I still think the 1 hour late night format is dead.

The Daily Show does it right.

first 8 minutes - monologue. Commercials. Next 8 minutes - bit (be it Stewart or one of his 'correspondants'). Commercials. Last 5 or 6 minutes - 'guest star'.

You don't get tired of it at any point and you end up wanting to see the next day. It's also so short that Stewart can do a really good job with the material he has.

Does anyone really care about the 2nd half hour of most of these shows? And as often as not, even if you do care, the 2nd half is painfully tedious schlock.

People have too many options anymore to dedicate an hour to Letterman, Leno or Conan.

Then again, I guess the networks have too much money and identity wrapped up in Leno or Letterman to scale them back. That said, as those guys retire, I think the networks would be better served to reformat the shows into 1/2 hour segments.

I completely agree. I rarely even watch the first guest. The most entertaining parts for me are the monologue and the first bit. If I like the first guest, I'll watch, but otherwise I'll stop it and watch something else.

Kimmel's show has made a formatting change where they don't do the first bit between the monologue and the guest. He just does the monologue, goes to commercial, and comes back with his first guest. I used to really enjoy his show, but with no bit before the guest, I hardly watch the show at all anymore.

I like that Conan is interacting with the crowd, Andy's funny again, and they're back to improvising. I also think his interviews have been hilarious so far. His interviews with Tom Hanks and Michael Cera in particular were amazing. I remember when Kimmel laid into Leno--Leno couldn't respond because his entire show is scripted. I appreciate that Conan's allowed to be spontaneous again.

What bothers me is that he's not good at monologues and yet since doing the Tonight Show, they seem to be getting longer and longer. And the skits in between aren't the random goofy shit he did on Late Night--interviews with Saddam, Triumph, the year 2000, etc.... They're sort of ho-hum.

I want him to do less monologue and a lot more of the goofy shit he did on Late Night. I really, really hope that he figures this out soon.

Question.

Why do they say at the top of the show, they say "today's episode..."

Is it just me, or does this episode never happen? Am I crazy?

Thanks for the heads up. A while back I saw on the program guide that Kate Upton was to be on the show, but when I watched the ep, Tig Notaro was a guest and there was no Kate. I wondered if Kate canceled, the program info was messed up or it was some cruel joke by Tig.

Wait.

Alice Eve is British?

And she's unquestionably #1 on 'my list' right now. Just a staggeringly good looking woman.
