If you are talking about all of late night TV, Johnny Carson trumps Letterman hands down. Agreed Paul Shaffer has always been creepy even though he has talent. Johnny, Ed and Doc will always be #1, period X 100+
Love her.
The bits with Chris Elliott as Fugitive Guy, Regulator Guy, Brando, Marv Albert and The Guy Under the Stairs are awesome. I'm instantly a kid again watching them.
I was a huge fan as a teen, and through the NBC years. Way went onto way, and the times I watched him in the 2000s he either seemed bitter or like he was phoning it in. Top 10 lists were a great bit in the 80s - but their remaining represented a lack in innovation, and resting on laurels. I was a monster fan of Carson... Felt he was the most famous person alive, king of kings of celebrities. But I think Kimmel and Fallon are the most entertaining, likable and consistently clever talk show hosts I've seen.
Not to beat a dead horse, but the 80's Dave was so much better than the last two decades.
I know, bummer. Thankfully I randomly rolled over in the middle of the night and saw that it had stopped recording, but the show was still on. Was able to catch the last 10 minutes or so.The show went 17 minutes long and my DVR stopped at the normal time.
I was a big Fallon fan when he first started on the Tonight Show. But now, it just seems played out. Everything he does is just trying to have the next viral video. The show seems more about the people he brings on then himself. You watched Letterman for Letterman, you watch Fallon to see what the celebrity on that night's show will do next. I feel like there's only so many random games for Fallon to play with each celeb before everyone gets bored with it. Kimmel is pretty good and I'm interested to see what Colbert has in store.
+1, great show. I laughed in every segment.Agreed -- loved it.Thought it was perfect Dave.
The 12:30a slot as much as the era - Reagan's America, NYC in flux, NBC's place in the ratings, etc - seemed to let Dave be so much more loose than he was through much of his CBS tenure. He was mostly mailing it in (boredom? creatively tapped out? network constraints? who knows really?) over the last several years but then again so was Carson. It's a brutal job, I think, and he did it his way.
That's how I've been referring to him all day today.
no. I only watched when he had a good guest on from time to time in the last few years.shuke said:
