Yikes, I definitely hope none of those people take over.

How about some fresh content and not this stale format which is just a big promotional vehicle for the network and or these celebrities lates movie/show/song/sextape.

How about aw.com after dark?

[Stradling]

If it wasn't CBS I would say someone like Chelsea Handler, but since it is CBS, and they certainly wouldn't take that kind of chance, it will be someone that is very vanilla, someone like Drew Carry.

There is nobody less funny than Chelsea Handler.

I don't want great comedians put into a box like that. For late night you need guys who are amusing with likable personalities.

Jimmy Fallon ... after Jay Leno decides he wants to go back to NBC.

Kermit the Frog.

I remember seeing videos of the muppets sitting in for Carson. Hilarious.

Dr Teeth and the Electric Mayhem for the house band.

This is where Fallon is absolutely perfect. I am blown away by how much I like the Tonight Show with him, considering I didn't think he was very good on SNL. I don't know if I would have called the tonight show in the past, even with Johnny Carson (one of my idols) a comedy show. It was more of a interview show, with a monologue and of course Johnny is witty, but he was a good interviewer that could improv very well if the show needed it. Fallon has constantly called his show a comedy show and it is working.

[Stradling]

Tina Fey would be great at it, but I don't see her working for anyone else other than NBC.

[nate]

I agree Tina Fey would be very good.  Seriously doubt it would happen.

 

What about Anderson Cooper?  He is a good interviewer, not crazy narcissistic and he has a good sense of humor.

 

Jamie Foxx would be really good too.

thanks, but i'm not really interested in moving to new york.

 

 

 

 

 

you were talking about me, right?

[Chimi]

Anderson Cooper had his Anderson Live show for a short time and he said he didn't like it that much and it was out of his element. He is a news junkie and loves doing news stories and going to other countries to cover stuff.

I read somewhere else about Neil Patrick Harris. I think that's a pretty good choice.

I don't think AC would excel. I don't think he's quite funny enough. If the format of the Late Show changed it might work. Tina Fey would be fantastic!

[nate]

NPH would be awesome.

Tim Meadows

 

 

 

lol

 

j/k

[Adam]

Norm MacDonald would be the best, but he'd either quit or be fired within in a few months

[Taylor]

[Amazing Larry]

NPH would be awesome.

 

I vote for this.

[Sully151]

NPH would be great. He has so many connections with magicians (he is the president of te Magic Castle) Variety Artists, Broadway etc. he could turn it into more of an old school Variety Show.

He has what I would assume to be a great relationship with CBS and is well liked in Hollywood.

The question would be, would he keep the show in NYC or move it to LA. His family is in LA, I believe.
