CBS Late Night Changes

Is the NYC one they use Johnny Carsons original studio? That studio never was very big.

It's the original NYC studio yes, but they moved to California by the early 70s.

The current Tonight Show studio in NYC is Studio 6B at Rockerfeller Plaza.

It was Carson's studio, yes. Letterman's incarnation of 'Late Night' came from that studio too. It was renovated for The Tonight Show return and now fits a bigger audience than before.



I agree. His monologues are terrible...he couldn't deliver a joke to save his life. And his interviews are unbearable. The variety stuff he does though is alright and is what has made show relevant again.

Yes actually I have to say his sketches are actually quite good. The 'Saved By the Bell' one the other night was a recent highlight

I think Fallon shows he knows what his audiences like and what will get people's attention, such as the SBTB and Friends reunion and the Fresh Prince cold open. I just can't help but feel that he does these gimmicks as a substitute for his own material. Granted, I don't catch much of the Tonight Show, but I don't get very much of his personality when I do. All I can notice is his slightly uneasy face...

For anyone missing Craig Ferguson's show, he's now uploading short videos to YouTube with Josh Robert Thompson (Geoff).

It's great to see Josh is still sending Craig into fits of laughter.

Jon Stewart is leaving The Daily Show. This doesn't seem too much of a suprise, most assumed his hiatus a couple of years ago was a hint and while the show can still hold it's own, TDS seems to have been somewhat overshadowed by Jon Olliver's briliant HBO show this past year.

I wonder if Jon Oliver regrets leaving when he did, not only could he have got the former Colbert slot but if he hadn't have got that then the Daily Show is now up for grabs

I think he's happy with his new show, which is far superior. It critical acclaimed etc, and makes the stuff on comedy central look pure comedy.

His 30min slot has uncovered more stuff etc.

Comedy Central must be miffed but he needn't be, he's killing it on HBO. It's essentially and evolved, long form, version of The Daily Show that wouldn't have been able to happen on Comedy Central.
