Heh. I remember when Fallon was the wrong guy for his job.
I wasn't aware that had changed

Still no rapport with Batiste and the band though. They showed a little bit of personality with Colbert's "getting paid time and a half" line, but still no jokes or witty banter between host and band.
Yup, this is definitely what annoys me most about him-- Everything he does is so fake and forced.
I thought tonight's episode was tremendous. Two old school style Colbert bits, and I thought the Bernie Sanders interview was great. I wonder though, was Colbert playing devil's advocate, falling into old habit, or does he actually hold pretty conservative political values?
Colbert is still shaky on his throws though. After the Bernie interview he repeated Bernie's name three times and didn't give the "well be right back with (musical act) after the break" line.

You're crazy, but that doesn't mean she didn't kill it (I haven't seen yet) and wouldn't be a good option.Elizabeth Warren killed it on Wednesday. I mean am I crazy, or would she pretty much run away with the Dems nominee if she ran?
Yes he did. He took non-stop shots at him. Corned him on the Reagan thing. Took shots about gay marriage.He didn't tear Cruz apart. Give me a break.
In fact I thought the way he admonished the crowd when it started groaning during the gay marriage conversation was incredibly impressive.
He used to get kind of ticked on the Report as well with audiences vocalizing on opinions during interviews, and he would always attempt to settle them down. I can't stand that Oprah/Ricki Lake daytime TV crap either, and don't know why audiences feel the need to do that.He didn't tear Cruz apart. Give me a break.

Fallon is god-awful at interviews, which IMO is the most key aspect of being a late-night host. I have never seen a host come across as so fake and stumble with his words so much. Truly awful. He should get credit for some of the skits/bits he does (certainly has mass appeal going for him in that regard), but his interviewing ability makes him more or less unwatchable to me.

You think Cruz came out of that interview feeling like he accomplished what he went there to do?
Absolutely false.I can't imagine there's much to accomplish on the late night talk show circuit other than exposure and feigning a relatable sense of humor.

I actually think the political interviews he's doing right now are great television. He's unable to be as direct and blunt about his ridicule, but he's perfectly walking that line and take exactly the right jabs to let the interviewees expose themselves. I'm impressed.
It's an interesting approach-- I wonder how long this can last, and how comfortable the audiences/NBC's going to be with it being a trend.
