Late Night with Seth Meyers (2014)
A dreadful bore
From the monologues to his guest interactions, it's staged, artificial and monotone. Utterly dreadful. As a place holder for the 12:35 timeslot, I guess that makes him a perfect fit? (high pitched inflection mixed with confusion)
His segments, namely the 'Ya Burnt' segments are not purposeful. It seems as though this is an attempt at a catch-phrase. While seeing past SNL cast members on the show can be entertaining, the awkward interview with Maya Rudolph was more of a plea than anything else to get her to impersonate Rachel Dolezal. The timing and nature of the interview didn't welcome the impersonation as Seth might have hoped. It was just unnatural.
There are comedians in existence who execute 'smart-comedy' masterfully. Seth isn't one of them.
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon (2014)
Exactly what Late Night programs call for- Versatility and Wit
Late Night TV was in need of change, in order to stay relevant to the new generation of 18-49ers Jimmy Fallon is truly one of the most versatile comedian/actor/writer/producer/musicians etc. in show business and it is quite clear that Steve Higgins,a veteran writer/producer/actor/comedian/impersonator with a similar versatility with impersonations and organic sound effects, The Legendary Roots Band, known for their abilities to flawlessly play most relevant genres of music, masterfully craft comedy and music that caters to the millions of viewers (not to mention fans on all social media networks). Each element working in harmonious synchrony is what makes "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" and "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" the most successful late night programs on NBC reaching all ages of viewers.
