myron cope posted:It's crazy to me how great of a band The Roots is. Have you ever seen them live? They are incredible and anybody who is even a casual fan needs to check out at least one of their shows. YouTube videos (or even pro videos) don't really do the shows justice either.

bobkatt013 posted:Yeah I have seen them live, and they were one of the best shows of I have ever seen. They made me feel like I shouldn't even bother trying to play my own instruments any more because I could only bring shame compared to how well The Roots could be playing them instead. This is sort of a joke and sort of not. Also Tariq/Black Thought live and Tariq during the Fallon show are considerably different creatures.

Brock Samson posted:Roger Corman is still alive and making movies? Jesus Christ. Yeah, I saw him a couple of years ago. He still has the whole speech on how to make a film on the cheap down cold. He also still has money to finance films so he mostly does that and then gives some advice to the director and maybe does a set visit at some point. He'll probably die on the set of "Invasion of the Topless Shark Women" just the way he wants to, and his funeral will come in under budget because they will reuse existing materials for it.

DivisionPost posted:Conan's first couple of years were rough. Jimmy Fallon's first run might as well have been "Late Night With Jimmy's Flopsweat." I've got no doubt that Corden's going to suck out of the gate, but that in no way precludes a great show down the line. This is just mean and needlessly hurtful. I think that's actually part of the process though. You're put through the wringer. Conan was constantly about to be fired. Fallon was a punchline. The whole process of trial by fire was hilariously played up in "Louie". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwUmXT3RJCM

EngineerJoe posted:I'm surprised to see all the red white and blue. I would think he would want to distance himself from his old character. Yeah that looks horrible to me. I know I wasn't the target audience, but as a Canadian, I was rarely interested in Colbert because his show was mostly about some senator from Arkansas or whatever. That set looks like a continuation of that tradition. Great for US fans I guess though.

Jean Batiste is the guy that your dorky band teacher is really excited about and nobody else. Also Colbert's show is transparently for sale (wtf was that Tim Cook thing except for an ad?). I'll check back in a few months from now, but this show is just sad for me to watch right now. I'm sure there's a huge market for this kind of thing, but I'm definitely not it. One thing though: I actually liked the silly video effects they used for The Dead Weather.

Diabolik900 posted:So would it be better if it was one of the engineers who actually built it rather than the CEO? If the engineer actually had a personality, yes. I understand the guests are all selling poo poo, but if the person doing the sales pitch obviously has no business being on the format otherwise, it comes across as extra corporate and creepy. Also I thought Colbert was supposed to be some sort of alternative voice instead of pitching softballs at a guy who runs a gigantic mega-corporation with a sketchy history but admittedly I'm not very familiar with Colbert in the first place so maybe I'm just mistaken there entirely.

Mister Kingdom posted:I don't think I've ever seen a melodica or even a tuba in a late night band. "Tuba Gooding Jr." (Damon Bryson) from The Roots has always been there with Fallon and does the foghorn sound effect all the time.  Technically he's playing a sousaphone, but whatever. He even has one that is jet black and at Roots live shows he often gets a solo and it's actually pretty awesome. Deep Hurting posted:You don't think that might be interesting? Nope, not really. He's more about spreadsheets than cinema (which is important, but not something I need to hear about on late night TV). InfiniteZero fucked around with this message at 04:30 on Sep 17, 2015 |

Yeah, there are actual singers who have sung with Eddie Vedder and ended up looking foolish. See for example Roger Waters doing "Comfortably Numb" with Eddie Vedder: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNsxGSfK-lU (check out the reaction of the band member standing behind Vedder when he starts singing for extra laughs) InfiniteZero fucked around with this message at 17:38 on Sep 29, 2015 |

Ur Getting Fatter posted:I wonder if Colbert would do better with a format closer to Samantha Bee's, where she almost exclusively focuses on politics/social commentary and doesn't really have guests or any of the traditional talk-show trappings. This is a good idea. They could call it The Colbert Report. But seriously: the future of late night is the YouTube stuff. I understand that he's got other obligations and doesn't need it yet, but the natural fit for a show would be Andy Samberg (assuming the other LI guys follow).

David Duchovny is really cool and makes any talk show better.

Timby posted:If this keeps up he should be ahead of Fallon in the key demo by mid-summer. Not a huge factor, but I'm not sure if the borderline smooth jazz sound from Jon Batiste and Stay Human won't hurt a bit with that demo. That kind of jazz really says "Dad" to a lot of the younger demo. Now, are they really tuning in and care about the house band? Probably not. Does it set a tone that might be off putting to some of that demo? Probably.

Steve Vader posted:However, once this long national nightmare is over and we don't have to monitor the president 24-7 to make sure we all don't die, Fallon's brand of whimsy will likely make a come back. It remains to be seen if NBC wants to play the long game. Agreed. The stakes of regular life have been raised beyond being able to appreciate somebody consciously trying to be irrelevant outside of the boundaries of his own show.

Vegetable posted:It seems to me like Netflix should really have a daily talk show and of course they should get Craig If you've seen Ferguson on a recent comedy tour, he often explains that he has zero interest in doing another show and zero interest in working with Netflix on comedy specials or anything like that and that he's perfectly happy just doing live shows now. This is both sad because it means catching Ferguson is hard to do but good because his whole "I'm sick of this bullshit" thing wasn't just a shtick and he's doing something about it and he's earned it.

Fallon was a casualty of the 2016 election and likely won't recover. He tussled his way to the downfall of his late-night career and should have known that a guy like Colbert was ready to take over. I really have no sympathy for him but I am sad for The Roots who were the innocent bystanders of Fallon's moronic brand.
