DMCA, complaints, and other inquiries:
I liked Conan but always understood that his humor was a bit too niche for older viewers. Dug when Letterman would get openly annoyed with a guest and just start trashing them.
Of the current late night hosts, everyone shits on Colbert & Corden but Seth Myers' show is the worst fucking thing I've ever seen. It's like Patrick's twitter feed - every joke is Republicans bad and America oppresses marginalized communities. Seth has zero charm or charisma to appeal to Midwestern housewives, stone faced telling joke after joke after joke like he's dishing out North Korean propaganda. But nobody has ever watched his stupid show to validate my opinions how awful it is.
Which goes against the idea that Leno is some kind of Alpha. An Alpha would've said. "Fuck you" and gone to Fox. Leno is just as much, if not more, of a sniveling "But the Tonight Show's an institution!" homo as Conan.Conan undermined Jay to begin with, though. He threatened to leave, and the execs told him in five years he could have the show he wanted. Jay went along with it; if he left the network for another one to compete head-to-head he really would have fucked Conan.
I only know those dancing Itos for the brief reference in that People vs OJ series, and the fact that one of those dancers played the Asian inmate who helped get Cyril O’Reilly on death row in Oz.I used to like those dancing Itos when I was a kid. That's about the only Leno bit I remember.
Leno knew the audience he needed so the humor was broad and like many pointed out wasn’t leaning one way politically. When he was on I thought he was corny but looking back it makes sense since he got the top ratings. I liked Letterman more because of his humor and if he was stuck with a shit guest (Paris Hilton comes to mind) he would give them enough rope to hang themselves. Ferguson was underrated and the kind of late-late show you wanted to see where the host treated it like he was doing whatever he wanted because since it was late the network wouldn’t notice. Conan’s 1230 show was great but his humor was too niche / inside to work on the tonight show.
That being said, late night TV in 2021 is beyond awful. The fact that politicians and CNN / MSNBC hosts are GUESTS show how far they have fallen. Who the fuck wants to watch Brian Stelter or Rachel Maddow as a guest when they barely get ratings for their own shows? “Tonight on Colbert - Senator Corey Booker!” - WHY?!?!?! The only host that isn’t 100% left wing douche is Fallon and he tries to safe like Leno but his act of being super excited for EVERY guest (oh my god! I can’t believe you’re here!) has become obvious and stale. He was known on SNL for being the one to fuck up and laugh in every skit. I’ve heard he’s a big drunk mess off set which makes me like him a little.
Late night talkshows were nothing but propaganda for each network. You could sell the show as basically advertising space for upcoming movies. So some movie pays the network for a slot on late night and sends the lead actor or actress to promote some stupid movie or television show. You basically are just watching commercials with ad breaks in between them. Someone makes a new music album they use the late night shows to promote it. And the networks promote the people that are connected to their own movie studios and record labels.i have never understood the "late night talkshow" as a concept. None of them are funny and who the fuck wants to listen to faggot actors being interviewed and bad music guests
Chin single, brothermen.
Then he stopped. He was never so wrong about a person.I want to saw I like him but he booked Norton alot
Not even that great of an institution. I dare any of you shitdicks to make it through 10 minutes of Johnny Carson's Tonight Show.
