Late Night Comedy TV

There are numerous late night talk shows on the major networks these days, it seems most have at least two and even cable is getting into the game these days. (Leno, Fallon, Letterman, Ferguson, Kimmel, Lopez, Conan).

Comedy Central however has had success with the late night comedy news shows (Colbert, Stewart). These shows are critically successful (Emmey Win) and they do have a nice audience.

My question, do you think a show style of the late night comedy news desk would be successful on a major network (ABC, NBC, FOX, CBS)?


My thoughts:

There certainly is a lot of overlap currently. Some of the comedians do go for a different audience. Not to over simplify what they do, as there are many differences. But from a bigger picture they are the same shows.

I acknowledge the risk a network would take putting a comedy news show on, but I would hope one would want to try something different. The issue though is they would need to steal Stuart or somebody strongly established. If they copy the show format to closely, I don't think anyone would really give it a chance. Plus the audience would be skewed to a younger generation starting off. Would be hard to pull off but hey Chevy and Arsenio got a chance.

You guys can discuss.
