WHO KNOWS!SPECIFILLY, LATE-NIGHT TALK AND VARIETY SHOWS (WH THE EXCEPTN OF BRAVO’S WATCH WHAT HAPPENS LIVE) HAVE TAKEN THE BIGGT H. NETWORK STAPL LIKE SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, THE TONIGHT SHOW STARRG JIMMY FALLON, AND THE LATE SHOW WH STEPHEN COLBERT CEASED PRODUCTN IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE WRERS GUILD OF AMERI ANNOUNCED THEIR WALKOUT MAY. AND PRR TO THE SAG STRIKE, FILM CRIC BILGE OLBIRI POTED OUT ON TWTER THAT THE LACK OF LATE-NIGHT TELEVISN WAS IMPEDG MOVIE STARS’ ABILY TO PROMOTE THEIR SUMMER FILMS, LEAVG A GAPG HOLE THE LANDSPE.ADMTEDLY, I HAVEN’T KEPT UP WH LATE-NIGHT TV SCE I WAS HIGH SCHOOL, WHEN FALLON’S STAR-STUDD GAM OF BEER PONG SEEMED NOVEL AND AMG. HOWEVER, OVER THE PAST MONTH, I’VE FOUND MYSELF RPORATG LATE-NIGHT SHOWS OF THE BRISH VARIETY TO MY NIGHTLY ROUTE, PARTICULARLY THE GRAHAM NORTON SHOW. BEFORE I GO TO BED, I’LL CUE UP AN EPISO OR A CLIP ON YOUTUBE AND WATCH A CLTER OF A-LIST ACTORS, MICIANS, AND UALLY SOME BRISH EDIANS I’M UNFAIAR WH SQUEEZE ONTO A RED SUE UCH AND TRY TO ONE-UP EACH OTHER WH FUNNY STORI. I’LL LGH UNTIL MY EY EVENTUALLY SHUT AND WAKE UP THE NEXT MORNG FEELG GREAT.IN LIGHT OF THE CURRENT TELEVISN DILEMMA, I URGE ALL AMERINS TO MAKE THIS PIVOT. I WOULD ARGUE THAT MOST CHAT SHOWS THE U.K., CLUDG THE JONATHAN ROSS SHOW, THE LATE LATE SHOW (THE IRISH VERSN), AND THE NOW-NCELED ALAN CARR: CHATTY MAN, ARE MORE ENTERTAG THAN ANYTHG PLAYG ON NBC PAST 11:30 P.M. BUT NORTON’S BBC ONE SHOW, PARTICULAR, REPRENTS LIGHT-HEARTED TALK PROGRAMS AT THEIR PEAK, AND SHOWS THE KD OF LATE-NIGHT LGHS WE ULD BE HAVG IF WE WOULD JT LOOSEN UP THE FORMAT A B (AND PROBABLY EMPLOY MORE GAY MEN). AND WHILE HOLLYWOOD STARS WON’T BE MAKG APPEARANC ON TALK SHOWS THE STAT OR ACROSS THE POND ANYTIME SOON, THANKFULLY, YOUTUBE HAS AN EXTENSIVE ARCHIVE OF GRAHAM NORTON VIOS TO STA LATE-NIGHT APPET FOR HOWEVER LONG THE STRIK GO ON.SCE FIRST AIRED 2007, THE SHOW HAS MATAED GENUE CHILDLIKE SENSIBILY, OM THE NGHTY HUMOR TO THE ORANGE, RED, AND PURPLE SET THAT LOOKS LIKE PEE-WEE’S PLAYHOE, TO A SEGMENT LLED “THE BIG RED CHAIR” WHERE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC HAVE TO APPEASE THE NIGHT’S GUTS WH A FUNNY STORY OR ELSE BE SENT FLYG BACKWARDS BY A GIANT LEVER. MOST NOTABLY, VIEWERS ARE SPARED OM LONG-WD OPENG MONOLOGU THAT TEPIDLY REP THE WEEK’S POP CULTURE AND POLICS HEADL. THE VIBE OF THE GRAHAM NORTON SHOW IS PURE, UNAPOLOGETIC FUN. AND EVERYONE WHO STEPS ONTO NORTON’S TURF, OM BARACK OBAMA TO OPRAH WEY TO TOM CISE, HAS TO FALL LE WH THE HOST’S EXUBERANCE AND CHEEKS. WHATEVER EMBARRASSG PHOTO HE DISPLAYS ON THE MONOR OR CRGY ANECDOTE HE FORC A CELEBRY TO SHARE, THEY SIMPLY HAVE TO GO WH OR ELSE APPEAR LIKE A WET BLANKET. NORTON EVEN POTED OUT ON LATE NIGHT WH SETH MEYERS BACK APRIL THAT HIS SHOW’S GROUP-TERVIEW FORMAT CENTIVIZ CELEBRI TO BE THEIR MOST CHARISMATIC AND AMG SELV.INED, ADDN TO NORTON’S OWN CHARISMA AS A HOST, I NSIR THE SHOW’S WEEKLY FORMAT TO BE S MAGIC SCE, SCE ALLOWS VIEWERS TO SEE ALL THE GUTS YOU WOULD TYPILLY WATCH THROUGHOUT THE WEEK ON AN AMERIN SHOW TERACT WH ONE ANOTHER. THE GUT LPS ARE TH ALWAYS LIGHTFULLY RANDOM, RULTG SOME OF THE FUNNIT, UNEXPECTED NVERSATNS. TAKE THIS 2012 EPISO WHERE NICKI MAJ EXPLAS HOW THE BALLOON BOY HOAX IS A SIGNIFINT PART OF BARB MYTHOLOGY, WHILE MARK RUFFALO STAR AT HER LIGHT. OR THIS CLIP OF OLIVIA COLMAN CRACKG UP ICE CUBE AND KEV HART WHILE EXPLAG HER AWKWARD STANCE THE POSTER FOR HBO’S THE NIGHT MANAGER. MY FAVORE CELEB TERACTN I DIDN’T KNOW I NEED IS MAYBE JOHN CLEE TELLG TAYLOR SWIFT THAT HER T IS WEIRD-LOOKG. THIS ISN’T TO SULT ANY OF THE STRIKG WRERS WHO WORK TIRELSLY ON AMERIN LATE-NIGHT SHOWS FOR POOR PAY. (I FOLLOW MANY OF THEM ON TWTER, WHERE THEY REMA EXTREMELY FUNNY AND WTY.) HOWEVER, ’S NOT EXACTLY A UNIQUE OPN THAT OUR CURRENT LP OF SHOWS ULD BE BETTER, PARTICULARLY IF THEY ALL DIDN’T FEEL LIKE SLIGHT VARIATNS OF EACH OTHER FERRG TO THE SAME TIRED MOLD.MOST OF THE TER SEEMS TO AGREE. WOMEN DAYTIME HOSTS, LIKE DREW BARRYMORE AND KELLY CLARKSON (AND BEFORE THEM, WENDY WILLIAMS) ARE ENJOYG MORE VIRALY ON SOCIAL MEDIA THE DAYS THAN THEIR PRIMETIME MALE UNTERPARTS. ADDNALLY, TER SHOWS LIKE HOT ON AND VIOS OF CELEBRI TELLG WHAT THEY EAT FOR BREAKFAST HAVE BEE SUCCSFUL PROMOTNAL AVENU.ALL ALL, I’M NOT SURE IF OUR CURRENT LATE-NIGHT HOSTS—EVEN THE MORE LIKABLE ON LIKE MEYERS AND COLBERT—WILL EVER BE ABLE TO MATCH NORTON’S BUOYANCY OR CREATE THE SORT OF LIGHTFUL CHAOS HE DO ON HIS SHOW. BUT THEY WOULD DO WELL TO TRY. KYNDALL CUNNGHAM

AND WHILE HOLLYWOOD STARS WON’T BE MAKG APPEARANC ON TALK SHOWS THE STAT OR ACROSS THE POND ANYTIME SOON, THANKFULLY, YOUTUBE HAS AN EXTENSIVE ARCHIVE OF GRAHAM NORTON VIOS TO STA LATE-NIGHT APPET FOR HOWEVER LONG THE STRIK GO ON.SCE FIRST AIRED 2007, THE SHOW HAS MATAED GENUE CHILDLIKE SENSIBILY, OM THE NGHTY HUMOR TO THE ORANGE, RED, AND PURPLE SET THAT LOOKS LIKE PEE-WEE’S PLAYHOE, TO A SEGMENT LLED “THE BIG RED CHAIR” WHERE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC HAVE TO APPEASE THE NIGHT’S GUTS WH A FUNNY STORY OR ELSE BE SENT FLYG BACKWARDS BY A GIANT LEVER. MOST NOTABLY, VIEWERS ARE SPARED OM LONG-WD OPENG MONOLOGU THAT TEPIDLY REP THE WEEK’S POP CULTURE AND POLICS HEADL. THE VIBE OF THE GRAHAM NORTON SHOW IS PURE, UNAPOLOGETIC FUN. AND EVERYONE WHO STEPS ONTO NORTON’S TURF, OM BARACK OBAMA TO OPRAH WEY TO TOM CISE, HAS TO FALL LE WH THE HOST’S EXUBERANCE AND CHEEKS. WHATEVER EMBARRASSG PHOTO HE DISPLAYS ON THE MONOR OR CRGY ANECDOTE HE FORC A CELEBRY TO SHARE, THEY SIMPLY HAVE TO GO WH OR ELSE APPEAR LIKE A WET BLANKET.

HOWEVER, ’S NOT EXACTLY A UNIQUE OPN THAT OUR CURRENT LP OF SHOWS ULD BE BETTER, PARTICULARLY IF THEY ALL DIDN’T FEEL LIKE SLIGHT VARIATNS OF EACH OTHER FERRG TO THE SAME TIRED MOLD.MOST OF THE TER SEEMS TO AGREE.
