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.
@@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
Conan saw it coming years ago, so he tried to adjust to the RUclips 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.
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.
"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.
"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"
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 🙁
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.
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 ❤
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'm a proud jackal-what Seth Meyers has done to embrace his RUclips 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.
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 RUclips 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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
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
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
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 RUclips They operate with departments so individuals typically don't hold all the keys, whereas RUclips 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.
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.
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.
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’m so glad you voiced how different Stephen Colbert was at home during his Covid shows compared to in the studio. I’m glad to hear that like me, a lot of people stopped watching after the quarantine ended.
@@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.
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.
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.
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

he grew up a few towns over from me, gives me some new hampshire pride to know that we put out seth meyers and adam sandler (who went to the same high school as i did)
Agreed. I’ve been a fan since I was a little kid. There’s pictures and videos of me as a 3-4 year old in the early 90s laughing at him. Watched him all my life and still watch him now.
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
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 😂😊
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.
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.
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.
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 RUclips 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.
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...
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 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.
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
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.
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 agree, Seth is the perfect late night host. He covers important topics yet can be fun and funny, is laid back with guests, has many guests who are scientists or authors or ceoebs who arent entertainers. He is also willing to go with the flow and admitting when something doesnt hit. Hes a great mix of all the others. Trevor Noah was very good as well and Conans shift online was a great move.
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.
Seth Meyer’s RUclips 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 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
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
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
trevor noah got me through quarantine with lots of laughs and connected me even more with my mom. we watched his quarantine show together and it made us stop arguing so much. also i heard his book was really good so im looking forward to reading it.
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 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.

Conan seriously needs to see all the love and support for him in this comment section. I know he hates reading reviews and stuff but this is so sweet
The fact Corden exploited Alice Coopers actual phobia for entertainment is actually horrific. Thats like a torture method.
grow up
@@thatoneguy6114 It seems like you need to.
@@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
@@thatoneguy6114 I get that. I took your comment as completely trying to defend Corden's actions.
I wonder if it's an actual phobia or if he has misophonia (which is a neurological condition).
Conan saw it coming years ago, so he tried to adjust to the RUclips 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.
This is the right answer. lol
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
yeah conan has a 170 iq lol. probably one of the smartest people in show business
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.
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.
"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.
Huh?
?
I’m realizing it’s almost impossible for my mind to mentally differentiate between Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon.
I'm still not fully convinced they're two different people.
same here! I'm glad I'm not the only one😂
Kimmel is better looking but otherwise they are the same.
"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"
The Jimmy’s of the late night shows were awful in basically every single way. The only late night show that was worth it’s salt is Conan.
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
James Corden is an ass boil so that isn't shocking
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?

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.

Thank you! Yes.
Thats basically how the video concludes

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.
Meanwhile Fallon's writers are having their pay withheld
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.
He knows what it's like...being a writer for The Simpsons and SNL
Conan’s show really comforted me in high school in an abusive household. I appreciate the laughs 🧡🧡🧡🧡
I'm a proud jackal-what Seth Meyers has done to embrace his RUclips 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.
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 ❤️
The sacrifices he makes for the bit...
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ no
@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist are you a bot or an actual person thinking that you make a difference? I'm very sorry, but nobody in a RUclips comment section is going to turn to Jesus because of you, please spend your time doing more worthwhile things.

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.
i like conan’s episodes in the simpsons
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.
Leno is loved by less-hateful-Boomers. Conan is too funny/spicy, Jay Leno is "ketchup-is-spicy"-Safe version for those who watch things late at night.
@im sacred lol
@@BrentMalice colbert went from being a writer into someone who repeats what people wrote for him
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.
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.
Carpool karaoke? Get a fkn grip man
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!
ok
help 😭
We're not losing anything anyway, the writers are trash and so is Late Night TV

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.
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.
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!
Aww that’s so wholesome!
so the gilf market?
she's so right tho.
Because he is a Marc Maron twin. That’s why your mom thought she knew who it was.
Vic, I don't know how to tell you this, but...
Eddy's been tapping that potential. Frequently.
Eddy's your new stepdad.
Okay, but I will always legitimately love Conan O'Brian. He is the only late night host that I find 0 cringe factor in.
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.
@@Ryanbmc4 what

@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.
Very well put together video. At the very end I was kinda hoping you'd leave the flowers on Carson's grave but the Corden gag WAS funny lol.
I'm 38 and since 21 when I started living on my own, I disconnected any TV cable that was on the house.
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 will always love Colbert for the way he talks about grief.
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
I for one have never laughed at a single thing uttered by Colbert.
He's a pathetic heel -
@@scotthullinger4684 you didn't even find him funny on the daily show?
@@scotthullinger4684 Cool.
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.
If Eddy can't be a late-night host, no one can!
Obviously that's what happened, what else could it be?
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.

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.

Conan is clearly the best! I'm glad he is doing well outside of the late night show prison.
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.
Honestly, I think Conan is the only actually likeable person in the whole bunch. He's also shown he can do more than just be a late night host.
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.

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.
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 will always be the GOAT
Probably the most funniest Late Night Host dude who can actually adjust when it comes to different decades
Agreed. I’ve been a fan since I was a little kid. There’s pictures and videos of me as a 3-4 year old in the early 90s laughing at him. Watched him all my life and still watch him now.
Conan, David Letterman, Johnny Carson, Craig Ferguson. That’s my late night Mount Rushmore for sure.
I've always been more inclined towards Ferguson than Conan, but they're both up there together
ALWAYS
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
@@BillehBobJoe obligatory “he’s Irish, it’s not his home country” comment
Agreed. He's the best bar-none. And he doesn't butt-kiss the celebs and also lets them speak, which you would think would be obligatory.

Graham is sooooo good but in general British TV is just better
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 can’t watch Kimmel after all the sexist stuff he did on the man show
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.
I cant think of a greater drop-off in quality than the Late Late Show going from Craig Ferguson to James Corden
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.
My god Craig was good. Such a downgrade
They went from having too much charisma to too little and it was unintentionally hilarious.
The only other host after Conan is Craig. Two of the best ever.
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.
I’m really glad you mentioned Colbert’s vulnerability and compassion. His interview with Anderson Cooper still makes me emotional
Colbert is a government shill
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.
He has a great quote "What's the use of being Irish if you don't know that life is going to break your heart?”

Carson, Letterman and Conan. I love Conan and his /their podcast. As mentioned, Conan also paid his crew out of his own pocket.
Im so glad Carson clips and full episodes exist on the internet
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 RUclips 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.
Valid
@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.
Craig Ferguson was my personal favorite
Thumbs up
I used to watch him with my Mom every day. When they added Geoff the gay robot skeleton, that was like my golden era of late night TV.
He was the best of the best with a genuine good heart.
👍
Super ok
I love the idea of someone watching him film the crosswalk bit

I'm 90% sure whoever sees that bouquet Eddy dropped off is gonna think someone had died at the Corden Crosswalk
My ability to laugh died after watching Corden, so yes, there was a death caused by the Corden Crosswalk.
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...
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
Hard agree.
Conan and Craig were the best. The rest of them will say or do anything for ratings
Absolutely
But he wasn't controllable, not much political.... Networks don't like that 😂
Conan being one of the funniest people in late night history and also just a great human being is a very popular opinion. Rightly so.
Colbert when he talks loss and deep questions, almost reminds me of Terry Gross. Both of them can get people to admit to their deepest secrets.
I just subscribed mostly cause you’re funny… But really mostly cause you’re very good looking and I love men with facial hair! 😊❤
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.
I wish more ppl recognize Craig as a late night tv show host.
He was so good.
He was great
He was a genius. He was the only funny late night host in over a decade.
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.
And no politics
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.
Never seen that clip, fantastic 😂
Thanks dawg 🙏✌️
The whole appeal of the Graham Norton show is the way it gradually builds up to all the guests talking to each other. It's really well done.
love Graham Norton...... it's a bit of everything and everyone with lot's of laughs ❤
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
Hes an icon and does audience interactions the best
First video I’ve ever seen from you and I’m now a fan. A very well done, thorough and funny video
Conan and Ferguson were the only good late night hosts.
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.
Yeah now we have early morning shows like GMM😂
Has nothing to do with late night becoming proppaganda and not entertainment smh
@@unconsciouscreator3012 Stop getting triggered all over the place.
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.
video killed the radio star. you're right - abandoning the format isn't a matter of if, it's a matter of when.
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.

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!
@@christinacatalano Glad I'm not the only one to watch it every year haha...
Now he did some podcasts, the one with Kevin Nealon is pretty good
Do you have a link?
@@diskgrinder na sorry you'll have to look it up. It's somewhere out there.
2:37 Shocking, considering that i'm watching this on April 27th, 2024, a year after he resigned.
I agree, Seth is the perfect late night host. He covers important topics yet can be fun and funny, is laid back with guests, has many guests who are scientists or authors or ceoebs who arent entertainers. He is also willing to go with the flow and admitting when something doesnt hit. Hes a great mix of all the others. Trevor Noah was very good as well and Conans shift online was a great move.
Pedro now has a pet peeve for people doing karaoke so it's safe to say he was also changed by that exact moment
Where can we see that lol
Love that you highlighted the writer's strike at the end. Nice work on this one!
May it last a thousand years.
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.

You look great, Eddy. Missed your content.
It's weird to think that Eddy dressing in a full suit to drop off "in memoriam" flowers is the least insane thing to happen at that crosswalk.
Seth Meyer’s RUclips 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
Jackal
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.
It's what makes Seth's show my favorite. It's full of personality, in-jokes, and doesn't take itself too seriously. It feels good!
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.
yup.
19:50 Haven't watched cable or tv since 2013
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
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.
@Karl with a K what are you saying

Money does not make everyone nice, must be quite the mossy rock you live under considering you’ve been under there a while
Not buying it. That guy is strange.
ok
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
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.
He wrote for the Simpsons too 😊 Love that man
“With yourself” is iconic✨🤣✨
Been on a Letterman kick as of late, so you’ve got me
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.
Conan and Craig Ferguson are the GOATs for me. Both really genuine, hilarious, and intelligent people. Late night was never the same when both left.
Top 5 comedians and entertainers ever ? Really think about that for a second
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.

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.
You respect people that make racism worse? I wonder if you care about the fact that blacks kill far more of their own than whitey ever will.
You mean the BLM riots that costs billions of dollars of damage, largely in poor black neighborhoods, and resulted in the deaths of dozens of people?
Aah, the summer of love
Seth just seems like a really great guy.
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.
i honestly remember staying up until 1 am to watch one directions last carpool karaoke with james in 2015, but it was on youtube 3 hours later 🙃
You rock Ed!❤😂❤
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.
Sooooo, you mean...precisely what was just said in the video? Well I agree lol.
it gets to a point that we want to see LESS of our celebrity.
Esp the likes of Ye
@@Frzned9x that’s funny as hell. We spent decades idolizing the rich, the famous, the proper, and now we want a lot of them to go away 😂😂😂
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.
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.
Same tho
Omg ikr
As a guy in his 50s, I haven't watched live TV in at least a decade, except when visiting my parents' place.
Also in my 30s but 2004 for me. The moment we got broadband I switched to torrenting everything and never looked back.
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.
Gotta love that applause sign otherwise that nft shit would’ve been hilariously awkward
trevor noah got me through quarantine with lots of laughs and connected me even more with my mom. we watched his quarantine show together and it made us stop arguing so much. also i heard his book was really good so im looking forward to reading it.
Having the Roots as your house band is one of the most chad TV production moves you could ever make.
Truly!
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.
@@ivanbitunjac3303 usually means something smart or advantageous.
@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.
It's an actual shame that Patriot Act got cancelled, it was so well produced and well written and interesting to watch.
jfc yeeeees, it was one of the best shows out there and i loved Hasan as a host. Absolutely unbeatable
I agree! I was so bummed when it got cancelled. I really enjoyed that show.
Hasan is great.
I watched it from start to finish every time. I feel like Hasan definitely stepped on someones toes to get it cancelled

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.
Conan is a legend! My fav late night host. I miss when he did the late night show on NBC!
Criag Ferguson was an incredible host who was dang hilarious and had real integrity.
Don’t forget Geoff! The world needs more sarcastic skeletons on TV.
I miss that show everyday. 😢
By far the best ever. Mostly because he didn't give a shit and didn't
Follow the usual formula.
YESSS that's the only one I religiously watched
Conan and Craig Ferguson were the last hold outs from the golden era.
