TV show hosts, we’ve gone through a few.
From the allegations that ended Ellen’s illustrious TV career, to Lilly Singh’s unfortunately fruitless foray into the world of late night, how the internet’s inhabitants cross-pollinate to other platforms is a curious conundrum. Given many modern day talk show’s reliance on social media for greater proliferation, they regularly experience the advantages, and disadvantages of being able to answer immediately to an audience who can be known to turn on a dime, but it’s a risk that many are willing to take, especially with the world as it is today.
With video-sharing and streaming platforms taking up a significantly larger market share than they used to, content running on syndicated and cable have needed to adapt to the evolving landscape or risk being left behind. At the same time, virality can often only be fleeting, and as we saw this last year with the cancellation of Dr. Phil’s self-titled TV show, at one point the basis of some of the most viral content on YouTube, the internet moves fast, and the internet moves on. Late Night Shows still pull sizable ratings, but studios and networks are always going to be concerned with the trend, and in the past few years, late night shows have seen more endings than beginnings, particularly on the later night slots which were often used to test the potential of future content. It sent the message that the confidence in this format was waning. How come?
Over the past few decades, ratings on many late night shows have remained solid thanks to their ability to tap into relevant issues, and use the host’s charisma to build a closer one-to-one relationship with the audience. The losses over TV have often been filled in with the YouTube success, whose monetisation is maximised due to lucrative deals with the video-sharing platform, but in the past few years, the path that many of these shows appeared to be on has somewhat diverged from the tastes of the youngest target demographic: Gen Z, and for us, it wasn’t hard to see why.
In the past few years, there has been a different kind of virality on the internet, one where a concept generates a significant degree of fame, but one more akin to infamy, and even if a trend is well-documented, and even “popular” to a degree, it may be treated with contempt by those who engage with it the most. It seems that the writers and producers of these shows didn’t really grasp this, and their approach to the “interests” of the Gen Z, has been one that often appeared to alienate viewers more than it did entice them. In essence: late night was becoming out of touch, and its slate of rather inoffensive yet insipid hosts was doing little to appease these concerns, but was there a place for that style? One man would argue so.
This is James Corden.
