Re: [TV orNotTV] late nighty-night (change of status)

I'm in (what I assume) is the middle of the monologue, and it's truly painful, especially the pauses for the (non-existent) laughs. Mark Evanier suggested last week that Colbert try doing the show from home, Skyping in guests, but if this is the level of broadcast that would result, I'd prefer

While I like a lot of what Colbert does, those segments with the mother make me want to throw things through the television screen. I'd rather be trapped in an elevator with Kristen Wiig. --Dave Sikula On Monday, March 16, 2020 at 8:58:11 PM UTC-7, David Bruggeman wrote: > > While Colbert is ad

Re: [TV orNotTV] late nighty-night (change of status)

While Colbert is advertised as a rerun tonight, it isn't really.  He does a monologue from home, with some virtual assistance from staff, since there are the same level of stills and video clips you see in a regular show. While a *much* more professional endeavor than last Thursday's taped rehe

NBC Jimmy also did a no-audience show. Sett cancelled the show but put a new A Closer Look online. ABC Jimmy already had Mayor Pete scheduled to be a guest host on Thursday. He had Patrick Stewart on to flog Picard. I now know what it would look like if Sheldon Cooper ever hosted a talk show.

IIRC, Krasinski is schedule to host the Mar 28 show; they’re dark this weekend and next. One assumes they’re taking it day by day. Chris On Fri, Mar 13, 2020 at 15:00 M-D November wrote: > Interestingly, even though NBC!Jimmy and Seth have already cancelled their > tapings for the foreseeable f

Interestingly, even though NBC!Jimmy and Seth have already cancelled their tapings for the foreseeable future, there's been no news about SNL. They're dark this week, but if memory serves, they were supposed to be live next Saturday with John Krasinski as host (promoting a movie which has, in r

Re: [TV orNotTV] late nighty-night (change of status)

The thing the PAs always yell at audiences at the Ed is how much of the show the audience is, and a show like tonight's is proof of that. So much of that material just died without 400 saps cackling at it. If Colbert does tape next week, I think the show would be well-advised to move out of the

He pulls it together for the Gupta interview, thankfully. It reminds me of how difficult it is to: Do a live show four-five times a week, andMake it seem like it's unplanned/unpredictable and still be funny/entertaining. David On Friday, March 13, 2020, 12:24:12 AM EDT, Jon Delfin wrote:

Incredibly, the most obviously spliced episode ever still carried the "live on tape" announce. I'm about 15 minutes in, and I can barely watch for how much head-shaking (in disbelief) I'm doing. On Fri, Mar 13, 2020, 12:04 AM 'David Bruggeman' via TVorNotTV < tvornottv@googlegroups.com> wrote:

OK, Colbert seems to have taped rehearsal and sipped a lot of the bourbon behind the desk.  It's entertaining, but definitely still rehearsal. David On Thursday, March 12, 2020, 11:46:53 PM EDT, 'David Bruggeman' via TVorNotTV wrote: Watching the Colbert monologue now.  They went wit

Watching the Colbert monologue now.  They went without audience tonight (was originally going to be Monday), and he's doing it from behind the desk.  Dr. Sanjay Gupta is the main guest, though it's possible comedian Maria Bamford makes an appearance. David On Thursday, March 12, 2020, 11:

Unless people at the networks are starting to test positive for the virus, I can think of no other good reason for this decision. All of Broadway is going to be unemployed... there’s no shortage of talent to book. On Thu, Mar 12, 2020 at 8:30 PM Jon Delfin wrote: > The no-audience thing didn't g
