Nothing that I've ever explicitly read, it just seems that Weinberg considers playing with the E Street Band to be his real passion and then the stuff with Conan was just a side gig, which is why he didn't follow Conan after the Tonight Show debacle, nor did he participate in that live tour Conan did during the period when he was prohibited from appearing on television.

If we are going all time than Paul Shaffer is up there. Reggie Watts great. Craig Ferguson's mouth organ. Branford Marsalis for realizing he didn't want to hang around Leno for the rest of his career. Sheila E was the best thing about The Magic Hour. Doc Severinsen looked like my stepdad. I can't remember Arsenio's bandleader. Nor Joan Rivers. Nor Kimmel. Does Kimmel have a band?

Yeah Paul Shaffer and the CBS Orchestra is S-Tier. The Roots are bogged down by being tied to Fallon, tbh

counterfeitsaint posted:What happened with Max? I have not sampled this particular tea, please spill. Andy was on Comedy Bang Bang a while back and sorta got into it, but the gist was that when all the poo poo with Jay went down, Max was basically totally game to stick around and be Jay's band leader, which I think frayed things a little. It's actually a surprisingly insightful interview with Andy, but he more or less launches right into it from the jump and explains how much he's not a fan of Leno, the why of NBC's decisions and just how disastrous Jay's not-Tonight Show was for local affiliates, all that stuff. He doesn't explicitly poo poo talk Max, but you can tell there was definitely some animosity under the surface (and this interview is fairly recent, so I think it's still there). And, yeah, as others have said, he basically would drop everything to go tour with Springsteen again - mostly because of how much playing with The E Street Band meant to his career and everything that followed when he originally took the gig. Rappaport posted:He wised up and left late night to have an actual career, and Colber's new band leader is pretty mediocre IMO. Though I'm not the main audience anyway It was the right move for Jon for sure, but even after a couple of years, he had that prodigy brain that makes him amazing as a musician, but poo poo for banter, which Louis Cato is at least a little better at. I too am not the target audience for the music, and literally can't hum anything they've played other than the original theme song. It's just kinda... there. I miss the random surprise of FF7 music just randomly showing up out of nowhere. SamBishop fucked around with this message at 09:46 on May 4, 2024 |

how is it that shows like Jimmy Kimmel have those montages of local news clips, like people saying "I can't believe it's May already"...is there some automated way of picking these clips out or do they have people actually watching all these local news shows?

I believe there are a few local favorites they rely on, same with Last Week Tonight. There's also a couple of journalism archives that are used for sourcing reporting that you can use. Like "local news broadcast" " start of may" would get you enough hits to fill a segment.

I used to work at a news monitoring/transcription service and it was commonplace for some stories to use the same verbatim copy in multiple markets, be it an edict from the parent company or just reading a press release as a news item with no actual reporting/journalism involved. Companies used to pay us to transcribe the media coverage they got on each news show. I imagine working for a conglomerate of networks like Disney means they get direct access to these clips and it's a good reminder that local news isn't necessarily a good source for national news. And local networks are beholden to disseminate bullshit from the parent companies, like Sinclair Media does.

Also, I'm sure every late night show's own media library archive is meta-tagged to hell and back. Seth did a full montage a few weeks ago of Trump's hosed up speech patterns (ending, I think, appropriately with "God bless the United Stjedge..") and it would be hell to have to manually look for each of those if they hadn't been tagging them at the time they were recording them to be originally discussed on air. "Oh, we need a full compilation of Trump loving up what he's saying? Ok, give me a second..." and the editors just look up, I don't know, #trumpcantspeak.

Last Week Tonight is even more impressive in that since they find such unusually specific things. as much as I like to imagine some poor intern watching 30 different local news broadcasts I'm guessing every word of them are tagged and timestamped.

Subtitles. Everything that is broadcast gets subtitled, either live or afterwards. Those are then searchable.

AWS has a transcription service for videos, https://aws.amazon.com/transcribe/ , I wouldn't be surprised if companies out there were recording all manners of media and transcribing them to be searched through. I've seen fans of podcasts run episodes of podcasts through it to create a searchable interface, so major media companies probably have no trouble doing the same.

It at least used to be the case that some low paid person or intern still had to sit down and watch the clips to catalog them and tag them. But I'm guessing it's all much easier now with closed captions generally being searchable and archives being much easier to access. No more fast forwarding through a day's C-SPAN to get to McCain's speech anymore.

Netflix is doing some kind of live night show with John Mulaney this week. Caught an episode last night, it was pretty funny. Had some of that after midnight energy I enjoy.

I don't know when they record, would they have even been able to do anything about it for last night's episode? The news came in around 5:00pm. And they don't do a Friday night episode. This might have actually worked out in their favor.

It'll be a victory lap for sure, but I think Stephen's earned it. He turned very hard and very political, in a nominally "neutral" late night show, against mister Trump, and I think he's even expressed regret he had Trump on very early in the show's run.
