Late Night Talk Show Discussion

[Valeyard]

Yeah they started the Flip Wilson episode one night and I couldn't believe I got the classic shows.

December 8th is going to be the last Trevor Noah hosted episode of The Daily Show.

Show will return on January 17th but Comedy Central hasn't announced whether it's going to be with a permanent replacement or a slate of fill ins. If it's the former, I'm assuming they're promoting internally given the 5-6 week turn around time.

Deport James Corden

Our national nightmare ends: James Corden welcomed back at Balthazar

For a second there, it almost looked as if the country were turning on its most confounding late-night host

The restaurant coward has already undone this.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Well this guy publicly defends Ghislaine Maxwell and brags about Woody Allen hanging out at his restaurant so I guess I can rule out one brunch spot to go when I am in NYC in three weeks.

 

[Valeyard]

Corden should be set on fire and thrown in a canyon.

Very surprised you haven't posted the Graham Norton shit yet, Kamala. It feels like your wheelhouse.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I just looked it up. I didn't think I'd side with Graham Norton but when the opposing side is John Cleese, JK Rowling, and transphobic Twitter dorks...

Not sure how I feel about it. Makes sense but also very unexciting and I feel like TDS replicating Weekend Update is maybe a sign that the show is long in the tooth. Or maybe it's just a sign of it going full circle. Idk. I'm glad I'm not a cable television executive in 2022.

 

[Valeyard]

Cleese worked himself into a shoot, but he was my hero as a kid. Disagree though I may, definitely an an art vs artist situation, I guess.

Every panel show Comedy Central has tried wound up failing. Might as well bring back Crossballs.

"the wisdom of Bill Maher"

please kill me

Leno one might be worse.

Watching his YouTube channel and Letterman was a legit good looking guy in the early/mid eighties. He aged like 15-20 years between like 1984 and 1987 though

CNN wants comedian to save it from being a joke in primetime ratings war: report

High-profile names such as Bill Maher, Arsenio Hall, Trevor Noah, and Jon Stewart have been floated as possibilities.

I don’t get why Jimmy Kimmel is even allowed to continue platforming a looner who has been banned from most mainstream conservative media outlets.

 

[Valeyard]

It isn't even funny. That's my problem. Getting assholes like him on a radio show works so much better for comedy.

Last remaining relic of Letterman era. Happy retirement!

This is James Corden's last week of shows. He somehow lasted 8 years with this gig

 

[Valeyard]

Maybe he dies at the end.

 

[BruiserBrody]

Maybe he dies at the end.

I glanced over his controversies and didn't see anything too bad. What am I missing? I only know him from a handful of clips that went viral over the years;

 

[Valeyard]

He's a terrible and obnoxious person who treats everyone like shit, however my gripe is that he is just obnoxious and aggressively unfunny with the most punchable face in the history of the modern fist.

 

[BruiserBrody]

I thought all British males were right cunts? Isn't that part of the charm?

I'm only mildly kidding.
