    I want to see the numbers a month from now. I wouldn't be surprised if Fallon holds on to the lead, but I seriously doubt he's going to have twice the audience that Letterman and Kimmel have...

    Underrated late night show: After Midnight on Comedy Central.

    Fallon is not funny. At all.

    Apparently millions of people disagree. Or at least there is some reason they like him.

    Fallon had 4.456 million viewers last night, up 24 percent over Leno's Thursday average.

    The format is just so dated to me: the lame celebrity interview.

    @Midnight is the best strip show (i.e., daily show) on cable at the moment.

    I don't necessarily disagree with you. The question is: What is a better format, considering that people are turning on the show to watch the stars come out? That's what they do; they bring the stars out and talk to them.

    However, Fallon's big plus is that he actually gets many of the stars to do something besides sit in a chair and plug their next project. So, he really IS changing the format, just not so drastically.

    Exactly. IMO, if you had Fallon take what he does for the first 20-30 minutes and expand it to the entire show, it might be closer to what Buck's talking about.

    Maybe he will eventually, but he'd be nuts to get the Tonight Show gig and immediately revamp the whole thing. I wouldn't mind, but a lot of people would.

    I'm not sure what the new formats would be. I'm just so bored with the existing late-night format.

    Graham Norton's show in the UK is a fun watch. Of course, the guests drink on it.

    Oh, I think a few guests on America's late-night couches have, too. (Doubly true if you count Chelsea.)
