Doubling down on the Key and Peele stuff last night struck me as completely
wrongheaded, especially when the first part of Monday night's piece appeared to
be the same as the first part of Sunday's piece but from a different angle.
There was a musical guest Sunday night?
While I don't know if it would have helped, I don't think the show had enough
time to give the SB show extra attention. They ran a repeat on January 29, and
taped at least the February 5 show early but were otherwise doing a regular
schedule. Using more repeats to focus on the SB show seems reasonable, and
(I'm guessing) has been done before, at least for when Ferguson did The Late
Late Show from New Orleans (2013) and Miami (2007).

Personally, I thought it was something of a train wreck, from Colbert's
confusion at the beginning over whether they should continue with the show or
go to break, the unnecessary segmentation of the Fey/Robbie panel, and the
hideously unfunny Ferrell panel (I realize that's redundant) that was saved
from being the worst thing on the show only by the endless Key and Peele bit
and the lousy musical guest (a tradition that Cobert's continued from Dave). I
think Colbert's doing a good job of finding his show, but this didn't help.

Mixed feelings about the show.
Overall, I liked the comedy. Even the taped bits on a live show. Tina Fey was
a solid A list talk show guest and seemed more comfortable with Colbert than
Letterman and even Fallon and Meyers. Margot Robbie is dense but solid eye
candy.
That satellite interview with the MVP was the biggest stumble of the show. I
imagine some exec thinking that up and using synergy a lot.
Will Ferrell was great. That may have been my favorite Ferrell appearance on a
talk show.
Key and Peele was also a winner for me.
Megyn Kelly was a disappointment. Maybe she's tired of talking about
Trump.Sent from TypeApp
