I don’t stay up late to watch the late night talk shows.
Only rarely do I even tape them to watch them in the morning.
But I am here for you guys, though, the people who are even more fanatical than I am about TV.
Although in a recent blog I indicated Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon are my favorites in the late night logjam of hosts, I am not overwhelmed by any of the programs.
I have an “idear” to juice things up, though.
One of the shows, or channels should go all seven nights and rotate stars or celebrities as host.
Whoever it is, say a Jerry Seinfeld on one night, should also be able to incorporate elements of what they do into the show.
In his case, of course, stand up comedy and/or skits could be a big element of the show.
He could be really good with guests that suit him, like Larry David and Richard Lewis.
A musical or sports guest could go more in those directions for a change of pace, rather than the standard intro-skit-guest format of other shows.
What do you think, could a show like that, especially on Saturday and Sunday nights, at 9 or 10 p.m. shake TV up a bit?
Crazier things have been tried …
