FTA-TV Late Shows - Mega Thread

I will miss Craig

he makes me laugh every night

Dave used to be great but hasn't been for years…. Jimmy Fallon is well packaged by the network… his musical skits with the roots crew are the highlight

He is one of the greatest monologue practitioners in comedy - and he would have done it all himself

Fallon

Yeah, I'm not sure about him yet. I'll have to watch a bit more, but I keep forgetting, because I'm not in the habit of watching ABC 2,

 

[JUBJUB]

Letterman finishes up on May 20th next year

Fergie finishes next friday in the USA [will air monday 22nd here].In todays Green Guide it mentions that will be the last episode to air on Eleven.At this stage they aren't going to show the guest fill-in hosts for 3 months or the new host,James Corden,when he starts in march.

Colbert ends next thursday [friday night here]

what a bittersweet 24 hours

 

[raven echo]

I like Fallon.

My vote would be for Jon Stewart though.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Ferguson has been killing it lately. He's really finishing off strong, which is great, but it also makes him leaving all the harder to accept..

 

[happy_eagle]

Fallon's interviews are pretty terrible, especially with his fake laughter and enthusiasm
He does however do great segments/games with the guests. In fact the lip sync battle that he does from time to time is actually being made into its own tv show

Dont see much of Kimmel but he appears to be a much better interviewer

 

[bok_party]

One more episode left of Colbert

Going to be interesting to see how James Corden goes with the Late Late show

I reckon he'll bomb big time

I reckon he'll bomb big time

Americans can be a be a bit hostile towards Brits coming to their country and having shows (eg Piers Morgan)
It even took a while for them to warm to Craig Ferguson

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Piers Morgan did dumb stuff like tweet about cricket endlessly. A sport Americans don't know or give a s**t about.

 

[happy_eagle]

Even still, Gervais roasting Celebs at the Golden Globes didnt go down to well
Think Corden will have a tough time winning the support of Americans
Having said that, his main competition at this time-slot will be Seth Myers who seems to be a bust

but Ferguson was known to US viewers prior to him taking over the show.Corden isn't.
Having seen Corden on Colbert last week and at the start and end of last nights Fergie,that girlie giggle he has is going to be off putting.

He'll have a massive lead in with Letterman finishing up, then Colbert debuting too.

 

[raven echo]

I know it's not a traditional late show but I love Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

 

[Marlowe]

John Oliver's show is the bomb.

Really? They asked him back to do it a second and third time!

 

[Warsaw]

What a brilliant Colbert finale.

Not sure if we'll ever get a performance like that over a period of time that could even come close to Colbert's run. Certainly nowhere as amazing.

Goodbye Stephen Colbert

The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore begins on January 19th

 

[Ochre]

Just watched Craig's last show. It's perfect.

 

[alfy!]

Just watched Craig's last show. It's perfect.

I was actually pretty disappointed.

I was actually pretty disappointed.

Eh, too each their own, I didn't like Leno as a guest but the rest was great.
