The definition of the term "Late Night Talk Show" is somewhat elastic, and depending on the definition used TDS and TCR may or may not be included. But it is demonstrably not true that "nobody calls TDS or TCR a talk show". Enter "late night talk show" into google and you will get a number of hits that include both of them. This is relevant to the discussion though. Fallon's success and format may not signal the death of late night talk shows as we have known them, but it might signal that a traditional talk show is no longer required to draw a strong audience in that time slot. I expect we will be seeing traditional talk shows in the late night time slot for many years to come, but we also may be seeing other kinds of late night entertainment shows too. -- -- TV or Not TV ....
