Conan's empathy is unmatched both in the literal sense but also in a comedic sense - he cares about the comedy most of all, reminds me of Norm Macdonald at times (perhaps why he loved him as a guest) - He wants the funniest thing to happen even if it's somehow detrimental to himself. And that's just respect for the craft. I think he respects the talent around him and wants them to succeed as well, if he can help it.
For real. Conan is likeable, credible, and one of the good guys. The fact he didn’t replace Leno long term was detrimental to late night shows as a whole.
Leno donated half his salary so Tonight show employees wouldnt be let go. That left him with only 15 million a year. The man must be commended for his sacrifice.
I attended a taping of James Cordon’s show in 2018. I was visiting friends in LA and it was free. I’d never been to a show taping before, but I found it odd that between takes and off camera, he didn’t speak to a single person. He was glued to his phone the entire time and didn’t make eye contact with a single staffer, even the ones walking up to him to touch up his hair or give him something. The whole energy was “I don’t wanna be here” and then boom the charm came back on as soon as they started recording again
I went to a Colbert live taping and during pretty much every break he was talking to the audience and taking questions. Super professional and little different from his on air persona
Maybe he was recharging his energy. You would be surprise how many teachers shut down in between classes to give a rest to their voice and energy when interacting with others. Edit: wait, did you mean Corden or is this Cordon someone else?
@@rangersbaseball2 i don't know what to tell you. I genuinely thought they meant someone else. Then the youtuber began host by host and the first was JC so i got a "oh" moment. I'm not from USA half the people I know on the video are from yt clips 🙁
Seth Meyers does a YT only thing called Corrections, which requires watching his show on TY and commenting on what he got wrong, then he goes over all the mistakes with just his crew as the audience. It is brilliant.
@@NoName-no8ti”sounds stupid and boring” If you havent checked it out how could you know. Why you so negative?😂 I watch meyers from time to time and hes pretty good.
Seth Meyers can be funny, unfortunately he sh1t talked half the country and now looks like a complete political hack, which he absolutely didn't have to fall into. He is definitely boring now, very similar to Colbert. It's frustrating.
Love that Eddy went the distance and forced the studios to cause the strike just to shut down late night TV. Just don't see those levels of dedication from any other channel.
Remember that the Lord Jesus Christ died on a cross for you because He loves you so much. He then rose up from the dead three days later The Ten Commandments are called the moral law, (most of us are lying thieving blasphemous adulterer at heart and deserve hell) you and I broke the law, Jesus paid the fine. That’s what happened on that cross. By believing that Jesus died on the cross and rose up from the dead 3 days later and not just confessing your sin, but also repenting of all sin you have done and putting all your trust in Him in prayer, He will grant you everlasting life as a free Gift.
I was on vacation once in Norway and randomly ran into Seth Meyers at a bike rental shop (he was doing a show there). Me and my bf were huge fans and said hi to him (we kept it brief, I’m not one to bother a celebrity doing a leisure activity) but he was SO nice, so warm and friendly. We talked shortly and he took a selfie with us 10/10 celeb sighting. I’m glad you spoke so highly of him here, he seems like the coolest dude

he grew up a few towns over from me, gives me some new hampshire pride to know that we put out seth meyers and adam sandler (who went to the same high school as i did)
Eddy's bit about the crosswalk is a sad reminder that morbius and rainforest cafe have completely ruined the pleasure response mechanism in his brain 😢. Get well soon Eddy ❤️
@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist are you a bot or an actual person thinking that you make a difference? I'm very sorry, but nobody in a UA-cam comment section is going to turn to Jesus because of you, please spend your time doing more worthwhile things. Jesus wouldn't want you to be wasting your precious time on earth on a frivolous project. Spend time in your real world community helping the people around you, I promise you it will have a bigger impact on humanity and yourself than comments online. Peace and love fellow human 💚
@@lShishkaBerryl props for having the friendliest response to one of these replies I’ve ever seen. Most people are just like “fuck Jesus and fuck you, god isn’t real”. You taking a second to think that there may be a person behind that account trying to do good, even if it’s most likely just a bot, is super nice. Thanks for reminding me that people can be kind and considerate to each other.
@@burningsexuality1540 In all fairness, I don't think pushing your religion on unwanted people is ever "trying to do good", and that's probably why people respond unkindly. No one asked for a missionary.
One of the biggest moments of Colbert for me personally is when he asked Keanu what happens when we die, perhaps setting up for a more or less simple answer of how Reeves feels about the afterlife, but instead it allowed Reeves to draw on his experiences and respond "I know that the people who love us will miss us", and while that may not seem particularly deep to some people to those who have experienced such close familial loss (including both Reeves and Colbert), it was a deeply poignant moment of wisdom that isn't often heard in a late night interview. I had recently lost my brother at the time that clip surfaced and it hit me in the same way it hit Colbert in that moment. Sure I may not laugh at all his segments, but I really appreciate that moment happening.
i remember reading a gq interview w colbert right before he started on the late show that deeply affected me w the way he talked abt grief and performance. always will have a great deal of respect for him whether i like his show or not
I like to pretend eddy is standing in my room staring at me silently at night before i sleep, thats kind of like my own late night tv if you think about it. Thanks eddy :)
I thought I was the only one that did this! He tells me about pop culture events for the week then kisses my forehead and chokes me till I fall asleep. Eddy's such a good sleep paralysis demon ❤
The thumbnail for this video was left on the TV for a little bit and my mom said "I can't remember his name, but I like that guy in the middle the best." And when I pointed out that that was the creator of the video and someone she had likely never seen before, she said "I like his hair and he has kind eyes." You've got untapped potential in the 60+ female market, Eddy!
My Son lives in Woodland Hills (northern LA) we went down from Oregon to help work on his house. There’s a privately owned hardware store near his home, the lady that helped us is one of those writers. She said they absorbed the first several months, but then had to take supplemental jobs to prevent loosing everything. That strike hurt LOTS of people, the elites really stuck it to them. We later learned that her, and all 12 employees made it through, but not without suffering some severe losses.
@@AG81223 im not a fan of corden, and it was kinda mean to do that on tv, but i wouldnt describe it as horrific or a torture method. i have a phobia of space, but if someone showed me a picture of saturn i wouldnt lose my mind
Conan saw it coming years ago, so he tried to adjust to the UA-cam format until the quarantine happened and he saw the perfect opportunity to start fresh. A comedic genius and a once-in-a-lifetime entertainment master, but makes you wonder what that brain could have done if he was in another industry altogether.
Conan's always been great at trying new things, like during the 2007 writers' strike when he basically spent episodes dicking around at his desk doing things like seeing how long he could spin his wedding ring on the table. I think more than anything though I'll always remember him as a golden age Simpsons writer lol
Conan is great. The rest of them became wokenazi propogandists. The transformation of Colbert is extra cringe. He became everything he made fun of Craig was really good too
I once saw someone mention that Conan would be a great Taskmaster for an actually good US adaptation of british Taskmaster, and ever since, i can't get the idea out of my head. I'm sad that it will never happen.
I'm a proud jackal-what Seth Meyers has done to embrace his UA-cam audience really sets him apart. It's to the point where his Corrections segment is starting to bleed into other parts of his show. Getting to see the genuine Seth-without his writers, with complete freedom to do whatever he wants-is... It's so refreshing. He also challenges the nature of parasociality by extending genuine love and appreciation to us. I dunno, it just feels really good. He doesn't feel like a late night host, he feels like a friend who just happens to do late night TV.
It is honestly shocking to me that Leno had any fans left AT ALL after what he did to Conan. I'm so glad that Conan gained such a following and had such a successful show, he's genuinely the only late night host that I find enjoyable.
yeah conan was a great writer for the simpsons who carried the transitionary period between the first team and the replacements and then he went on to keep being funny. COlbert was actually funny too so im really not sure what happened to him.
Really early on in the pandemic, mathematician Matt Parker put out an incredible video specifically targeting the now-at-home late night show hosts, teaching them how to use cameras and get good angles and such; Seth Meyers specifically called out Parker and gave thanks, and eventually had him in the audience for a taping of Corrections. Cheers to the unsung hero Matt Parker.
@D Dd I think there aren't many people with a similar breath of knowledge if they aren't on UA-cam They operate with departments so individuals typically don't hold all the keys, whereas UA-cam people as a rule are individual productions
I fully support the writers strike! If it means we have to go years without late night content-that is a sacrifice I’m willing to make!! Let’s go writers!!! Let’s go writers!!! Let’s go writers!!!
I'm getting more entertainment from the strike than I would from any scripted TV or movies. You can't write anything half as entertaining as real chaos.
Yeah, but on the other hand, they are all shitty writers anyway, so they realistically shouldn't be demanding anything. I hate late night shows, all they have been for the last 6 years are Trump-bashing sessions and boring "comedy", so I'm not for either side, i want em all gone!
"I think we were all too hard on Jimmy Fallon" is kinda wild in retrospect considering the whistleblower articles that came out not long after this video.
I'm glad that you brought up the WGA strike. People really don't understand the pay (or lack thereof) that the average writer in television and film gets. Someone on twitter posted a picture of their father's residual pay from a bunch of SNL episodes he helped write, and it was a total of less than $20 for what must have been 50+ episodes. Some of the residuals were literally one cent per episode.
Conan will always be #1 in my book. I even have a cat named Conan. It was a placeholder name as a kitten(we didnt plan on keeping her) due to the huge orange spot she has(and still does) on her head.
During the strike, some of the late night writers did a podcast to get sponsor money to pay their staff which was really cool of them. Fallon, Kimmel, Meyers, Colbert, and John Oliver. Strike Force Five, highly recommend the podcast, its hilarious.
I’ve always found the graham Norton show to be the ideal version of a late night talk show: conversational, quick, and effective. Graham is just the conduit for the stuff we actually want to see, which is fun celebrity interaction
correct me if i'm wrong, but norton is BBC, which means he is ad free in his home country. the fact that he isn't a zombie coporate mouthpiece instantly prevents a show of that quality to be produced in the US
Graham Norton despite not being a daily night time tv show is the gold standard of what these shows should try to be. Seeing 5-6 huge movie stars, directors and comedians together talk about Hollywood and reminisce is something that is much more entertaining than solo one on one interviews. You get to see the interaction not just between the host and stars but also of the guests amongst themselves. And putting 5 big faces on a couch together is still something that UA-cam and internet shows cant manage (yet), something that these TV networks should be able to pull off on a regular basis.
It’s like someone decided to have a cocktail party and started filming. The guests are just so relaxed you almost forget they’re their to promote soemthing
@@DarMar106 Matt Damon famously said that Graham Norton was the most fun he'd ever had on a talk show. The number of viral clips from Graham Norton is nuts - he really does get people to say and do things that they don't do in any other setting, yet he seems to keep it just this side of being mean.
@@cv990a4 He never drags his guest through the political stuff. I once saw Stephen Colbert trying to insert something something Trump in an interview with Sir Patrick Stewart and another famous British actress (if my memory serves me right) and it was *A W K W A R D*. Like they aren't Americans, they are here to promote stuff and they are established artists, at least show some respect.
@ItsukaShimotsuki Asking Patrick Stewart about Trump specifically is stupid, but Patrick Stewart has always been politically active and is publicly a socialist. Asking him political questions doesn't seem to be lacking in respect.
love that you elevated seth meyers. i also watched a closer look during quarantine, his bits were well adjusted and actually funny, i still actively watch every update to a closer look to this day and i love his other segments too where he lets his writers shine, even being the butt of their joke {i.e. surprise inspection, jokes seth cant tell, etc.} his show works on the online space and i think as the ratings drop he'll just go with the motions and let his online platform grow instead. he's a great host and i hope at least his show prospers going forward.
Considering the current writers strike, it’s relevant to mention another instance of James being an asshole to crew is when he showed up to a private WGA meeting to advocate for lower pay for late night writers
I believe that Conan is one of the most naturally funny people in entertainment, I could rewatch his remotes and bits continuously and never get tired of it. Plus he’s a genuinely good guy who paid his writers from his own pocket during the 2007 writer’s strike, and took all of his staff with him to TBS after being screwed over by Leno. Conan knows his style of comedy and has stuck with it for 30 years, he’s unapologetically himself and it’s really admirable for the viewers. He’ll forever be the peak late night talk show host
Even though I'm nowhere near California, I now I want to make a fake memorial at the Corden crosswalk with flowers, a cross, and a photo of an AI-generated person who doesn't exist...
Late night died with Letterman and Ferguson. Conan was ok too, but not something you turn on the TV for. Ferguson you can still watch today and every episode is hilarious.
Nothing says not cringe like "dancing" by moving your legs by twitching your hands like you are your own Marionette. It may have been a warning when you think about it. He was telling us that he's just a puppet.
@johnpaulsabellano7415 what part of that is confusing? You're telling me you know Conan, but don't know his weird ass signature move for a decade before he went to mainstream media?
@miisher I respect that in a historical context of who he is. The internet isn't that old though and these people still think circa 2005 doesn't exist.
I think there's something about the fact that someone who got famous playing a satirical character shifted to being his genuine, authentic self with his heart on his sleeve.
100% agreed on Conan. I discovered him in the mid-to-late 90s, somewhere around middle school and high school. I didn't have a TV in my room, but as I was getting older I was starting to stay up later. In particular I stayed up during summer break, and at the time my dad was working swing shift. Conan's show started around the time my dad got home, so we'd watch it together. It was partly that I had a show to share with my dad, but partly what you said-I found Conan on my own, and was hooked on how silly he was and how great his gift was for rolling with the punches; he could turn material that flopped into something gold with his reactions.
I'm 41 years old. Conan was the reason I missed first period most days in high school. In Utah, he came on at 12:05 am after a stupid ass eoisode of Mad About You following Leno. The memories I have of that man and his insane late night show, will last forever. No one will top Conan for me.
In my head they are just two completely separate shows anyway. I’ve never thought of one being a continuation of the other, so I think of Craig Ferguson’s show as going out well, and another show that sucks filled the time slot.
The Tonight Show going from Conan to Fallon is up there too. Conan didn't even have enough time to find his footing on The Tonight Show before they kicked him to the curb.
@@guystudios ah Trevor Noah that guy that made everything about colour politics without knowing proper history that Trevor Noah ? Daily show died the moment he took over from Jon Stewart.
I feel like Graham Norton is still able to draw viewers to the celebrity culture aspect because you get funny interactions between groups of celebrities you would never normally see together, and Graham is a fantastic conduit for the guests stories. Julie Walter's putting her hand in 50 Cents mouth to feel the bullet shrapnel is a prime example, you can't get that kind of content anywhere else.
his show also lets them drink and not do one person interview while the previous guest is on the couch hiding from the camera lol. Honestly in american late night my favourite interview clips are when the previews guest gets involved
Carpool Karaoke, Crosswalk Musical, interviewing all of his guests together like Graham Norton does were the good things about Corden’s show. But every time James did the segment called “Celebrity Noses”, where everything goes wrong and James completely loses his sh!t, that’s when we got to meet the real James.
My friend is an animator on the team for the animations for Stephen Colbert’s show, and she says he is the sweetest guy who buys them snacks and tries to really talk to everyone when he visits. He seems really genuine.
@@karlwithak1835dumb statement Money does not make everyone nice, must be quite the mossy rock you live under considering you’ve been under there a while
Watch old Colbert report he went from making fun of the corporate sick puppets to being a corporate sock puppet. The transformation of Colbert is soo cringe it's hard to watch. There's no lie or insanity to big for him to tell his audience
Seth Meyer’s UA-cam exclusive segment Corrections is like, by far the best thing to come out of late night in the last 2-3 years. Consistently funny and shows how talented/funny Seth is, plus you clearly see how much he loves his crew
Corrections segments are unhinged and I love it so much. I think part of it is that I love watching funny people make other funny people laugh. Corrections jokes are like at least 40% playing to the writers and crew.
Seth is the only Late Night host I kept sticking with. His show really grew with the Corona lockdown and yeah, it's all about Seth and the writers and Wally playing off of each other, giving the whole thing such a cozy familiar atmosphere.
Ill always remember conan going to a historical reenactment place and this one girl stayed FULLY in the character of a colonial girl whokept giving him answers he didnt see coming and she ended up delivering some of the best punch lines and the audience and clearly conan fell in love with the girl cause she ended up in the entire skit.
OMG YES. The first time I saw it was back when AIM instant messenger was the ticket (im 33) and someone posted a link to that video in their buddy profile 🤣 I DIED then, and still rewatch it every year. When he points to the sky ominously, in full 1800s attire, and shouts “what ho!? what is that demonry!?!” and the camera angle pans over to an airplane💀💀 It was one of his best!
Bro literally unwatchable, Jokes are mostly politics. I think he gets paid for party promotion. Usually in Nepal we have political comedian but they make fun of all. Are you from US? Like he was also anti-space exploration, Like some technology video makes me cringe
Conan was the only one for me, no one ever got close to him, he's an outstanding compassionate human being and imo one of the top 5 comedians and entertainers that ever lived. You can throw ANY situation at him and he will make it work and make it funny. He was a legend to his staff, and extremely compassionate.
My reply was prefixed with "imo" if you notice, you know, "in my opinion"? People are still allowed to have opinions and personal tastes right? I never claimed as fact. So no, I won't think about my own opinion any further than I already have regarding my top 5 comedians.Why be so sanctimonious? You don't like it? Fine, make your own list of top 5 comedians, literally no one will care but you. @@AyeBigN8
Let's face it: The internet is killing network TV. Wether that's good or bad, it's happening. So it makes sense that with the approaching death of network TV, its staples, like late night shows, are also dying.
I would say choice is killing network TV. As soon as I was given better options, like watching when and where I want, on which provider I wanted and even shows from different countries (which I have found to be infinitely better than American TV), then it was over for broadcast. I haven't watched a network TV show, on TV, in close to 15 years. That show was South Park and I don't even watch that anymore. Network TV is boring, predictable, and the writing/dialog is terrible.
That and for some reason old people hate him. My dad absolutely dispised him and never had a good reason, then Conan made that hidden camera bit where he had old people in a focus group watching Conan and giving negative reviews and when asked by Conan himself they too had no actual reasons and they all had no clue it was Conan asking the interview questions.
Absolutely, Conan is wonderful! @@Tyway I think it has to do with the Jay Leno issue. I read sometime ago that older people like Leno more than Conan, but I don't know why though.
I am part of the Craig Ferguson cult following. It was a late night show where, on one side of the host, there was the co-host - a gay robot skeleton. On the other side, there were two guys in a horse suit. The guest, a famous actor would come on, the movie they're in would be mention once and then Craig would ask them something along the lines of "So? How's it been for you? Have you been swimming a lot?" and before that his monologue would have like a minute of silence after a weird joke. True punk version of the late night formula.
Craig's interview with Notch (before Notch became a crazy incel) was pure gold for these reasons. I don't think any other late night host could have interviewed a game developer and gotten something half as funny.
I really think the fascination with late night started going down when social media started becoming more popular. Because before, it felt like talk shows were rare times when you could watch a celebrity being themselves, and hear about their stories. Now, everybody knows everything that is happening in that second through social media, and the "magic" that was there decades ago just isn't there anymore.
Doesn't help late night talk shows are so woefully out of touch with the common man and problems or what's going on that they desperately try to cater by saying things that only their friends would like instead of what the audience wants.
it definitely didn't feel like that, celebrities come on to do shitty promos not be themselves. generally the worst part of every light night show is when they have the random celeb of the week come out to promote something.
I think it's really put the death knell in late night TV - I've gotten used to not watching colbert / daily show / seth (at least the opening parts I used to watch - I never watched the guests with very few exceptions, and the views on youtube of the various segments of their shows show that no one cares about the guests now) and I'm kindof glad to not hear the same take on the news every day from 3 different sets of writers, usually 2 of which make the exact same joke. Bring back the late night of old - conan or craig ferguson - shows that were legitimately funny, and not just the news re-hashed in a snarky way.
I also started watching Colbert’s Late Show during quarantine and really enjoyed it. He got back into the studio and I don’t think I lasted more than a week.
Colbert’s greatest strength and draw is himself. His current show completely strips him of that. Replace him on any ordinary episode of the late show with somebody else and nothing changes. The show feels so alienating for some reason. That’s why the quarantine episodes resonated with so many people: with everything else stripped down, he’s allowed to shine. His contract ends at the end of 2026. I kind of hope he doesn’t renew it and does something else.
Idk if you’ll ever seen this man, but this is quality content, hooked me in and the video was way better than I expected from the thumbnail and title. Good job man keep it up I’ll be watching you thruther
Craig Ferguson was my personal favorite, his run as the host of the late late show was hilarious and when he introduced Geoff Peterson it took the show to the next level.
He's the only one I ever wanted to watch live, because it always seemed like his goal was to bend and twist the entire format to its breaking point. To this day I'll still put on old episodes while I'm pottering around the house.
As a guy in his 30s, I haven't watched live TV in at least a decade and tbh I'm shocked to learn that people younger than me were doing so as recently as 2020.
I’m 56 and same… around a decade now for me too. I don’t think it’s about age, more about your knowledge of what is available. I still meet people who have no notion of how big & how varied in content You Tube is. My TV in the living room can’t even receive any old school TV… it is only connected to the net.
I appreciate the segment on the WGA strike a lot, it’s especially important to bring up with the topic of late night shows so I’m really glad it was covered
Stephen Colbert quitting the Colbert Report for late night tv was one of the things that made me truly have to embrace the feeling of letting go, and enjoying things while they last.
I remember the last time there was a writers strike Conan put on some of the most insane episodes of television in talk show history. It was brilliant and it showed just how amazing he is.
I do feel like Colbert's ability to have earnest conversations with celebrities is his biggest strength outside of his career in satire. I think he would be far better suited to following Conan and just doing a podcast with guests so he can highlight those strengths as an interviewer. Few hosts I've seen on TV have been capable of getting me to tear up like him.
shocked to not see eddy touch on the state of seth meyers’ corrections segment. it’s only gotten better since its inception and seth’s rapport with his fans and crew is phenomenal every time. it’s a hard buy in for new viewers, requiring you to watch EVERY prior episode to understand a new one (no joke), but i think that’s kind of a great sign. seth clearly cares more about having fun and making something entertaining than making it wildly successful. the energy in the room is palpable every time, and i’m so charmed by the decision to keep filming corrections without an audience in the room, even once the audience came back to the rest of the show. seth is easily the best late night host still sticking around and i hope that he continues onto something just as great whenever he steps down. proud to be a jackal
yessss i know plenty of people who genuinely just watch corrections and no other content from the show. i honestly can see it becoming a sort of cult series in the future
Corrections is great, would really love to hear Eddy's thoughts on it. I think Seth is doing such a great job of trying to grow the late night talk show format, I still find the guest segments to be a bore but A Closer Look and Corrections are really solid and I enjoy watching them on a regular basis.
Conan had always been my favorite for all that eddy said, he’s a frequent at my restaurant and he’s always so nice and genuine. Even to people who come up and recognize him he’s never been rude but again they are still people who need privacy regardless he handles it very well.
I've seen this term used on reddit, but as non native speaker and living in a different culture I don't know chad means. Could you, please, explain? I am not satisfied with explanations I found on Urban dictionary
What's even more "Chad" is that Fallon was able to put on blackface in front of the Roots and it didn't end his career. So either the Root's are pussies for not cancelling him for being racist, or Fallon is a true mob b0$$ for coming out of it unscathed.
@Ivan Bitunjac what the person above me said, but it is very slang, a "Chad" is the ideal definition of a man, because people named Chad are known to be very cool.
Agreed. I’ve been a fan since I was a little kid. There’s pictures and videos of me as a 3-4 year old in the early 90s laughing at him. Watched him all my life and still watch him now.
Honestly I’m really impressed by how much eddy’s videos have evolved and improved, it feels like he’s gone from just another commentary channel ( not that they were bad, just less unique and creative) to a real juggernaut in quality UA-cam content, both here and on Burback. The videos he (and tony) are making and superb and I always look forward to an upload and frequently rewatch my favourites. Keep it up. Also he has the strongest moustache on UA-cam.
idk 80 percent of the video was just him talking over clips of late night hosts talking. It sorta relates to what he’s saying but usually it’s only when he’s finishing a point that the clip on screen will be relevant. Evolved and improved is a stretch, consistent with his past videos? Definitely. I feel like this is a step into what felt safe and easy to deliver and didn’t require any filming, just mostly reading his script and editing. Which is pretty basic on both ends.
Thank you for bringing up the strike. Both of my parents are WGA so we're at a total loss of income. But, their spirits are high and it really helps when people speak out and humanize writers. There is so much misinformation, but the fact is that writers are integral to all of the TV and movies we see in one way or another. It's the kind and right thing to stand alongside them.
@@metallicakixtotalass What exactly is your angle here? To side with the filthy rich studio execs? Every worker deserves fair compensation for their labor.
@@metallicakixtotalass most writers never see the wages to ever been considered upper class. what's it like being ignorant to the real struggles of individuals and just regurgitating incorrect information that helps you sleep at night?
Seth Myers corrections and closer look is the only one I consistently watch. I like his humor and how he interacts with staff and writers plus his format is a lot less formal and comes off as more genuine. Also everything about corrections is amazing and seems to be a great way to keep up with the more online audience as actual television watchers is falling
Corrections for the win!!! Honestly, everything else is trash. Most of the monologues involve stories of Trump or other people I’d rather not have living rent free in my brain. Having the late night guys on strike has helped me detox from the monologues on UA-cam.
The podcast boom of the past few years has been great when it comes to celebrity interviews. There's no overblown sketches, no getting dolled up to talk to someone for 15 minutes, no having to wait until the audience stops unrealistically laughing. These interview podcasts are more casual, personal and feel like real conversations. Those that film their podcasts show that the guests usually just wear their comfort clothes for when they're not working. The conversations are more focused on the guest as a person than as a celebrity. They just seem to be far more charming to me than all these late night shows. There are a lot of good interview podcasts, but my go to is Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum which I feel perfectly captures the overall vibe of these podcasts.
Enjoyed every second with him and Tom together on Smallville, and it was definitely a delightful surprise to stumble across his YT channel. His interview with Morena Bacarin was golden - was she always hiding that potty mouth, or was she infected by Ryan ? 😂
Thank you for covering the strike! My dad is a labor foreman on movie sets and is being affected too. We’re hoping that positive change will come from this.
I remember during the height of BLM protests instead of discussing black struggles himself, Seth Meyers let Amber Ruffin talk about her experiences with racism. I really respect him for that.
Personally this is why late night has failed in recent years. When they decided to do social justice and become highly opinionated with their political beliefs is when most people tuned out. It’s a comedy variety show not “The View”. I’m not trying to debate politics here I’m just telling the truth. Jimmy Kimmel recently admitted on a podcast that he knew when he took a stand against Trump and talk more politics he’d most likely lose half his audience. He was right.
Late night is analogous to say a former boomtown, drilling for oil, mining, everyone came, what have you. And when the profits dried up and it becomes less appealing, it just turns into a quiet pass through town only few love to visit.
Not at all. Late-night shows were spiritual pillars of TV monoculture. There were 3 of them and everyone knew what they were and who hosted them. There are thousands of popular podcasts and if you asked a random person on the street who Marc Maron is, they'd probably have no idea.
@@doupard Podcasts and radio are not the same either. Radio has a fundamental urgency that podcasts do not have. The approach is completely different. Radio was largely local as well. Stations were designed to be embedded in the communities in which they operated. Podcasts lack place for the most part. They're disconnected from the world the listener lives in.
Conan's Late Nite on NBC late 90s through late 2000s to me was the most hilarious, self-deprecating, down to earth late show. They made the most WTF characters and skits under the excuse that no one was watching that late. You could tell they did whatever they wanted and laughed at themselves if the props looked cheap and hilariously underfunded. They constantly made a mockery of late night comedy standards and I loved it.
18:41 This is something I've noticed about Seth Meyers as well, the way he integrates the crew and writers is great, it doesn't feel forced at all, they're just a bunch of friends and it really shows. Theres so many segments thats basically just shining a spotlight on the writers and rest of the crew. It's something that nobody else has replicated as well and I really enjoy it.
one interesting bit that seth has been doing is corrections. it’s seems like they are almost the opposite of designed to go viral, they are filled with inside jokes and plot lines that carry throughout weeks on end, and aren’t titled in a way that would really draw in viewers. and yet, they are incredibly popular. he is just funny, intelligent, understands the relationship he has built with his audience, has very good chemistry with his crew, and genuinely looks like he is having a blast.
Seth Meyers and John Oliver are the only ones i consistently watch, and I only watch it in youtube the next day! John Oliver in particular I really enjoy bc it feels like more a podcast or an essay video. My law professor is the one who introduced him to me by showing his Police Interrogations video in class
Shows like Last Week Tonight or the Daily Show I guess fit into the broader late night talk show genre. But they really deserve their own category. But I do agree with you, Meyers and Oliver are really the only ones I ever click on if they come across my YT feed. But I've always enjoyed Seth Meyers and John Oliver is a Liverpool fan. So maybe I'm just biased.
I never thought of it before but this is true, I really do only watch Meyers and Oliver. I used to watch a lot of Daily Show on UA-cam but a Closer Look felt like a better version of that and Seth's show in general feels a lot less scripted so I kind of just stopped with most of the others.
Conan will always stand as one of the best comedians and show hosts in my book. To this day I actively search for his old and new content because it really is timeless. And like Eddy, I too love Conans travel series and the way he always tried to be emersed in the different cultures as well as make it soo freaking funny
As a car lover and someone who tries to take exquisite care of his older car, the noises when his lardy butt stood on then jumped off the hood of that poor random person's then brand new Corolla drove me just as insane. How egotistical.
I feel like John Oliver gets left out of these conversations, but between John and Seth that style is on lock and I'm all here for it, although I'm more partial to John just personally.
Thank you, I see everyone washing their hands of the late night shows when I GENUINELY so enjoy Seth and his styles. His dry wit is incredible and his writers are peerless.
@@burgermind802 Seth definitely had his growing pains, especially during Covid, but I think he absolutely grew into his own You can kind of see that in the way the Animaniacs lampooned him in their reboot versus how he is now.
I’m so glad Eddy brought up Ziwe, because i truly think that Ziwe’s show was one of the BEST ‘late night’ style shows of the last 10 years. because it feels like a parody of these shows with a HUGE lean in on their genZ audience who watches all of the content online

I remember when Conan paid out of his own pocket for his crew for like months. Mad respect for Conan the last G of late night
Conan's empathy is unmatched both in the literal sense but also in a comedic sense - he cares about the comedy most of all, reminds me of Norm Macdonald at times (perhaps why he loved him as a guest) - He wants the funniest thing to happen even if it's somehow detrimental to himself. And that's just respect for the craft. I think he respects the talent around him and wants them to succeed as well, if he can help it.
For real. Conan is likeable, credible, and one of the good guys. The fact he didn’t replace Leno long term was detrimental to late night shows as a whole.
Never liked late night much but Conan is fantastic. I listen to every episode of his podcast.
Leno donated half his salary so Tonight show employees wouldnt be let go. That left him with only 15 million a year. The man must be commended for his sacrifice.
Conan's the best

I attended a taping of James Cordon’s show in 2018. I was visiting friends in LA and it was free. I’d never been to a show taping before, but I found it odd that between takes and off camera, he didn’t speak to a single person. He was glued to his phone the entire time and didn’t make eye contact with a single staffer, even the ones walking up to him to touch up his hair or give him something. The whole energy was “I don’t wanna be here” and then boom the charm came back on as soon as they started recording again
I went to a Colbert live taping and during pretty much every break he was talking to the audience and taking questions. Super professional and little different from his on air persona
James Corden is an ass boil so that isn't shocking
Maybe he was recharging his energy. You would be surprise how many teachers shut down in between classes to give a rest to their voice and energy when interacting with others.
Edit: wait, did you mean Corden or is this Cordon someone else?

Seth Meyers can be funny, unfortunately he sh1t talked half the country and now looks like a complete political hack, which he absolutely didn't have to fall into. He is definitely boring now, very similar to Colbert. It's frustrating.
Love that Eddy went the distance and forced the studios to cause the strike just to shut down late night TV. Just don't see those levels of dedication from any other channel.
If Eddy can't be a late-night host, no one can!
Obviously that's what happened, what else could it be?

Thank you! Yes.
Thats basically how the video concludes
When and if I can I will buy a cable package and support the industry
One of the biggest moments of Colbert for me personally is when he asked Keanu what happens when we die, perhaps setting up for a more or less simple answer of how Reeves feels about the afterlife, but instead it allowed Reeves to draw on his experiences and respond "I know that the people who love us will miss us", and while that may not seem particularly deep to some people to those who have experienced such close familial loss (including both Reeves and Colbert), it was a deeply poignant moment of wisdom that isn't often heard in a late night interview. I had recently lost my brother at the time that clip surfaced and it hit me in the same way it hit Colbert in that moment. Sure I may not laugh at all his segments, but I really appreciate that moment happening.
I will always love Colbert for the way he talks about grief.
i remember reading a gq interview w colbert right before he started on the late show that deeply affected me w the way he talked abt grief and performance. always will have a great deal of respect for him whether i like his show or not
I for one have never laughed at a single thing uttered by Colbert.
He's a pathetic heel -

Oh !
I thought I was the only one that did this! He tells me about pop culture events for the week then kisses my forehead and chokes me till I fall asleep. Eddy's such a good sleep paralysis demon ❤
The thumbnail for this video was left on the TV for a little bit and my mom said "I can't remember his name, but I like that guy in the middle the best." And when I pointed out that that was the creator of the video and someone she had likely never seen before, she said "I like his hair and he has kind eyes." You've got untapped potential in the 60+ female market, Eddy!
Aww that’s so wholesome!

Because he is a Marc Maron twin. That’s why your mom thought she knew who it was.
Vic, I don't know how to tell you this, but...
Eddy's been tapping that potential. Frequently.
Eddy's your new stepdad.
My Son lives in Woodland Hills (northern LA) we went down from Oregon to help work on his house. There’s a privately owned hardware store near his home, the lady that helped us is one of those writers. She said they absorbed the first several months, but then had to take supplemental jobs to prevent loosing everything. That strike hurt LOTS of people, the elites really stuck it to them. We later learned that her, and all 12 employees made it through, but not without suffering some severe losses.
The fact Corden exploited Alice Coopers actual phobia for entertainment is actually horrific. Thats like a torture method.

@@thatoneguy6114 I get that. I took your comment as completely trying to defend Corden's actions.
I wonder if it's an actual phobia or if he has misophonia (which is a neurological condition).
Conan saw it coming years ago, so he tried to adjust to the UA-cam format until the quarantine happened and he saw the perfect opportunity to start fresh. A comedic genius and a once-in-a-lifetime entertainment master, but makes you wonder what that brain could have done if he was in another industry altogether.
This is the right answer. lol
Conan's always been great at trying new things, like during the 2007 writers' strike when he basically spent episodes dicking around at his desk doing things like seeing how long he could spin his wedding ring on the table. I think more than anything though I'll always remember him as a golden age Simpsons writer lol
Conan is great. The rest of them became wokenazi propogandists. The transformation of Colbert is extra cringe. He became everything he made fun of
Craig was really good too
yeah conan has a 170 iq lol. probably one of the smartest people in show business
I once saw someone mention that Conan would be a great Taskmaster for an actually good US adaptation of british Taskmaster, and ever since, i can't get the idea out of my head. I'm sad that it will never happen.

I'm a proud jackal-what Seth Meyers has done to embrace his UA-cam audience really sets him apart. It's to the point where his Corrections segment is starting to bleed into other parts of his show.
Getting to see the genuine Seth-without his writers, with complete freedom to do whatever he wants-is... It's so refreshing.
He also challenges the nature of parasociality by extending genuine love and appreciation to us.
I dunno, it just feels really good. He doesn't feel like a late night host, he feels like a friend who just happens to do late night TV.
It is honestly shocking to me that Leno had any fans left AT ALL after what he did to Conan. I'm so glad that Conan gained such a following and had such a successful show, he's genuinely the only late night host that I find enjoyable.
i like conan’s episodes in the simpsons
yeah conan was a great writer for the simpsons who carried the transitionary period between the first team and the replacements and then he went on to keep being funny. COlbert was actually funny too so im really not sure what happened to him.
Leno is loved by less-hateful-Boomers. Conan is too funny/spicy, Jay Leno is "ketchup-is-spicy"-Safe version for those who watch things late at night.
@im sacred lol
@@BrentMalice colbert went from being a writer into someone who repeats what people wrote for him
Really early on in the pandemic, mathematician Matt Parker put out an incredible video specifically targeting the now-at-home late night show hosts, teaching them how to use cameras and get good angles and such; Seth Meyers specifically called out Parker and gave thanks, and eventually had him in the audience for a taping of Corrections. Cheers to the unsung hero Matt Parker.
Love me some Matt Parker. I did not know Seth did that. Really cool.
@D Dd I think there aren't many people with a similar breath of knowledge if they aren't on UA-cam
They operate with departments so individuals typically don't hold all the keys, whereas UA-cam people as a rule are individual productions
@D Dd that's assuming the television studios had people who understand computers running them
I knew I loved Seth Meyers for some reason
Sounds like a bit of a square.
A Parker square, y'might say...
I fully support the writers strike! If it means we have to go years without late night content-that is a sacrifice I’m willing to make!! Let’s go writers!!! Let’s go writers!!! Let’s go writers!!!
I'm getting more entertainment from the strike than I would from any scripted TV or movies. You can't write anything half as entertaining as real chaos.
Yeah, but on the other hand, they are all shitty writers anyway, so they realistically shouldn't be demanding anything. I hate late night shows, all they have been for the last 6 years are Trump-bashing sessions and boring "comedy", so I'm not for either side, i want em all gone!

I'm glad that you brought up the WGA strike. People really don't understand the pay (or lack thereof) that the average writer in television and film gets.

During the strike, some of the late night writers did a podcast to get sponsor money to pay their staff which was really cool of them. Fallon, Kimmel, Meyers, Colbert, and John Oliver. Strike Force Five, highly recommend the podcast, its hilarious.

I’ve always found the graham Norton show to be the ideal version of a late night talk show: conversational, quick, and effective. Graham is just the conduit for the stuff we actually want to see, which is fun celebrity interaction

Graham is sooooo good but in general British TV is just better
Graham Norton despite not being a daily night time tv show is the gold standard of what these shows should try to be. Seeing 5-6 huge movie stars, directors and comedians together talk about Hollywood and reminisce is something that is much more entertaining than solo one on one interviews. You get to see the interaction not just between the host and stars but also of the guests amongst themselves. And putting 5 big faces on a couch together is still something that UA-cam and internet shows cant manage (yet), something that these TV networks should be able to pull off on a regular basis.
It’s like someone decided to have a cocktail party and started filming. The guests are just so relaxed you almost forget they’re their to promote soemthing
@@DarMar106 Matt Damon famously said that Graham Norton was the most fun he'd ever had on a talk show. The number of viral clips from Graham Norton is nuts - he really does get people to say and do things that they don't do in any other setting, yet he seems to keep it just this side of being mean.
@@cv990a4 He never drags his guest through the political stuff. I once saw Stephen Colbert trying to insert something something Trump in an interview with Sir Patrick Stewart and another famous British actress (if my memory serves me right) and it was *A W K W A R D*. Like they aren't Americans, they are here to promote stuff and they are established artists, at least show some respect.
Valid
@ItsukaShimotsuki Asking Patrick Stewart about Trump specifically is stupid, but Patrick Stewart has always been politically active and is publicly a socialist. Asking him political questions doesn't seem to be lacking in respect.
love that you elevated seth meyers. i also watched a closer look during quarantine, his bits were well adjusted and actually funny, i still actively watch every update to a closer look to this day and i love his other segments too where he lets his writers shine, even being the butt of their joke {i.e. surprise inspection, jokes seth cant tell, etc.} his show works on the online space and i think as the ratings drop he'll just go with the motions and let his online platform grow instead. he's a great host and i hope at least his show prospers going forward.
Considering the current writers strike, it’s relevant to mention another instance of James being an asshole to crew is when he showed up to a private WGA meeting to advocate for lower pay for late night writers
ok
HOLY FK! Really, ByeByeDeadName??!!
I believe that Conan is one of the most naturally funny people in entertainment, I could rewatch his remotes and bits continuously and never get tired of it. Plus he’s a genuinely good guy who paid his writers from his own pocket during the 2007 writer’s strike, and took all of his staff with him to TBS after being screwed over by Leno. Conan knows his style of comedy and has stuck with it for 30 years, he’s unapologetically himself and it’s really admirable for the viewers. He’ll forever be the peak late night talk show host
Hard agree.
Conan and Craig were the best. The rest of them will say or do anything for ratings
Conan being one of the funniest people in late night history and also just a great human being is a very popular opinion. Rightly so.

@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 Who hates Conservative people.
100% agreed on Conan. I discovered him in the mid-to-late 90s, somewhere around middle school and high school. I didn't have a TV in my room, but as I was getting older I was starting to stay up later. In particular I stayed up during summer break, and at the time my dad was working swing shift. Conan's show started around the time my dad got home, so we'd watch it together. It was partly that I had a show to share with my dad, but partly what you said-I found Conan on my own, and was hooked on how silly he was and how great his gift was for rolling with the punches; he could turn material that flopped into something gold with his reactions.
He wrote for the Simpsons too 😊 Love that man
I'm 41 years old. Conan was the reason I missed first period most days in high school. In Utah, he came on at 12:05 am after a stupid ass eoisode of Mad About You following Leno. The memories I have of that man and his insane late night show, will last forever. No one will top Conan for me.
I cant think of a greater drop-off in quality than the Late Late Show going from Craig Ferguson to James Corden
In my head they are just two completely separate shows anyway. I’ve never thought of one being a continuation of the other, so I think of Craig Ferguson’s show as going out well, and another show that sucks filled the time slot.
My god Craig was good. Such a downgrade
They went from having too much charisma to too little and it was unintentionally hilarious.
The only other host after Conan is Craig. Two of the best ever.
The Tonight Show going from Conan to Fallon is up there too. Conan didn't even have enough time to find his footing on The Tonight Show before they kicked him to the curb.
Conan is the only comedian out of all the names mentioned just now. Truly a legend and the best. My respect to him.

I feel like Graham Norton is still able to draw viewers to the celebrity culture aspect because you get funny interactions between groups of celebrities you would never normally see together, and Graham is a fantastic conduit for the guests stories. Julie Walter's putting her hand in 50 Cents mouth to feel the bullet shrapnel is a prime example, you can't get that kind of content anywhere else.
Never seen that clip, fantastic 😂
Thanks dawg 🙏✌️
The whole appeal of the Graham Norton show is the way it gradually builds up to all the guests talking to each other. It's really well done.
love Graham Norton...... it's a bit of everything and everyone with lot's of laughs ❤
his show also lets them drink and not do one person interview while the previous guest is on the couch hiding from the camera lol. Honestly in american late night my favourite interview clips are when the previews guest gets involved
Hes an icon and does audience interactions the best
Carpool Karaoke, Crosswalk Musical, interviewing all of his guests together like Graham Norton does were the good things about Corden’s show. But every time James did the segment called “Celebrity Noses”, where everything goes wrong and James completely loses his sh!t, that’s when we got to meet the real James.

Seth Meyer’s UA-cam exclusive segment Corrections is like, by far the best thing to come out of late night in the last 2-3 years. Consistently funny and shows how talented/funny Seth is, plus you clearly see how much he loves his crew
Jackal
Corrections segments are unhinged and I love it so much. I think part of it is that I love watching funny people make other funny people laugh. Corrections jokes are like at least 40% playing to the writers and crew.
Seth is the only Late Night host I kept sticking with. His show really grew with the Corona lockdown and yeah, it's all about Seth and the writers and Wally playing off of each other, giving the whole thing such a cozy familiar atmosphere.
yup.
And Seth LOVES Mac Tonight.
Ill always remember conan going to a historical reenactment place and this one girl stayed FULLY in the character of a colonial girl whokept giving him answers he didnt see coming and she ended up delivering some of the best punch lines and the audience and clearly conan fell in love with the girl cause she ended up in the entire skit.
Was it the vintage baseball?
OMG YES. The first time I saw it was back when AIM instant messenger was the ticket (im 33) and someone posted a link to that video in their buddy profile 🤣 I DIED then, and still rewatch it every year. When he points to the sky ominously, in full 1800s attire, and shouts “what ho!? what is that demonry!?!” and the camera angle pans over to an airplane💀💀
It was one of his best!
@@christinacatalano Glad I'm not the only one to watch it every year haha...
Now he did some podcasts, the one with Kevin Nealon is pretty good

Conan’s show really comforted me in high school in an abusive household. I appreciate the laughs 🧡🧡🧡🧡
Pedro now has a pet peeve for people doing karaoke so it's safe to say he was also changed by that exact moment
Where can we see that lol
It's weird to think that Eddy dressing in a full suit to drop off "in memoriam" flowers is the least insane thing to happen at that crosswalk.
Conan seriously needs to see all the love and support for him in this comment section. I know he hates reading reviews and stuff but this is so sweet
I grew up watching Stephen Colbert with my mom and he seems like a genuinely really nice guy.
Bro literally unwatchable, Jokes are mostly politics. I think he gets paid for party promotion. Usually in Nepal we have political comedian but they make fun of all. Are you from US? Like he was also anti-space exploration, Like some technology video makes me cringe
Conan was the only one for me, no one ever got close to him, he's an outstanding compassionate human being and imo one of the top 5 comedians and entertainers that ever lived. You can throw ANY situation at him and he will make it work and make it funny.
He was a legend to his staff, and extremely compassionate.
Conan and Craig Ferguson are the GOATs for me. Both really genuine, hilarious, and intelligent people. Late night was never the same when both left.
Top 5 comedians and entertainers ever ? Really think about that for a second
My reply was prefixed with "imo" if you notice, you know, "in my opinion"? People are still allowed to have opinions and personal tastes right? I never claimed as fact. So no, I won't think about my own opinion any further than I already have regarding my top 5 comedians.Why be so sanctimonious? You don't like it? Fine, make your own list of top 5 comedians, literally no one will care but you.

Let's face it: The internet is killing network TV. Wether that's good or bad, it's happening. So it makes sense that with the approaching death of network TV, its staples, like late night shows, are also dying.
Yeah now we have early morning shows like GMM😂
Has nothing to do with late night becoming proppaganda and not entertainment smh
@@unconsciouscreator3012 Stop getting triggered all over the place.
I would say choice is killing network TV. As soon as I was given better options, like watching when and where I want, on which provider I wanted and even shows from different countries (which I have found to be infinitely better than American TV), then it was over for broadcast. I haven't watched a network TV show, on TV, in close to 15 years. That show was South Park and I don't even watch that anymore. Network TV is boring, predictable, and the writing/dialog is terrible.
video killed the radio star. you're right - abandoning the format isn't a matter of if, it's a matter of when.
Honestly, I think Conan is the only actually likeable person in the whole bunch. He's also shown he can do more than just be a late night host.
That and for some reason old people hate him. My dad absolutely dispised him and never had a good reason, then Conan made that hidden camera bit where he had old people in a focus group watching Conan and giving negative reviews and when asked by Conan himself they too had no actual reasons and they all had no clue it was Conan asking the interview questions.
Absolutely, Conan is wonderful!
@@Tyway I think it has to do with the Jay Leno issue. I read sometime ago that older people like Leno more than Conan, but I don't know why though.
Colbert was great on his report. Once he took over the late show, he stopped being funny.
Can’t stand any of the late night hosts. They’re all quite punchable. They just have a look and certain energy about them that is unpleasant.
@@enviritas9498 Seth can be the best of the current bunch at times. But the political segments get so heavy handed it feels like I'm at a rally.
Colbert when he talks loss and deep questions, almost reminds me of Terry Gross. Both of them can get people to admit to their deepest secrets.
I am part of the Craig Ferguson cult following. It was a late night show where, on one side of the host, there was the co-host - a gay robot skeleton. On the other side, there were two guys in a horse suit. The guest, a famous actor would come on, the movie they're in would be mention once and then Craig would ask them something along the lines of "So? How's it been for you? Have you been swimming a lot?" and before that his monologue would have like a minute of silence after a weird joke. True punk version of the late night formula.
I wish more ppl recognize Craig as a late night tv show host.
He was so good.
He was great
He was a genius. He was the only funny late night host in over a decade.
Craig's interview with Notch (before Notch became a crazy incel) was pure gold for these reasons. I don't think any other late night host could have interviewed a game developer and gotten something half as funny.
And no politics
I really think the fascination with late night started going down when social media started becoming more popular. Because before, it felt like talk shows were rare times when you could watch a celebrity being themselves, and hear about their stories. Now, everybody knows everything that is happening in that second through social media, and the "magic" that was there decades ago just isn't there anymore.
Doesn't help late night talk shows are so woefully out of touch with the common man and problems or what's going on that they desperately try to cater by saying things that only their friends would like instead of what the audience wants.
Sooooo, you mean...precisely what was just said in the video? Well I agree lol.
it gets to a point that we want to see LESS of our celebrity.
Esp the likes of Ye
@@Frzned9x that’s funny as hell. We spent decades idolizing the rich, the famous, the proper, and now we want a lot of them to go away 😂😂😂
it definitely didn't feel like that, celebrities come on to do shitty promos not be themselves.
generally the worst part of every light night show is when they have the random celeb of the week come out to promote something.
Love that you highlighted the writer's strike at the end. Nice work on this one!
May it last a thousand years.
I think it's really put the death knell in late night TV - I've gotten used to not watching colbert / daily show / seth (at least the opening parts I used to watch - I never watched the guests with very few exceptions, and the views on youtube of the various segments of their shows show that no one cares about the guests now) and I'm kindof glad to not hear the same take on the news every day from 3 different sets of writers, usually 2 of which make the exact same joke. Bring back the late night of old - conan or craig ferguson - shows that were legitimately funny, and not just the news re-hashed in a snarky way.

I also started watching Colbert’s Late Show during quarantine and really enjoyed it. He got back into the studio and I don’t think I lasted more than a week.
Colbert’s greatest strength and draw is himself. His current show completely strips him of that. Replace him on any ordinary episode of the late show with somebody else and nothing changes. The show feels so alienating for some reason. That’s why the quarantine episodes resonated with so many people: with everything else stripped down, he’s allowed to shine.
His contract ends at the end of 2026. I kind of hope he doesn’t renew it and does something else.
Criag Ferguson was an incredible host who was dang hilarious and had real integrity.
Don’t forget Geoff! The world needs more sarcastic skeletons on TV.
I miss that show everyday. 😢
By far the best ever. Mostly because he didn't give a shit and didn't
Follow the usual formula.
YESSS that's the only one I religiously watched
Conan and Craig Ferguson were the last hold outs from the golden era.
Long live Craig Ferguson, he is extremely underrated and had the best late show there ever was.
I love that there is a ton of Ferg here on youtube, categorized by guest even.
We need an AI Craig Ferguson
Not me for years thinking it was Craig Robinson who had a late night show. I was like, damn how come I never see his stuff come up

Idk if you’ll ever seen this man, but this is quality content, hooked me in and the video was way better than I expected from the thumbnail and title. Good job man keep it up I’ll be watching you thruther
Craig Ferguson was my personal favorite, his run as the host of the late late show was hilarious and when he introduced Geoff Peterson it took the show to the next level.
It’s amazing to see how few people actually remember him. Thank God there are still some UA-cam Channels uploading his masterclass.
He's literally the only one I ever gave more than 5 minutes. He's a good soul
He's the only one I ever wanted to watch live, because it always seemed like his goal was to bend and twist the entire format to its breaking point. To this day I'll still put on old episodes while I'm pottering around the house.
"You got a place there Geoff?" Man I miss Ferguson so much.
This clip of him and Corden is hilarious cause he’s literally doing circles around him
As a guy in his 30s, I haven't watched live TV in at least a decade and tbh I'm shocked to learn that people younger than me were doing so as recently as 2020.
Same tho
Omg ikr
As a guy in his 50s, I haven't watched live TV in at least a decade, except when visiting my parents' place.
Also in my 30s but 2004 for me. The moment we got broadband I switched to torrenting everything and never looked back.
I’m 56 and same… around a decade now for me too. I don’t think it’s about age, more about your knowledge of what is available. I still meet people who have no notion of how big & how varied in content You Tube is. My TV in the living room can’t even receive any old school TV… it is only connected to the net.
I appreciate the segment on the WGA strike a lot, it’s especially important to bring up with the topic of late night shows so I’m really glad it was covered
Stephen Colbert quitting the Colbert Report for late night tv was one of the things that made me truly have to embrace the feeling of letting go, and enjoying things while they last.
I remember the last time there was a writers strike Conan put on some of the most insane episodes of television in talk show history. It was brilliant and it showed just how amazing he is.
Conan is a legend! My fav late night host. I miss when he did the late night show on NBC!
I do feel like Colbert's ability to have earnest conversations with celebrities is his biggest strength outside of his career in satire. I think he would be far better suited to following Conan and just doing a podcast with guests so he can highlight those strengths as an interviewer. Few hosts I've seen on TV have been capable of getting me to tear up like him.
shocked to not see eddy touch on the state of seth meyers’ corrections segment. it’s only gotten better since its inception and seth’s rapport with his fans and crew is phenomenal every time. it’s a hard buy in for new viewers, requiring you to watch EVERY prior episode to understand a new one (no joke), but i think that’s kind of a great sign. seth clearly cares more about having fun and making something entertaining than making it wildly successful. the energy in the room is palpable every time, and i’m so charmed by the decision to keep filming corrections without an audience in the room, even once the audience came back to the rest of the show. seth is easily the best late night host still sticking around and i hope that he continues onto something just as great whenever he steps down. proud to be a jackal
He's an insufferable unoriginal fake comedian
Completely agree! I’ve been watching correction since episode 2 or 3 and it’s consistently been one of the highlights if my week since.
yessss i know plenty of people who genuinely just watch corrections and no other content from the show. i honestly can see it becoming a sort of cult series in the future
came here to say this! jackals forever
Corrections is great, would really love to hear Eddy's thoughts on it. I think Seth is doing such a great job of trying to grow the late night talk show format, I still find the guest segments to be a bore but A Closer Look and Corrections are really solid and I enjoy watching them on a regular basis.
Conan had always been my favorite for all that eddy said, he’s a frequent at my restaurant and he’s always so nice and genuine. Even to people who come up and recognize him he’s never been rude but again they are still people who need privacy regardless he handles it very well.
Having the Roots as your house band is one of the most chad TV production moves you could ever make.
Truly!
I've seen this term used on reddit, but as non native speaker and living in a different culture I don't know chad means. Could you, please, explain? I am not satisfied with explanations I found on Urban dictionary
What's even more "Chad" is that Fallon was able to put on blackface in front of the
Roots and it didn't end his career. So either the Root's are pussies for not cancelling
him for being racist, or Fallon is a true mob b0$$ for coming out of it unscathed.
@@ivanbitunjac3303 usually means something smart or advantageous.
@Ivan Bitunjac what the person above me said, but it is very slang, a "Chad" is the ideal definition of a man, because people named Chad are known to be very cool.

Probably the most funniest Late Night Host dude who can actually adjust when it comes to different decades
Agreed. I’ve been a fan since I was a little kid. There’s pictures and videos of me as a 3-4 year old in the early 90s laughing at him. Watched him all my life and still watch him now.
Conan, David Letterman, Johnny Carson, Craig Ferguson. That’s my late night Mount Rushmore for sure.
I've always been more inclined towards Ferguson than Conan, but they're both up there together
ALWAYS
Trevor seemed to adapt the fastest in my opinion. Really took a hard left into the UA-cam style and I think he nailed it.
hes a much better stand up than host though, he felt a bit too sanitized on the daily show.
graham norton show is nice because he brings out guests together, bringing you interactions between celebrities you cannot get anywhere else.
Honestly I’m really impressed by how much eddy’s videos have evolved and improved, it feels like he’s gone from just another commentary channel ( not that they were bad, just less unique and creative) to a real juggernaut in quality UA-cam content, both here and on Burback. The videos he (and tony) are making and superb and I always look forward to an upload and frequently rewatch my favourites. Keep it up. Also he has the strongest moustache on UA-cam.
idk 80 percent of the video was just him talking over clips of late night hosts talking. It sorta relates to what he’s saying but usually it’s only when he’s finishing a point that the clip on screen will be relevant.
Evolved and improved is a stretch, consistent with his past videos? Definitely. I feel like this is a step into what felt safe and easy to deliver and didn’t require any filming, just mostly reading his script and editing. Which is pretty basic on both ends.
I did not expect that weed gummies joke from Seth to get me as hard as it did. The faces, the intonation, the editing, chefs kiss
It got you WHAT
same, it actually made me laugh out loud
Thank you for bringing up the strike. Both of my parents are WGA so we're at a total loss of income. But, their spirits are high and it really helps when people speak out and humanize writers. There is so much misinformation, but the fact is that writers are integral to all of the TV and movies we see in one way or another. It's the kind and right thing to stand alongside them.

Seth Myers corrections and closer look is the only one I consistently watch. I like his humor and how he interacts with staff and writers plus his format is a lot less formal and comes off as more genuine. Also everything about corrections is amazing and seems to be a great way to keep up with the more online audience as actual television watchers is falling
Corrections is the only late night I watch but I watch it every week
I love the seth goes day drinking parts
I love that Wally the q-card guy is a active member of the cast. It's wonderful
Corrections for the win!!! Honestly, everything else is trash. Most of the monologues involve stories of Trump or other people I’d rather not have living rent free in my brain. Having the late night guys on strike has helped me detox from the monologues on UA-cam.
I like Jokes Seth Can't Tell and Amber Says What and any other segment where he lets Jenny talk about an LGBTQ topic or Amber talk about race topics.
I hope there was someone there to see Eddy walking back and forth across the crosswalk and thinking “wtf is this guy doing?”
The podcast boom of the past few years has been great when it comes to celebrity interviews. There's no overblown sketches, no getting dolled up to talk to someone for 15 minutes, no having to wait until the audience stops unrealistically laughing. These interview podcasts are more casual, personal and feel like real conversations. Those that film their podcasts show that the guests usually just wear their comfort clothes for when they're not working. The conversations are more focused on the guest as a person than as a celebrity. They just seem to be far more charming to me than all these late night shows.
There are a lot of good interview podcasts, but my go to is Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum which I feel perfectly captures the overall vibe of these podcasts.
Enjoyed every second with him and Tom together on Smallville, and it was definitely a delightful surprise to stumble across his YT channel. His interview with Morena Bacarin was golden - was she always hiding that potty mouth, or was she infected by Ryan ? 😂
Thank you for covering the strike! My dad is a labor foreman on movie sets and is being affected too. We’re hoping that positive change will come from this.
As a writer of romantic comedy features, I'm in the WGA's corner, but also hope for positive change. I've got scripts to sell!
I remember during the height of BLM protests instead of discussing black struggles himself, Seth Meyers let Amber Ruffin talk about her experiences with racism. I really respect him for that.
You respect people that make racism worse? I wonder if you care about the fact that blacks kill far more of their own than whitey ever will.
You mean the BLM riots that costs billions of dollars of damage, largely in poor black neighborhoods, and resulted in the deaths of dozens of people?
Aah, the summer of love
Seth just seems like a really great guy.
Personally this is why late night has failed in recent years. When they decided to do social justice and become highly opinionated with their political beliefs is when most people tuned out. It’s a comedy variety show not “The View”. I’m not trying to debate politics here I’m just telling the truth. Jimmy Kimmel recently admitted on a podcast that he knew when he took a stand against Trump and talk more politics he’d most likely lose half his audience. He was right.
Late night is analogous to say a former boomtown, drilling for oil, mining, everyone came, what have you. And when the profits dried up and it becomes less appealing, it just turns into a quiet pass through town only few love to visit.
in my view podcasts have become the spiritual successor to late-night as a genre
YES
Not at all. Late-night shows were spiritual pillars of TV monoculture. There were 3 of them and everyone knew what they were and who hosted them. There are thousands of popular podcasts and if you asked a random person on the street who Marc Maron is, they'd probably have no idea.
That’s literally radio? Not at all a spiritual successor lol Like the exact same just one is broadcasting the other is recording? Lol?
TV such a different medium man
@@doupard Podcasts and radio are not the same either. Radio has a fundamental urgency that podcasts do not have. The approach is completely different. Radio was largely local as well. Stations were designed to be embedded in the communities in which they operated. Podcasts lack place for the most part. They're disconnected from the world the listener lives in.
Conan is truly in a league of his own. He’s just so funny, I’m glad he keeps going with his podcast
Conan's Late Nite on NBC late 90s through late 2000s to me was the most hilarious, self-deprecating, down to earth late show. They made the most WTF characters and skits under the excuse that no one was watching that late. You could tell they did whatever they wanted and laughed at themselves if the props looked cheap and hilariously underfunded. They constantly made a mockery of late night comedy standards and I loved it.
You and me both on every part of that!!
Omg the mastirbating bear and Preperation H Raymond lmao.
Triumph the insult Comic Dog
So much nostalgia for this show
In the yeaarrrrrr two thouuuuuusand
20:40 late night is like Saturday morning cartoons. Its not a special time anymore
18:41 This is something I've noticed about Seth Meyers as well, the way he integrates the crew and writers is great, it doesn't feel forced at all, they're just a bunch of friends and it really shows.
Theres so many segments thats basically just shining a spotlight on the writers and rest of the crew. It's something that nobody else has replicated as well and I really enjoy it.
one interesting bit that seth has been doing is corrections. it’s seems like they are almost the opposite of designed to go viral, they are filled with inside jokes and plot lines that carry throughout weeks on end, and aren’t titled in a way that would really draw in viewers. and yet, they are incredibly popular. he is just funny, intelligent, understands the relationship he has built with his audience, has very good chemistry with his crew, and genuinely looks like he is having a blast.
Got to love a fellow Jackal... want to join me on Cicada, Cicada's opening night?

Seth Meyers and John Oliver are the only ones i consistently watch, and I only watch it in youtube the next day! John Oliver in particular I really enjoy bc it feels like more a podcast or an essay video. My law professor is the one who introduced him to me by showing his Police Interrogations video in class
Shows like Last Week Tonight or the Daily Show I guess fit into the broader late night talk show genre. But they really deserve their own category.
But I do agree with you, Meyers and Oliver are really the only ones I ever click on if they come across my YT feed. But I've always enjoyed Seth Meyers and John Oliver is a Liverpool fan. So maybe I'm just biased.
All absolutely awful
@@krotchlickmeugh627 dont care + didnt ask + L
I never thought of it before but this is true, I really do only watch Meyers and Oliver. I used to watch a lot of Daily Show on UA-cam but a Closer Look felt like a better version of that and Seth's show in general feels a lot less scripted so I kind of just stopped with most of the others.
Same story for me except it was the episode on civil forfeiture.
I'm 38 and since 21 when I started living on my own, I disconnected any TV cable that was on the house.
Conan will always stand as one of the best comedians and show hosts in my book. To this day I actively search for his old and new content because it really is timeless. And like Eddy, I too love Conans travel series and the way he always tried to be emersed in the different cultures as well as make it soo freaking funny
As someone with severe misophonia, corden bringing out the balloons when the guest said he hated the sound makes my blood boil
Yes, I have sensory issues and certain sounds make me feel ill. That was terrible.
That and not even knowing the names of the employees responsible for getting him on screen in the first place.
his face alone gives me the thirst for blood
i had to lower my phone's volume when that scene came up. it may have been a few seconds long but christ it was painful
As a car lover and someone who tries to take exquisite care of his older car, the noises when his lardy butt stood on then jumped off the hood of that poor random person's then brand new Corolla drove me just as insane. How egotistical.
It’s impressive how much Seth Meyers has grown just in the past four years. He’s without a doubt the best host out now.
I feel like John Oliver gets left out of these conversations, but between John and Seth that style is on lock and I'm all here for it, although I'm more partial to John just personally.
Thank you, I see everyone washing their hands of the late night shows when I GENUINELY so enjoy Seth and his styles. His dry wit is incredible and his writers are peerless.
Seth was good all along though...
Seth’s segment on unused monologue jokes is an amazing segment for comedy nerds
@@burgermind802 Seth definitely had his growing pains, especially during Covid, but I think he absolutely grew into his own
You can kind of see that in the way the Animaniacs lampooned him in their reboot versus how he is now.
I think it was actually the Carol Burnett Show that pioneered taking questions from the audience during breaks... but that was a kind time ago.
I’m so glad Eddy brought up Ziwe, because i truly think that Ziwe’s show was one of the BEST ‘late night’ style shows of the last 10 years. because it feels like a parody of these shows with a HUGE lean in on their genZ audience who watches all of the content online
Craig Ferguson was my personal favorite
Thumbs up
I used to watch him with my Mom every day. When they added Geoff the gay robot skeleton, that was like my golden era of late night TV.
He was the best of the best with a genuine good heart.
👍
Super ok
I love how Eddy has all of these small side-adventures in his videos where he gets caught up in the emotion of things
