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

[@mi5anthrope]

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.

[@richardu]

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.

[@drakoinx]

Never liked late night much but Conan is fantastic. I listen to every episode of his podcast.

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

[@MilesToGoGo]

Conan is truly in a league of his own. He’s just so funny, I’m glad he keeps going with his podcast

[@Drewsta]

I hope there was someone there to see Eddy walking back and forth across the crosswalk and thinking “wtf is this guy doing?”

[@henriquejambu]

Honestly the only sad new about a show ending this year was Ziwe’s. There’s no one like her, I really hope she has a new show soon somewhere else

[@cdw2468]

she has to, it’s such a unique take on the “late night” format and she’s so good at it

[@5Amigos32]

I was so sad to hear it got cancelled

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.

[@matthewbowen5841]

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.

[@jessicahearts2009]

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

[@handsoap3346]

Corrections is the only late night I watch but I watch it every week

[@mayam9575]

I love the seth goes day drinking parts

[@nexus6100]

I love that Wally the q-card guy is a active member of the cast. It's wonderful

[@jordanwoods462]

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 KZbin.

[@jspihlman]

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.

[@cindy-tron]

I'm not gonna lie, 50% of why I subscribed just now was that absolutely glorious mustache.

[@gelp6801]

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.

[@MagicCookieGaming]

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.

[@samsvensson2659]

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 was good all along though...

[@hahasimp]

Seth’s segment on unused monologue jokes is an amazing segment for comedy nerds

[@BubbyBoy]

​@@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.

[@dunyanaser5745]

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

[@redvelvetdoll]

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

[@RyanHollis]

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.

[@krotchlickmeugh627]

All absolutely awful

[@SmartSmears]

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 KZbin 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.

[@justinkluesner918]

Same story for me except it was the episode on civil forfeiture.

[@obscure_films]

The biggest problem with these shows is something you didn't mention, they became nothing but government propaganda.

[@ikuep]

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.
