I just thinking about this for some reason. I haven't watched regularly for years at this point, maybe since Conan was still on NBC. Not that I miss it- between all these streaming services and video games, there's just too much to watch anyway.

 

[InfiniteCombo]

Never have. And, based on some of the clips I see here and there, I never will.

 

[BigBooper]

No. I watched Conan some before he went to tbs, but the modern shows are pure garbage. Zero comedy in the clips I've seen.

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

I watched Conan when I still had cable a long, long, long time ago. Every other late night show I've watched has been absolute garbage. Conan used to be alright.

 

[Putonahappyface]

When it was good back in the 1990s. Now UK TV is absolute shite and not worth the television licence. Some examples of shows I loved.

The Word
Hotel Babylon
Euro Trash
Never Mind The Buzzcocks
TFI Friday
Beavis and Butthead.

 

[Big Baller]

I stay up for the sex commercials

 

[haxan7]

I haven't since I was a kid in the 90s/early 2000s. I loved Conan.

 

[TransTrender]

Nah, never really got in to it.
For a large portion of my life Adult Swim and Toonami were my 'late night television' background noises of choice.

 

[Tuff McNutt]

I haven't since Craig Ferguson quit. All of the current shows are awful.

Who the fuck wants to watch dancing vaccines or Fallon fall off his chair laughing at the wet sock puppet in chief.

I don't like to use the term "cringe," I think it's overused.

But the examples you listed ARE cringe as fuck. (So, I agree with you, no one wants to watch that crap.)

 

[eddie4]

I only watched Conan, and once they fucked him out of the deal, I don't watch late-night anymore.

 

[Shai-Tan]

I think those shows only make sense in a cable tv world, channel surfing at midnight when nothing else is on. I think that content works better as 5-10 minute YouTube clips - or podcasts, which despite being long form interviews cut out the variety show nonsense. I listen to Conan O‘Brien’s podcast sometimes and some of them are genuinely funny but he really doesn’t know when to let a joke go when it isn’t working - and the repetition of the same in jokes ever and over remind me why I stopped watching his show in like 2006

 

[Doom85]

I haven’t watched TV itself in ages. Gaming, streaming, and occasionally Blu-Rays/DVDs, but actual TV channels are becoming a distant memory to me.

Jesus might as well ask me the last time I visited a cobbler.

This thread feels like it time traveled from the 90's/early 2000's...

I visit my cobbler regularly. How do you resole your boots? I even resole my Birkenstocks.

But have you ever caught a late night showing of the Cobbler?

that movie is so bad

 

[nush]

When else could you watch Prisoner Cell Block H?

 

[Cyberpunkd]

I don't watch TV except 1pm news every few weeks - trying to find a way to use Apple TV app to watch the TV, but it seems like a paid option from my provider ffs. Now I need to have a box on the table that I turn on once in a while.

 

[joedan]

Used to watch Leno and Letterman. When Trump got elected late night tv became Trump central. Regardless of what one thinks of Trump it got unbearable hearing about Trump all the time.

That's basically a list of what I watched as a young teen. Eurotrash for the titties, The Word for ... actually don't know. The bands were decent at least. TFI was actually funny as well.



EDIT: The bird on the far left was a MTV interviewer who did an episode on Dave Navarro when he was in the Chili Peppers. His rooms were all coffins and crucifixes. It was a flirt-a-thon. Pretty sure they banged.

 

[SJRB]

Haven't watched television in years. In fact, the tv's here aren't even hooked up to the receiver.

Linear television is absolute trash.

That was a guilty pleasure of mine. Half the cast went to neighbours lol.

 

[Soltype]

Watched late night all throughout the 90s and 00s, stopped when Conan's tonight show was cancelled. I watched this show on TBS for a few years, but it wasn't the same.

That's Kennedy, she's on Fox News now.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Not since Johnny Carson.

 

[Amerikan]

Ppl still watch TV?

 

[Sidney Prescott]

I used to. Lately I just end up watching YouTube & Twitch late at night. TV isn't really a thing for me anymore aside from series on streaming services.

 

[Vagswarm]

Haven't had cable or watched TV in a long time. Watch a lot of late night Youtube clips though.

 

[Ghost27]

I haven't watched TV in ages YouTube and internet is all I need.When I did have cable I never really watched it.

 

[Boss Mog]

I used to watch Conan a lot but that's about it. Now they're almost all just propaganda mouthpieces who aren't funny, which is probably why they recently lost the ratings battle to Gutfeld who's kind of obnoxious and not that funny but who makes fun of stuff that should be made fun of.

 

[NecrosaroIII]

Conan Craig Furguson and Kimmy Kimmel were my favorites. Only jmmy is still around.


Usually I'm in bed before he comes on though

 

[Stop Motion Pornography]

Late night, afternoon, evening... I watch TV at any time of day I damn well please, thank you very much.

 

[BouncyFrag]

It’s garbage.

 

[HAYA8U5A]

Short of the Conan travel specials I couldn't tell you the last time I watched a full episode of a late night show and those don't really count. It would have been Conan since he was my favorite but even with him it eventually turned into just selectively picking highlights online if I cared about a guest which is the same with the hosts I can't stand like Fallon and Corden. Maybe if Kimmel ever stops running out of time for Damon I will tune in for a full episode of that just to be a part of that historic moment.

Married with Children and Sledgehammer was on before that PCBH.

 

[Kenpachii]

Don't really watch tv in general. Commercials are a outdated concept i couldn't care for since a decade ago.
