According to this article, Carson had 6 million viewers. Pat Sajak was a miserable failure with 3 million. (Interesting clips of Sajak, including Keith Olbermann's first national appearance.). http://splitsider.com/2015/10/the-forgotten-history-of-the-pat-sajak-show/ They seem to be addressing the band issue. Recently they changed the arrangement of the show's song so Jon can be heard playing his melodica, or whatever it is call. Originally he would jujmp into it with all his might but the rest of the band would drown him out.k It looked like he was playing a toy because you couldn't hear it. A continuing problem is that he has zero rapport on camera with Colbert. I'm sure they got along fine in person. Colbert persists in asking him a question during the show and all he has is a one-word response. The standing ovation, the chant and the high-leg kicking have grown weary. Colbert got his start in live performances and that can be a great way to get the energy for a stage show. It's dull and repetitive for the audience that tunes in every night from home. I look forward to the opening sequence. That's a plus for me. I like that Colbert does a few monologue jokes from the stage and then jumps into the jokes from the desk, which are clearly his strength. Colbert seems to be trying to win viewers with some of the best interviews. That doesn't seem to be working. -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
