Well, not hates exactly... he does call it “a fairly engaging book that might set some industry tongues wagging. But it's no The Late Shift. The reviewer is Ed Bark, former TV critic for the Dallas Morning News.

Just watched it and loved it all. It really reminds me of the old Late Night opens. And I like the new introduction as well by Kalter. Total sidebar: when I walk from my office to the bar for One Drink Wednesday, I play the old LN theme on repeat. It works very nicely. On Mon, Apr 22, 2013 at

All I could think of as I watched the new opening was a memo some CBS exec undoubtedly sent to Dave, asking him to run through the crowd shaking and high fiving the hands of audience members. On Tue, Apr 23, 2013 at 8:49 AM, Joe Hass hassgoc...@gmail.com wrote: Just watched it and loved it all.

Yes, the dash to stage left happens every night. I think it's been touched on here before - IIRC, it has something to do with the fact that the dressing rooms at the Ed Sullivan are off Stage Right, but Dave is most comfortable entering from upstage left (dating back to the NBC show). On

The interesting thing is, Dave himself didn't do anything different. The dash to up-left, the entrance, hitting his mark were exactly as he's done for god-knows-how-long. But it's pretty amazing how a little thing like changing up the camera angles can make a difference. (Also, since Dave

Watching this, I was reminded of the old rumors (circa Late Night) that Dave supposedly demanded that the camera cut away from him to Paul when he walked from down center to the desk because he thought his ass was photographed too big. --Dave Sikula On Monday, April 22, 2013 8:44:57 PM
