I have the sense that the JLS is going out with a whimper.

I've been surprised at how pedestrian the Late Shows have been this week. Maybe they've decided that they're not likely to improve the ratings at this point, so they're just going to keep doing what they do. -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
