mjah Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Apparently it was not a ratings darling... but those who watched Ferguson tend(ed) to do so rabidly. I could see him moving to Comedy Central and opening up the show a bit. Quite possibly expanding his viewership too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 Arsenio is now out of the equation as his comeback was just canceled and that was after being told he was getting a second season by Leno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjah Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Wait, so that's three guys now who have gotten unplugged "by their network" while Leno stood nearby, whistling innocently and twirling the end of an extension cord? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebluefood Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 When Ferguson leaves in December, it will probably end whatever ties I had to network late night television, more than likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchogs Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Ferguson, to me, was by far the funniest host on late night. That may be more of a commentary on my sense of humor than anything, but I'll own that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HogNose Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 We DVR The Tonight Show in case we can't stay up and watch it. This is the first time I've really enjoyed the Tonight Show since Johnny Carson. Fallon hasn't had a bad night yet. Bravo to Jimmy Fallon and his team behind the scenes because they have done one hell of a job so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I've gotta agree with Longshot above, I find the standard format boring. There is the occasional good bit or good guest, but there are not enough to make it worthwhile for me to sit through a whole show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrypticVillain Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I doubt I watch the show, but I will admit he, James Corden, seems like a cool dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovetoaster Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I watched most of Corden last night. I enjoyed it. The interview format is a little different, but the skits he did were pretty funny, IMO. He is an interesting balance between quirky and polished. There were some rough edges, but that is to be expected on the first show. I will continue watching to see how it evolves. But I am definitely intrigued right now. I also had no idea Reggie Watts was the band leader...that could be a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Well, Wed.: May 20th is David Letterman's final show. It's been years since he was really good but when he was, he was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSkin Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I changed my avi a while back because of his retirement. Besides being on Carson, I think I first saw him outside of that show one day when home from grade school sick. He was hilarious. I don't remember if it was his morning show, or if he was on some other show. I lost countless hours of sleep staying up watching Letterman as a kid when he came on at 12:30. He has been coasting a while, but still has some good nights and moments. It's old hat now, but the show was really original and trendsetting Sometimes awkward or weird, but often hilarious. This is a good article from Rolling Stone from a few years back. http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/news/david-letterman-year-one-20110929 Sad to see Dave go, but I suppose it's time. I grew up, and grew old-ish watching him. His influence permeates comedy and beyond. I remember what a big deal it was for people when Johnny Carson stopped. I thought it was way past the time for him. That show bored me endlessly, and for some reason Ed McMahon got on my nerves really bad. It was a battle between my will and sleep every night to make it past The Tonight Show for Letterman. I imagine a lot of younger people think the same kind of things about Letterman now. I am really interested to see what Colbert does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I was the classic "sneaking downstairs to watch Dave kid." My sense of humor is probably 80 percent his creation. I really haven't watched any late night in years, but I did enjoy what I saw of "I'm way too old for this BS" Dave in recent years. Fallon is talented, but I will miss a host who occasionally openly despises his guests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 That was good ending for Dave. I am glad, CBS let him run over the scheduled time. I don't NBC did that with Johnny or the 2 times Jay said goodbye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't NBC did that with Johnny or the 2 times Jay said goodbye. It sucked that it did. I DVR'd it last night and randomly rolled over at about 12:40 and realized it was still on. My DVR had stopped recording it, so luckily I was able to catch the last 5-10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
