Based on the first episode, it certainly doesn't need to be an hour. I'm guessing CBS has to fill the hour or give back the other 30 minutes to the affiliates....

The show is just not geared to me. If you watch any British panel TV show, or listen to any British panel radio show, it’s agonizing to endure the American equivalent. In the UK the panelists are just there amusing themselves, and if the audience happens to laugh, fine. In the US, panelists just so desperately want to be loved, like every answer to a question should be followed up with a wink to the audience and the words “am I right?!” screamed at full volume.

I think that it’ll come down to how good the writers are and how much the studio/producers/directors try to make her bland to try to attract the widest audience vs letting her be herself to attract a good core audience. -- David On Jan 13, 2024, at 6:52 PM, Dave Sikula <davesik...@gmail.com> wrote: If the sample game Colbert played is any indication, there will be no jokes, so the work will be that much harder. --Dave Sikula On Saturday, January 13, 2024 at 05:36:33 PM PST, 'David Bruggeman' via TVorNotTV <tvornottv@googlegroups.com> wrote: They don't even have a clip of the show on its Paramount + or Facebook pages. I have my expectations set about as low as they were for the Hardwick edition, so I'll probably like it. My only concern is whether it can really fill an hour. The show seemed to work best with a high joke volume, and that takes a lot of work.

I know they probably won't film the premiere until the day of or the day before, but surely they must have made some test shows? Anyway, I also set a Season Pass. I wonder what percentage of current TiVo owners are in this thread? On Friday, January 12, 2024 at 7:38:38 PM UTC-5 Doug Eastick wrote: I just watched her interview too.

I had expected gameplay similar to the original version ("Points!"), but the examples she provided Colbert indicate that Tuesday will be a one-off for me. The bar for success is low here, but it looked like it'll be awful (though still better than Byron Allen). --Dave Sikula On Thursday, January 4, 2024 at 2:13:10 PM UTC-8 Mark Jeffries wrote: The CBS reboot of "@midnight" hosted by Taylor Tomlinson finally debuts on Jan. 16 (or technically Jan. 17) after Colbert at 12:37 a.m. ET--We assume either the affiliates will take over at 1:07 a.m. or the Eye will keep repeating "Comics Unleashed" at that time: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/after-midnight-premiere-date-cbs-1235779286/#recipient_hashed=04cc8432e89af1614e2b95d666f830a827568c45d7e9abbbd46ed84bf99ddfc7&recipient_salt=f8f1afe78c2d990c75c3121d1fa116315cbb1eda09b65c89df333468970da653 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
