From
what I've seen, James Corden works big time. Hell, maybe he should get the Late
Show, he could easily compete with Fallon and Kimmel. Fallon, beyond his music
bits, his interview skills kinda suck. Why can't Stewart and Colbert stay/go
back to their respective shows? They were the tops. I miss Ferguson and even Kilborn.
Too bad there isn't a place for these guys.
Most of these shows would work better if they were a half hour. Maybe except Kimmel. His guests always seem relevant, his interview skills are killer, and he gets great bands (Van Halen, anyone?). So here are my late night re-assignments:
Jon Stewart: He stays with The Daily Show, gets rid of the boring guests at end of show, that's where he interviews pop stars.
Colbert: Stays on the Colbert Report, Larry Wilmore goes back to being the senior black correspondent on TDS
John Oliver: Stays exactly where he is, he is killing it.
The Tonight Show: Give it to Kimmel, the show itself is an institution, stays/goes back to California.
Late Nite: Give it back to Conan, the show is too late as it is anyway, and nobody watches TBS.
Seth Meyers: Fired.
Jimmy Fallon: He's good for some music parodies, he could show up with the Roots as a reoccurring guest on Late Nite or go back to SNL
SNL: Fire Lorne Michaels immediately. Reduce it to an hour, no musical guest or maybe one song, bring back Tina Fey & Amy Poehler
The Late Show: Yeah, Letterman needs to retire, he's overstayed his welcome just as Carson did. Give the show to James Corden.
Late, Late Show: Hmm, reduce to a half-hour, bring back Ferguson, maybe one guest per night. Definitely get rid of Reggie Watts, send him back to Comedy Bang-Bang, then cancel Comedy Bang-Bang.
Craig Kilborn: Since I took Kimmel from ABC, maybe ABC can put Kilborn back on the air, light hearted half-hour pop star interview show, which he'll probably quit in five years anyway, 'cause he's ungrateful.
Carson Daly: Fired.

Wayne, I’d have
some tweaks to this – and you do know, none of this would ever in a million
years happen, but anyway…
Tweaks:
Give
John Oliver an hour. 30 minutes is
too short for him. They extended the recent Edward Snowden episode anyway.
With
ABC tied to ESPN, ought to make Kilborn
do double duty, make half hour of his show about sports and air on both
networks. Or re-team him with Keith Olbermann.
More
substantially, too soon to anoint James Corden
‘King of Late Night.’ Samantha Bee
and Jason Jones should have taken over The Daily Show.
Why
not a version of Marc Maron’s “WTF”
interviews in the 1:30 am “Later”/Carson Daly spot?
