Why is late night programming filled with light-hearted humour with hosts like…?
You’re comparing two completely different things. Late night, people don’t want to have to concentrate on serious things, or listen to prolonged discussion (many of those day shoes focus on one thing for the whole show). People who are intelligent enough to work their TVs don’t watch shows THEY find boring. BTW, you email me some time ago, but you don’t allow emailing you through this site. You said you’ve never insulted me, which I found utterly ridiculous. You constantly post that all women are morons, no women have every done anything but give birth, and that no women should ever have any rights. And you asked what I have against YOU? I ask you: Why do you hate all women?
They follow the format of previous successes ie the Tonight Show w/Johnny Carson and try to emulate it If it ain’t broke they don’t fix it. Personally I think that most of the late night hosts are smart@sses. Conan O’Brien was the best because he was quirky and off the wall and original – prolly because he wasn’t American and had a sophisticated sense of humor.
