Fallon seems to be sticking with 4 days a week into the fall season
Basically what it says. He usually shift to 4 days a week during the summer and returns to 5 after Labor Day, but he seems to be staying at 4 with Friday being a repeat.
He was the last holdout for years

What do you think are the differences between Bill Maher and Jon Stewart in comedy style?

Hey guys I created a subreddit dedicated to vintage talk show interviews from the 60s all the way to 1999
It's called r/vintalkshowinterviews where you can post content from Carson, Letterman, early days of Leno, and much more talk show interviews from the 60s to 1999

You could go from this.....to this......
Not sure if it's David Letterman or Conan, but I remember a skit where they said, "You could go from this" (Show old lady sad) "To This" (Show old lady happy). Anyone else remember this, because I can't find any references on the internet.

Letterman - who was the guest that always brought a prank clip regardless of the movie he was promoting?
Subject: for the life of me I can't remember, but there was a guest who always brought the same clip when he was on the show, which of course was not the movie he was promoting. Who was that? Thanks!

Looking for the show/host of a late-night talk show during the 80s/90s (obscure)
Does anyone recall this older gentleman late at night they'd call Doc? He'd sit around smoking cigarettes, discussing various new-age topics (probably Morton Downey Jr. era).
My mom used to watch him and I'm wracking my brain trying to remember...

Jimmy Kimmel is obsessed with Trump
Is it me or is Jimmy Kimmel really pressed to force Trump content on every show? Every other late night show has moved on from the Trump shit yet Kimmel still has a boner for it. I honestly think this is what made him popular enough to be a household name. The jokes are not even funny anymore
