I can't remember the last time I actually watched an entire late night show. I usually just watch the clips that interest me on YT.
I usually watch every drop of Meyers' "Corrections", which is online only. Quite a few of the "A Deeper Look" segments.
Thinking about it now, Seth and his crew seem to be the best prepared for dealing with the modern media landscape. Clearly defined segments that are easily digestible outside of the broadcast.
I'd say Colbert is right behind them.
Fallon I definitely watch the least. I probably watch more clips of old Letterman shows.
I'm pretty sure Seth is entirely aware of where his bread is buttered. I recall him joking about it in the past. As much as I'm loathe to admit it, short digestible clips are the way things are right now.
I think Quibi's only problem wasn't the length of it's shows, but it's assertion that their content should be vertical because people watch on their phones; without stopping to realise that auto-rotate is a thing....
Many of the interviews (across all of late night) just don't interest me, so the clips work well.
Oh really? You're not enraptured by hearing an anecdote about how this random young actor/actress was so surprised when they first came to LA?
There are actually funny interviews too, mostly old people who do not give a shit about promoting anymore, and watching Harrison Ford be all over everything is great.
But 90% of it is the monologue and first feature, ie A Closer Look, Roll Call (Scollins, man, get another wifebeater, come on), and that one guy who did proper one-man skits (Jeff Wright, "then why'd he give me mine in the butt?")
I did say many - not all. I do watch some. I really like that I can pick and choose.
