[TV orNotTV] Colbert crushes monolog, almost ties Fallon in ratings

I think that NBC is probably OK with the way things are going now as they hold the middle ground with someone who is out of the Leno tradition and who has the best shot at 'staying power' regardless of what happens politically (young host, from the SNL stable, and good overall writing staff).

Paul was there to push his tour (especially his Beverly Hills show), but for Late Night the most important part was burnishing Jon Batiste, and the uniting with The World's Most Dangerous Band gave Stay Human some needed bite. Stephen was gracious. Very nice to see Paul.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Paul Shaffer Back on Late Night

I cringed at that, but wrote it off to Paul trying to be gracious. And what he really was doing was giving a musical compliment, not a comic one - and even so Batiste gave a different musical example than what Paul had singled out (specifics way over my head musically). On Tue, Jun 20, 2017 at
