I think about how Americans cope with UK chat shows like Jonathan Ross and Graham Norton. Sure, they've got a face recognisable on both sides of the pond on the sofa, yet some that Americans would have no idea about. How many Americans know Louie Spence and Harry Hill?

I've sat and watched full episodes of Craig Ferguson and, as with most of his guests, very little of the interview is about who they are and what they do. A lot of it is simply chat and banter. There's an interview with Billy Connolly and there is only a brief moment where he talks about a film he's in. The rest is Craig and Billy talking about things in Scotland and Billy being hilarious.

A channel has uploaded a lot of clean idents and trailers, such as this set of Channel 4 Hoobs trailers in widescreen:



Also, trailers for a teenage abortion storyline in Brookside in its latter days:

Well that is the double edged sword of US 5-night-a-week late night talk shows - you have to have 10 or so guests a week, rather than the mere 3 on Norton / Ross. And those 10 have to be shared out between about 10 late night TV shows. Fortunately there are a lot of bit-part TV actors, comedians, film stars, and Kristen Bell to make up the numbers.

I'm not sure about your second suggestion. I don't understand where you're coming from -- are you talking in relation to Late Late being shown on UK TV?


EDIT: I can't believe I missed this one out in my initial list on the previous page:

Yes i'am, So instead of UK getting all 5 episodes, broadcaster could take all 5, take all the best bits and even bits that were cut out see below ;P and make two great one hour show over the weekend.

Talking about Late Night, did anyone catch the gay wedding on Conan in New York?

Wouldn't work. There are too many running gags that run through the show for them to be split up.

I don't know. I've downloaded a handful of episodes in no particular order and I've already established a few of the running gags - Geoff saying 'balls', "CBS Cares," and Craig giving the camera next to no time to see the email on the paper.

Oh absolutely -- and of course "You ever been to XXXX Geoff?" "Oh hell yeah I got a place there..." etc... but there are also shows where he carries a theme through the one show -- "super creepy", Wilfred Brimley and "tasty cola" being three recent ones.

Bit if there are running gags will there could still appear on these Highlight show, and I dare say more people could click on to them.

To me he'll always be that guy who was in a Red Dwarf once - but I digress.

Countdown Masters from The Channel Four Daily, back in April 1989.

Does anyone know what this is from?
