually similar, but Wright is way more deadpan, to put it mildly.

I would add another comedian who could pull off these absurdist one-liner jokes is Demetri Martin.

Colbert's monologue felt even more edited than usual, I wonder if it's because Iran started blowing up stuff like a minute after the taping.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
Jim Gaffigan made an attempt on Ike's life. I for real thought it would be destroyed. Is it not ceramic?

By the way, ten years ago we were entering the final week of Conan’s Tonight Show. I recently rewatched my own recordings and had wanted to figure out a way to stream those final three weeks of shows this month but, well, I never did

So just remember them i guess and reflect quietly to yourself. Because NBC is faaaar too shite to ever ever put them online.

It had a great ripple effect for both Kimmel and Letterman, IIRC.

The best was Leno setting up a "Hey, we're all friends here, right? [chinswagger]" bit with Kimmel, and Kimmel burned him.https://dai.ly/xbvc97

I remember the episode but now the main story. It would have been early October since the topic of the burn was the NBA kowtowing to China over the Rockets GM supporting HK.

Colbert's interview with John Mulaney last night got surprisingly deep and low-key. For a few minutes it felt more like the kind of interview you'd get on a podcast.

For just about everything. Some get a pass for being charmingly bad and over the top but there are loads that look pretty terrible, even for late in the day visual gags. The only other current show I can think of with low quality photoshops is Jim Jeffries' show but I haven't watched it in over a year so it might've gotten better.

I enjoyed it at first but dropped off fairly quickly. I forgot it existed since the Avi Yemini interview last year. He's a great standup but we didn't need his version of the Daily Show.

Originally going to go ahead with shows but without audiences, three of the big four network late night shows will go on a hiatus through at least March 29th.

NBC’s shows were planned to go on regularly-scheduled break the week of March 23, and Colbert was going to be dark after tonight’s taping through next week. But after taping an episode without an audience tonight, Fallon will enter hiatus starting tomorrow.

https://twitter.com/fallontonight/status/1238276798405894145?s=21

Meyers canceled today’s taping, and will air a rerun tonight, but did record an A Closer Look segment for digital consumption:

So that's what's going on with Colbert tonight?? He looks to be having some kind of awkward blast and or drunk. It's almost like none of his jokes are landing even though I'm laughing. It reminds me of when John Oliver hosted that one Daily Show when all the power in New York went out. Craig Ferguson would so be in his element hosting a show like this on the fly. It's weird not hearing even the camera guys cheer or anything like they would in Talk Soup or something.

Well partially just y'know, no audience energy. Things seem funnier when other people are laughing. But also it seems like it was half rehearsal, half "we're actually gonna air this" and nobody was entirely sure.

NBC announced a couple hours ago that, starting Monday, local stations have clearance to run 1-hour late newscasts and bump the start of Tonight/Late Night/etc back 25:30

quote:

Type : Feed
Posted (ET) : March 13, 2020 07:55:59 PM
Message :
Expanded Late Local News Offering: Effective Monday, 3/16 all stations will have the option to do a 1-hour Late Local News and clear a delayed feed of the Late Night/All-Night program package. Optional delayed Late Night program feeds are available at 12:00mid ET, 11:00pm MT, and 12:00mid PT. Program timings and formats for the delayed feed will be the same as the normal late night feeds. If you wish to clear a delayed Late Night/All-Night program feed package please advise your NBC Clearance Representative and your SECONDARY receiver will be switched. Operational guidance: the delayed feed must be cleared as a package so if it pushes the end time of Today-AN beyond your normal start time of Early Today please plan to locally leave Today-AN in-progress (with a local LIP announce) and switch to your PRIMARY receiver where you will find your normal feed of Early Today beginning on time. Anticipate this offering to be available for at least 2-3 weeks, possibly longer.

At this time APT has been updated to reflect this feed package under contingencies on Monday, 3/16 through Thursday, 3/19. Contingencies on additional dates will be available in APT on Monday 3/16.
