“[Mo: Zachary Quinto, Juliette Lewis, SWMRS
Tu 7/19: Julia Stiles, Zoe Saldana, Paul Feig, Lewis Del Mar
We 7/20: Aaron Sorkin, Cheryl Hines, Scott Speedman,
Th 7/21: Chris Pine, Imogen Poots”

Zoe Saldana starred in several of the most profitable and seen movies in history: Avatar and Guardians of the Galaxy. That's even putting aside the Star Trek movies.

Quinto is another Star Trek actor. Seems like most people would know that, even if they didn't know him from Heroes or American Horror Story.

Paul Feig is the filmmaker behind a fair number of global megahit films.

Quito is the most iffy of that extra group, but they're hardly obscure or all that American-centric. Avatar, for example, is the 4th highest grossing film ever in UK returns. Even if she's computer animated, Zoe Saldana did massive press in the UK and her name is right there near the top of the credits. Bridesmaids, by Feig, was multi-BAFTA nominated, even if it didn't win, so there's a decent chance Brits know it and by extension at least his name, from that.

Cheryl Hines is pretty iffy. It basically comes down to one thing and one only: Is the person a Curb Your Enthusiasm fan. If not, then there's admittedly little to no way to know her outside of the US (and even inside the US it would only be through talk shows).

Lewis Del Mar and Imogen Poots are names even the US audience won't know. But US talk shows do this occasionally--fill a third guest spot with a little known person.

Scott Speedman is the only one (besides Hines, and perhaps in a way Sorkin) that's really unbalanced towards only US audiences knowing the person. Then again, even he's been in a few global movie hits (not usually in a main role, admittedly).

Until he appeared on the Norton show I'd never seen or heard of Fieg. Also can't recall seeing or knowing of Speedman before.

I've seen the rest in many things though.
There have been names on the show that I've not heard of before but as long as they give a good interview it's fine with me.

I've discovered some that are actually British but have spent most of their career in the US.

Although, unlike you, I actually agree with the article, I agree with you on this point. Watching a television programme or a film should be done on a TV, not a laptop or a tablet or a phone (unless doing a long distance journey or something)... I just can’t get my head out of that way of thinking – so people can call me old fashioned too. But I actually watch YouTube on my TV, via my Amazon box. And given you can now watch YouTube on your TV via smart TVs, via a Amazon/Roku/Apple/Android box, via SkyQ etc I can’t be alone in enjoying the best of The Late Late Show, on YouTube, in HD, on my TV – just a couple of hours after US broadcast.

As has already been mentioned this week in this thread – viewers have two options. Watch the latest Carpool Karaoke (or whatever segment is making headlines that day) on YouTube from about 10am (UK time) or wait until it appears on Sky On Demand from about 8pm (UK time). Yes, YouTube is only giving you the highlights and not the whole episode, but I suspect that’s all the casual viewers wants to watch anyway.

The total length of all the YouTube clips each day is usually about 25 minutes... and the full length of the episode if usually about 40 minutes – so you’re seeing most of the episode. What is generally missing is the majority of the interview segment, which (as I’ve referred to above) the casual viewer will usually be least interested in. I will concede though, if there are guests you are interested in on that particular night you really need to watch the full episode.

But unfortunately the average British person won’t want to sit through interviews with American guests they don’t know. People generally just aren’t that open-mined. This is why Letterman, Leno etc. never found success over here. When Letterman was on ITV2 (daily at 7pm) its ratings varied depending on who his gusts were – an A-lister would cause a spike, but normally the ratings were low. The same applies even for Graham Norton and Jonathan Ross – as a general rule, the bigger the guests, the bigger the ratings that week.
Of course there are those who watch the programme for the host, not the guests – and that’s where James Corden has an advantage with UK audiences over the likes of Fallon, Colbert, Conan etc. But to be a success you need to grab those casual viewers too who watch based on who the gusts are.
But no – your Dad is not alone. I watch every episode of ‘The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon’, ‘The Late Late Show with James Corden’, and ‘Conan’. Also ‘The Graham Norton Show’. Regardless of guests.



Don’t get me wrong, I’m really pleased ‘The Late Late Show with James Corden’ is now available on Sky. But I just question, in this technologically advanced age, does it really need to be? Or at least, in this technologically advanced age, is there enough demand for it?
Looking at the expiry dates of the episodes on Sky On Demand it appears they’ve signed a 1 year deal with the programme. It’s success will be decided whether Sky re-new that deal this time next year. I really do hope it’s successful, but I have my doubts. Only time will tell.

I find the interviews part really strained and awkward. His laughing is so fake. Each guest is trying to outdo each other with "funny" stories and failing.

An interesting article on Stephen Colbert’s response to rumours James Corden could replace him as host of The Late Show.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...time-slot.html

Some interesting stats from the article:
“Colbert's show currently averages 2.9million viewers per night, well ahead of Corden's 1.26million; both trail Jimmy Fallon's clear lead of 3.7million.” Although we should really be looking at demo ratings (where I think Fallon’s lead is made even greater).

“Colbert lags in the increasingly important secondary audience on YouTube: 513million views to the Brit's 1.41billion, thanks to mainly to his hugely popular Carpool Karaoke segmeny (again both are well behind Fallon on 5.46billion views).”

Really, I like the casual style of them and they well better then Jimmy Fallon who I just cringe at and feel awkward at when he interviews his guests and his interview segments last longer than cordons

Fallon is an idiot. But apparently the current US audience likes idiots, because his ratings are great. For years they supported Jay Leno, who in reality is not an idiot, but who pandered and made the least intelligent show possible.

One US Late Night show I think should work equally well in the UK is @midnight.

No idea if it gets decent British viewership as things stand though. My point is that theoretically the entire show should translate over fine vs. other US late night shows. It's a panel show, so it's a very familiar format to the UK. It's topical, but its more "internet topical" than US specific, so that works. The guests are people who if we're being frank, none of the UK viewers will know, but here's the rub--most of the US audience doesn't know them either because they are almost always stand-up comedians who if they are known to the viewers at all are known for small things. They're there to tell jokes, not be recognised, so that translates just fine. Probably the only barrier is that the host, Chis Hardwick, can be a bit of a tool, but the show works despite him, not because of him.

I've actually wondered for a while why @midnight hasn't done a London theme week. They did NY and have done Comic-con specials successfully. London would seem to be a natural. Film there for a week and book UK comedians. The US viewing audience will be fine with it--they've had plenty of international comedians on the show in the past.

Letterman did a week of London shows a few years back but it wasn't that successful. Wow it was actually 21 years ago. How time flies.

Fallon's incarnation of The Tonight Show is a slick and predictable product. The monologue is way sharper than Leno's quickfire non sequitors, the second segment is usually worth watching and I don't think either Cordon or Fallon are great interviewers but that no longer seems important.

I loved Chris Hardwicke's Doctor Who obsessiveness when Craig Ferguson hosted TLLS.

Can't see why this is up for Emmys at all.

Same old stuff with the house band and opening monologue etc

The only difference seems to be having all the guests on at the same time but it doesn't seem to work as well as on Graham Norton.

Corden isn't very funny and he's a poor interviewer.

Understatement. They were terrible, as funny and entertaining as a fire in an orphanage. One thing that sticks in my mind was a newspaper article which stated that the BBC had hundreds of complaints asking that they pull the episodes immediately and replace it with something else.

I think that's why these US chat shows will never be that successful over here. Their sense of humour is completely different. Mostly political satire and in jokes about stuff that has no relevance over here. Plus the guests are asked to take part in silly sketches or games that are mostly cringeworthy. Most of the hosts are not even listening to what their guests are saying. Corden and Fallon are always trying to be funnier than their guests. Interrupting them all the time when they are speaking.

For me personally, I don't find Letterman funny or entertaining, and the hype about him eludes me. And its the same 'schtick' every night.

Overall, I agree with you. I liked Leno, a man who as a stand up could think on his feet. I am old enough to remember when ITV tried to launch Johnny Carson here. Even with cultural edits, it was about as popular as a Nazi march in Tel Aviv. Carson was another I never got the hype about.

Me neither. Glad he retired. The only one I find funny out of the current crop is Conan O'Brien because he understands that it's not all about him. Craig Ferguson was quite funny also.
