Question: Why do commentators keep their mic in frame now? It’s.. not important.. but weird to me. Is it a trend? Drew does it.. it all started about 18 months ago.
Conan's empathy is unmatched both in the literal sense but also in a comedic sense - he cares about the comedy most of all, reminds me of Norm Macdonald at times (perhaps why he loved him as a guest) - He wants the funniest thing to happen even if it's somehow detrimental to himself. And that's just respect for the craft. I think he respects the talent around him and wants them to succeed as well, if he can help it.
For real. Conan is likeable, credible, and one of the good guys. The fact he didn’t replace Leno long term was detrimental to late night shows as a whole.
Leno donated half his salary so Tonight show employees wouldnt be let go. That left him with only 15 million a year. The man must be commended for his sacrifice.
Conan will always be #1 in my book. I even have a cat named Conan. It was a placeholder name as a kitten(we didnt plan on keeping her) due to the huge orange spot she has(and still does) on her head.
Conan saw it coming years ago, so he tried to adjust to the RU-vid format until the quarantine happened and he saw the perfect opportunity to start fresh. A comedic genius and a once-in-a-lifetime entertainment master, but makes you wonder what that brain could have done if he was in another industry altogether.
Conan's always been great at trying new things, like during the 2007 writers' strike when he basically spent episodes dicking around at his desk doing things like seeing how long he could spin his wedding ring on the table. I think more than anything though I'll always remember him as a golden age Simpsons writer lol
Conan is great. The rest of them became wokenazi propogandists. The transformation of Colbert is extra cringe. He became everything he made fun of Craig was really good too
I once saw someone mention that Conan would be a great Taskmaster for an actually good US adaptation of british Taskmaster, and ever since, i can't get the idea out of my head. I'm sad that it will never happen.
Conan is an absolute legend. When the writers strike of 2007 happened he kept spinning his wedding ring just to fill airtime and he managed to keep his show entertaining. Even more so is the fact that he paid the salaries of nearly 80 staff members whose jobs were idled because of the strike out of his own pocket.
Conan also moved his staff and paid them after he left The Tonight Show. He was off the air for about nine months due to the contract he signed with NBC not allowing him on TV. He did a tour to keep himself in the public eye and to keep his sanity. His staff continued to work with him and when he signed on TBS he had the same staff. Some of the staff that worked with him on The Late Show which he took over from Letterman in the 80s or early 90s. Corden being unable to name two cameraman is very telling. Conan's staff have been on the show in segments and they have been as popular as his remotes. Conan's podcast is great and he saw late night dying. He has complete control over everything discussed that would never be allowed on tv. He is starting a new show soon with Cinemax to do the remotes that were his most popular on NBC and TBS. Conan, Letterman, Oliver, Comedy Central with both Stewart and Trevor, and Craig have been my favorites.
im pretty sure conan is part of the WGA which is a huge part of it. those are literally his peers that went on strike. he wants the strikes to succeed because its good for him, and the rest of the writers in the WGA.
Conan is the only late night show host I really liked aside from Craig furgeson. He was one of the few with an actual personality and who could do funny skits.
"I think we were all too hard on Jimmy Fallon" is kinda wild in retrospect considering the whistleblower articles that came out not long after this video.
Seth Meyers does a YT only thing called Corrections, which requires watching his show on TY and commenting on what he got wrong, then he goes over all the mistakes with just his crew as the audience. It is brilliant.
@@AG81223 im not a fan of corden, and it was kinda mean to do that on tv, but i wouldnt describe it as horrific or a torture method. i have a phobia of space, but if someone showed me a picture of saturn i wouldnt lose my mind
It is honestly shocking to me that Leno had any fans left AT ALL after what he did to Conan. I'm so glad that Conan gained such a following and had such a successful show, he's genuinely the only late night host that I find enjoyable.
yeah conan was a great writer for the simpsons who carried the transitionary period between the first team and the replacements and then he went on to keep being funny. COlbert was actually funny too so im really not sure what happened to him.
Craig Ferguson was the greatest talk show host of all time. Period. His "ehh, f*ck it, I have nothing better to do" style was PERFECT for the genre, and when the guest "got it" it was some of the funniest late nite TV ever filmed. Conan is a close 2nd.
Eddy's bit about the crosswalk is a sad reminder that morbius and rainforest cafe have completely ruined the pleasure response mechanism in his brain 😢. Get well soon Eddy ❤️
@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist are you a bot or an actual person thinking that you make a difference? I'm very sorry, but nobody in a RU-vid comment section is going to turn to Jesus because of you, please spend your time doing more worthwhile things. Jesus wouldn't want you to be wasting your precious time on earth on a frivolous project. Spend time in your real world community helping the people around you, I promise you it will have a bigger impact on humanity and yourself than comments online. Peace and love fellow human 💚
@@lShishkaBerryl props for having the friendliest response to one of these replies I’ve ever seen. Most people are just like “fuck Jesus and fuck you, god isn’t real”. You taking a second to think that there may be a person behind that account trying to do good, even if it’s most likely just a bot, is super nice. Thanks for reminding me that people can be kind and considerate to each other.
@@burningsexuality1540 In all fairness, I don't think pushing your religion on unwanted people is ever "trying to do good", and that's probably why people respond unkindly. No one asked for a missionary.
I like to pretend eddy is standing in my room staring at me silently at night before i sleep, thats kind of like my own late night tv if you think about it. Thanks eddy :)
I thought I was the only one that did this! He tells me about pop culture events for the week then kisses my forehead and chokes me till I fall asleep. Eddy's such a good sleep paralysis demon ❤
I'm a proud jackal-what Seth Meyers has done to embrace his RU-vid audience really sets him apart. It's to the point where his Corrections segment is starting to bleed into other parts of his show. Getting to see the genuine Seth-without his writers, with complete freedom to do whatever he wants-is... It's so refreshing. He also challenges the nature of parasociality by extending genuine love and appreciation to us. I dunno, it just feels really good. He doesn't feel like a late night host, he feels like a friend who just happens to do late night TV.
I attended a taping of James Cordon’s show in 2018. I was visiting friends in LA and it was free. I’d never been to a show taping before, but I found it odd that between takes and off camera, he didn’t speak to a single person. He was glued to his phone the entire time and didn’t make eye contact with a single staffer, even the ones walking up to him to touch up his hair or give him something. The whole energy was “I don’t wanna be here” and then boom the charm came back on as soon as they started recording again
I went to a Colbert live taping and during pretty much every break he was talking to the audience and taking questions. Super professional and little different from his on air persona
Maybe he was recharging his energy. You would be surprise how many teachers shut down in between classes to give a rest to their voice and energy when interacting with others. Edit: wait, did you mean Corden or is this Cordon someone else?
@@rangersbaseball2 i don't know what to tell you. I genuinely thought they meant someone else. Then the youtuber began host by host and the first was JC so i got a "oh" moment. I'm not from USA half the people I know on the video are from yt clips 🙁
During the strike, some of the late night writers did a podcast to get sponsor money to pay their staff which was really cool of them. Fallon, Kimmel, Meyers, Colbert, and John Oliver. Strike Force Five, highly recommend the podcast, its hilarious.
Carpool Karaoke, Crosswalk Musical, interviewing all of his guests together like Graham Norton does were the good things about Corden’s show. But every time James did the segment called “Celebrity Noses”, where everything goes wrong and James completely loses his sh!t, that’s when we got to meet the real James.
Nothing says not cringe like "dancing" by moving your legs by twitching your hands like you are your own Marionette. It may have been a warning when you think about it. He was telling us that he's just a puppet.
@johnpaulsabellano7415 what part of that is confusing? You're telling me you know Conan, but don't know his weird ass signature move for a decade before he went to mainstream media?
@miisher I respect that in a historical context of who he is. The internet isn't that old though and these people still think circa 2005 doesn't exist.
Considering the current writers strike, it’s relevant to mention another instance of James being an asshole to crew is when he showed up to a private WGA meeting to advocate for lower pay for late night writers
One of the biggest moments of Colbert for me personally is when he asked Keanu what happens when we die, perhaps setting up for a more or less simple answer of how Reeves feels about the afterlife, but instead it allowed Reeves to draw on his experiences and respond "I know that the people who love us will miss us", and while that may not seem particularly deep to some people to those who have experienced such close familial loss (including both Reeves and Colbert), it was a deeply poignant moment of wisdom that isn't often heard in a late night interview. I had recently lost my brother at the time that clip surfaced and it hit me in the same way it hit Colbert in that moment. Sure I may not laugh at all his segments, but I really appreciate that moment happening.
i remember reading a gq interview w colbert right before he started on the late show that deeply affected me w the way he talked abt grief and performance. always will have a great deal of respect for him whether i like his show or not
"you know, the one who looks like a vampire? no, the one who looks like a pedophile vampire. no no, the pedo vampire who talks about politics a lot. no, I mean the one who isn't funny"
Idk if you’ll ever seen this man, but this is quality content, hooked me in and the video was way better than I expected from the thumbnail and title. Good job man keep it up I’ll be watching you thruther
How could you not mentioned kimmel’s hilarious fake feud with Matt Damon, say what you will about the tonight show, but every time Kimmel and Damon interact it’s fucking comedy gold 😂😊
I fully support the writers strike! If it means we have to go years without late night content-that is a sacrifice I’m willing to make!! Let’s go writers!!! Let’s go writers!!! Let’s go writers!!!
I'm getting more entertainment from the strike than I would from any scripted TV or movies. You can't write anything half as entertaining as real chaos.
Yeah, but on the other hand, they are all shitty writers anyway, so they realistically shouldn't be demanding anything. I hate late night shows, all they have been for the last 6 years are Trump-bashing sessions and boring "comedy", so I'm not for either side, i want em all gone!
Love that Eddy went the distance and forced the studios to cause the strike just to shut down late night TV. Just don't see those levels of dedication from any other channel.
Remember that the Lord Jesus Christ died on a cross for you because He loves you so much. He then rose up from the dead three days later The Ten Commandments are called the moral law, (most of us are lying thieving blasphemous adulterer at heart and deserve hell) you and I broke the law, Jesus paid the fine. That’s what happened on that cross. By believing that Jesus died on the cross and rose up from the dead 3 days later and not just confessing your sin, but also repenting of all sin you have done and putting all your trust in Him in prayer, He will grant you everlasting life as a free Gift.
I also started watching Colbert’s Late Show during quarantine and really enjoyed it. He got back into the studio and I don’t think I lasted more than a week.
That and for some reason old people hate him. My dad absolutely dispised him and never had a good reason, then Conan made that hidden camera bit where he had old people in a focus group watching Conan and giving negative reviews and when asked by Conan himself they too had no actual reasons and they all had no clue it was Conan asking the interview questions.
Absolutely, Conan is wonderful! @@Tyway I think it has to do with the Jay Leno issue. I read sometime ago that older people like Leno more than Conan, but I don't know why though.
The thumbnail for this video was left on the TV for a little bit and my mom said "I can't remember his name, but I like that guy in the middle the best." And when I pointed out that that was the creator of the video and someone she had likely never seen before, she said "I like his hair and he has kind eyes." You've got untapped potential in the 60+ female market, Eddy!
Conan was really my only favorite host. I can usually tell who’s genuine or not, and he is one of those people who are obviously very nice. His jokes and retorts were actually funny, and he actually listened to the people he was hosting. Overall a very entertaining man.
Really early on in the pandemic, mathematician Matt Parker put out an incredible video specifically targeting the now-at-home late night show hosts, teaching them how to use cameras and get good angles and such; Seth Meyers specifically called out Parker and gave thanks, and eventually had him in the audience for a taping of Corrections. Cheers to the unsung hero Matt Parker.
@@DDd-gm8uz I think there aren't many people with a similar breath of knowledge if they aren't on RU-vid They operate with departments so individuals typically don't hold all the keys, whereas RU-vid people as a rule are individual productions
@@991theguy The show's DP has that knowledge. A network has rooms full of people with that knowledge, is what I'm saying. None of those guys framed a shot without the approval of someone.
@@guystudios ah Trevor Noah that guy that made everything about colour politics without knowing proper history that Trevor Noah ? Daily show died the moment he took over from Jon Stewart.
Hey this guy is right on the money I have always enjoyed getting stoned and watching old elvis movies ... Good work bro you should do one on that old movie empire records
I’ve always found the graham Norton show to be the ideal version of a late night talk show: conversational, quick, and effective. Graham is just the conduit for the stuff we actually want to see, which is fun celebrity interaction
correct me if i'm wrong, but norton is BBC, which means he is ad free in his home country. the fact that he isn't a zombie coporate mouthpiece instantly prevents a show of that quality to be produced in the US
I'm glad that you brought up the WGA strike. People really don't understand the pay (or lack thereof) that the average writer in television and film gets. Someone on twitter posted a picture of their father's residual pay from a bunch of SNL episodes he helped write, and it was a total of less than $20 for what must have been 50+ episodes. Some of the residuals were literally one cent per episode.
Conan had always been my favorite for all that eddy said, he’s a frequent at my restaurant and he’s always so nice and genuine. Even to people who come up and recognize him he’s never been rude but again they are still people who need privacy regardless he handles it very well.
I think there's something about the fact that someone who got famous playing a satirical character shifted to being his genuine, authentic self with his heart on his sleeve.
In my head they are just two completely separate shows anyway. I’ve never thought of one being a continuation of the other, so I think of Craig Ferguson’s show as going out well, and another show that sucks filled the time slot.
The Tonight Show going from Conan to Fallon is up there too. Conan didn't even have enough time to find his footing on The Tonight Show before they kicked him to the curb.
Really interesting, honest, accurate, and entertaining analysis on the Late Night offerings. Life = EVERYTHING changes, EVERY day. Had not seen the Corden clip where he couldn't name crew. Awful, says a lot.
Even though I'm nowhere near California, I now I want to make a fake memorial at the Corden crosswalk with flowers, a cross, and a photo of an AI-generated person who doesn't exist...
Graham Norton despite not being a daily night time tv show is the gold standard of what these shows should try to be. Seeing 5-6 huge movie stars, directors and comedians together talk about Hollywood and reminisce is something that is much more entertaining than solo one on one interviews. You get to see the interaction not just between the host and stars but also of the guests amongst themselves. And putting 5 big faces on a couch together is still something that RU-vid and internet shows cant manage (yet), something that these TV networks should be able to pull off on a regular basis.
It’s like someone decided to have a cocktail party and started filming. The guests are just so relaxed you almost forget they’re their to promote soemthing
@@DarMar106 Matt Damon famously said that Graham Norton was the most fun he'd ever had on a talk show. The number of viral clips from Graham Norton is nuts - he really does get people to say and do things that they don't do in any other setting, yet he seems to keep it just this side of being mean.
@@cv990a4 He never drags his guest through the political stuff. I once saw Stephen Colbert trying to insert something something Trump in an interview with Sir Patrick Stewart and another famous British actress (if my memory serves me right) and it was *A W K W A R D*. Like they aren't Americans, they are here to promote stuff and they are established artists, at least show some respect.
@ItsukaShimotsuki Asking Patrick Stewart about Trump specifically is stupid, but Patrick Stewart has always been politically active and is publicly a socialist. Asking him political questions doesn't seem to be lacking in respect.
I believe that Conan is one of the most naturally funny people in entertainment, I could rewatch his remotes and bits continuously and never get tired of it. Plus he’s a genuinely good guy who paid his writers from his own pocket during the 2007 writer’s strike, and took all of his staff with him to TBS after being screwed over by Leno. Conan knows his style of comedy and has stuck with it for 30 years, he’s unapologetically himself and it’s really admirable for the viewers. He’ll forever be the peak late night talk show host
I was on vacation once in Norway and randomly ran into Seth Meyers at a bike rental shop (he was doing a show there). Me and my bf were huge fans and said hi to him (we kept it brief, I’m not one to bother a celebrity doing a leisure activity) but he was SO nice, so warm and friendly. We talked shortly and he took a selfie with us 10/10 celeb sighting. I’m glad you spoke so highly of him here, he seems like the coolest dude
Remember that the Lord Jesus Christ died on a cross for you because He loves you so much. He then rose up from the dead three days later The Ten Commandments are called the moral law, (most of us are lying thieving blasphemous adulterer at heart and deserve hell) you and I broke the law, Jesus paid the fine.

My friend is an animator on the team for the animations for Stephen Colbert’s show, and she says he is the sweetest guy who buys them snacks and tries to really talk to everyone when he visits. He seems really genuine.
@@karlwithak1835dumb statement Money does not make everyone nice, must be quite the mossy rock you live under considering you’ve been under there a while
Watch old Colbert report he went from making fun of the corporate sick puppets to being a corporate sock puppet. The transformation of Colbert is soo cringe it's hard to watch. There's no lie or insanity to big for him to tell his audience
Ill always remember conan going to a historical reenactment place and this one girl stayed FULLY in the character of a colonial girl whokept giving him answers he didnt see coming and she ended up delivering some of the best punch lines and the audience and clearly conan fell in love with the girl cause she ended up in the entire skit.
OMG YES. The first time I saw it was back when AIM instant messenger was the ticket (im 33) and someone posted a link to that video in their buddy profile 🤣 I DIED then, and still rewatch it every year. When he points to the sky ominously, in full 1800s attire, and shouts “what ho!? what is that demonry!?!” and the camera angle pans over to an airplane💀💀 It was one of his best!
I feel like Graham Norton is still able to draw viewers to the celebrity culture aspect because you get funny interactions between groups of celebrities you would never normally see together, and Graham is a fantastic conduit for the guests stories. Julie Walter's putting her hand in 50 Cents mouth to feel the bullet shrapnel is a prime example, you can't get that kind of content anywhere else.
his show also lets them drink and not do one person interview while the previous guest is on the couch hiding from the camera lol. Honestly in american late night my favourite interview clips are when the previews guest gets involved
Seth Meyer’s RU-vid exclusive segment Corrections is like, by far the best thing to come out of late night in the last 2-3 years. Consistently funny and shows how talented/funny Seth is, plus you clearly see how much he loves his crew
Corrections segments are unhinged and I love it so much. I think part of it is that I love watching funny people make other funny people laugh. Corrections jokes are like at least 40% playing to the writers and crew.
Seth is the only Late Night host I kept sticking with. His show really grew with the Corona lockdown and yeah, it's all about Seth and the writers and Wally playing off of each other, giving the whole thing such a cozy familiar atmosphere.
I am part of the Craig Ferguson cult following. It was a late night show where, on one side of the host, there was the co-host - a gay robot skeleton. On the other side, there were two guys in a horse suit. The guest, a famous actor would come on, the movie they're in would be mention once and then Craig would ask them something along the lines of "So? How's it been for you? Have you been swimming a lot?" and before that his monologue would have like a minute of silence after a weird joke. True punk version of the late night formula.
Craig's interview with Notch (before Notch became a crazy incel) was pure gold for these reasons. I don't think any other late night host could have interviewed a game developer and gotten something half as funny.
Let's face it: The internet is killing network TV. Wether that's good or bad, it's happening. So it makes sense that with the approaching death of network TV, its staples, like late night shows, are also dying.
I would say choice is killing network TV. As soon as I was given better options, like watching when and where I want, on which provider I wanted and even shows from different countries (which I have found to be infinitely better than American TV), then it was over for broadcast. I haven't watched a network TV show, on TV, in close to 15 years. That show was South Park and I don't even watch that anymore. Network TV is boring, predictable, and the writing/dialog is terrible.
The street thing could easily be entertaining, but just don't go that close to people's cars and definitely don't go on top of them! You can still be courteous about it! 😂
Conan was the only one for me, no one ever got close to him, he's an outstanding compassionate human being and imo one of the top 5 comedians and entertainers that ever lived. You can throw ANY situation at him and he will make it work and make it funny. He was a legend to his staff, and extremely compassionate.
My reply was prefixed with "imo" if you notice, you know, "in my opinion"? People are still allowed to have opinions and personal tastes right? I never claimed as fact. So no, I won't think about my own opinion any further than I already have regarding my top 5 comedians.Why be so sanctimonious? You don't like it? Fine, make your own list of top 5 comedians, literally no one will care but you. @@AyeBigN8
I really think the fascination with late night started going down when social media started becoming more popular. Because before, it felt like talk shows were rare times when you could watch a celebrity being themselves, and hear about their stories. Now, everybody knows everything that is happening in that second through social media, and the "magic" that was there decades ago just isn't there anymore.
Doesn't help late night talk shows are so woefully out of touch with the common man and problems or what's going on that they desperately try to cater by saying things that only their friends would like instead of what the audience wants.
it definitely didn't feel like that, celebrities come on to do shitty promos not be themselves. generally the worst part of every light night show is when they have the random celeb of the week come out to promote something.
I started watching Conan O'Brien from minute one. I just barely hit an age and a circumstance where I can stay up and watch late night shows and it was right around when Johnny Carson retired then I started watching so I guess I've also seen Jay Leno's Tonight Show from the beginning also. But I absolutely loved Conan O'Brien and had no idea that for the first few years they are on such a slippery slope with the network but I was happy that after that it became one of the most popular shows on TV. It makes me happy he has a different thing going on and he's not trying to keep a dying industry going. Seth Meyers is probably my favorite that's on right now. Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon I only watch when a clip comes along that kind of catches my eye but
I think it's really put the death knell in late night TV - I've gotten used to not watching colbert / daily show / seth (at least the opening parts I used to watch - I never watched the guests with very few exceptions, and the views on youtube of the various segments of their shows show that no one cares about the guests now) and I'm kindof glad to not hear the same take on the news every day from 3 different sets of writers, usually 2 of which make the exact same joke. Bring back the late night of old - conan or craig ferguson - shows that were legitimately funny, and not just the news re-hashed in a snarky way.
100% agreed on Conan. I discovered him in the mid-to-late 90s, somewhere around middle school and high school. I didn't have a TV in my room, but as I was getting older I was starting to stay up later. In particular I stayed up during summer break, and at the time my dad was working swing shift. Conan's show started around the time my dad got home, so we'd watch it together. It was partly that I had a show to share with my dad, but partly what you said-I found Conan on my own, and was hooked on how silly he was and how great his gift was for rolling with the punches; he could turn material that flopped into something gold with his reactions.
I am old. I grew up with Carson, and even remember Ed Sullivan in my childhood. The last late night show that I regularly watched was Conan. Now I just catch clips on RU-vid. I tend to be more annoyed at the non-American hosts (did you mention Oliver?) than the others. Not sure why. Like you mentioned, tv shows (and tv magazines and postal interactions) used to be our only connection with celebrities. Most celebrities could opt to maintain a low profile, disappear off the radar, and then pop up on a show occasionally. These appearances were carefully crafted and rehearsed. All those on-air moments and hilarious interview questions that appear spontaneous were practiced just an hour before and the live audience reaction is also rehearsed and encouraged by signs, shills, and fluffers. The late night shows, I think, for decades, mainly served as a way to showcase/promote a current movie, tour, event, or product. It was not just the public desiring access to the celebrities, it was more the corporate media craving convenient access to the public, plus advertisers. Win-win-win. The access to multiple free media by the public has totally changed this. The model that has worked since the 70s has become a clunky, outdated dinosaur.
I've seen this term used on reddit, but as non native speaker and living in a different culture I don't know chad means. Could you, please, explain? I am not satisfied with explanations I found on Urban dictionary
What's even more "Chad" is that Fallon was able to put on blackface in front of the Roots and it didn't end his career. So either the Root's are pussies for not cancelling him for being racist, or Fallon is a true mob b0$$ for coming out of it unscathed.
@Ivan Bitunjac what the person above me said, but it is very slang, a "Chad" is the ideal definition of a man, because people named Chad are known to be very cool.
If I ever got stuck at a light and a horde of people started dancing and singing around me I’d absolutely destroy my sound system by turning it all the way up and put all of my windows down
I remember during the height of BLM protests instead of discussing black struggles himself, Seth Meyers let Amber Ruffin talk about her experiences with racism. I really respect him for that.
Personally this is why late night has failed in recent years. When they decided to do social justice and become highly opinionated with their political beliefs is when most people tuned out. It’s a comedy variety show not “The View”. I’m not trying to debate politics here I’m just telling the truth. Jimmy Kimmel recently admitted on a podcast that he knew when he took a stand against Trump and talk more politics he’d most likely lose half his audience. He was right.
Jimmy Fallon's producer groomed a teenage girl and bought her to staff and cast parties, which everyone knew about and mept quiet. The fact he still has a job is beyond me.
I'm 41 years old. Conan was the reason I missed first period most days in high school. In Utah, he came on at 12:05 am after a stupid ass eoisode of Mad About You following Leno. The memories I have of that man and his insane late night show, will last forever. No one will top Conan for me.
I remember the last time there was a writers strike Conan put on some of the most insane episodes of television in talk show history. It was brilliant and it showed just how amazing he is.
I think a late night show could be pretty successful in modern times if they hyper focus on the most up-to-date and/or exclusive content. Interview celebs that aren't very active online, plan the shows only days or hours ahead of time to keep them as current as possible, have some kind of live engagement with the audience
As a guy in his 30s, I haven't watched live TV in at least a decade and tbh I'm shocked to learn that people younger than me were doing so as recently as 2020.
I’m 56 and same… around a decade now for me too. I don’t think it’s about age, more about your knowledge of what is available. I still meet people who have no notion of how big & how varied in content You Tube is. My TV in the living room can’t even receive any old school TV… it is only connected to the net.
I feel like John Oliver gets left out of these conversations, but between John and Seth that style is on lock and I'm all here for it, although I'm more partial to John just personally.
Thank you, I see everyone washing their hands of the late night shows when I GENUINELY so enjoy Seth and his styles. His dry wit is incredible and his writers are peerless.
@@daporter8790 Seth definitely had his growing pains, especially during Covid, but I think he absolutely grew into his own You can kind of see that in the way the Animaniacs lampooned him in their reboot versus how he is now.
I honestly don't understand why they haven't adapted to the times better. Sure they adapted a bit to RU-vid and tiktok but not to the new model of television: streaming services. Proper ones. Here in my home country we have state television channels. They still exist and they're for free but they also have a streaming platform. You can watch everything on there. Live TV such as galas, sports, late night shows, and anything else you can imagine. You can also watch movies and TV shows. Sure, it's no Netflix or anything like that but it's a fantastic blend of TV and streaming. My guess is that I'm not the only one who wants to combine the two. How has no large streaming service picked up on this? I'd love to be able to watch late night shows on my streaming services.
