A partially buried lead in this thread about Late Show this week is his Stooge of the Night segment (I have seen two shows this week, and am assuming he has been doing it all week). I assume he is being criticized for this, both by gun control opponents and those who think that network talk shows

I caught the new open last night. Dumping the CG skyline is a definite improvement, but I wish they hadn't replaced one piece of cheap-looking CG with the cheap-looking CG version of the Ed Sullivan Theater marquee. Also, there's something about the cityscape shots that felt very derivative of the

I thought the new open calls back to the opening and commercial intro/outro shots from the old "Late Night" days.And that's a good thing...I like it.Doug FieldsTampa, FL Original Message Subject: Re: [TV orNotTV] New open for "Late Show" From: David Lynch dj

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.

Kalter's been doing the modified introduction (From the heart of Broadway, broadcasting across the nation and around the world...) for a few weeks now, albeit over the old opening titles. I'm glad they rewrote it - I always thought the old intro (From New York - the greatest city in the

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

Not sure if this was brand new tonight or if was in use before Dave's recent vacation, but Late Show has finally ditched the crappy CGI open for actual footage of New York City and (what I thought was) a classy graphics package. They also seem to have changed the shot list following the VTR:
