The Late Late Show (U. S. TV series)The Late Late Show is an Americanlate- night television talk and variety show on CBS. It first aired in January 1. Tom Snyder, followed by Craig Kilborn and Craig Ferguson. It is currently hosted by James Corden.
The show originates from CBS Television City in Los Angeles. The show differed from most of the other extant late- night talk shows during its first two decades on air in that it did not use a house band or an in- studio announcer. The traditional opening monologue also tended to be different from that of other late night shows tending to avoid jokes with punch lines during Snyder and Ferguson's tenures in favour of a short conversational introduction when Snyder was host and a cold opening featuring either a musical parody, audience interaction, a short sketch or interaction between Ferguson and Geoff Peterson followed by an anecdotal stream of consciousness introduction during most of Ferguson's years.
While Craig Kilborn opened with a monologue it tended to be shorter than that used by other late shows. Corden's approach to the monologue has been a hybrid of topical punchline jokes and a stream of consciousness, although it is usually very short, as the show tends to favor longer recorded sections. History[edit]Tom Snyder (1. Tom Snyder hosted the program from its inception in January 1. Watch Father`S Day Online Moviesdbz. March 1. 99. 9. The choice of Snyder as host was made by David Letterman, whose contract with CBS gave him (via production company Worldwide Pants) the power to produce the show in the timeslot immediately after his own program and who had an affinity for Snyder, whose NBC late night series Tomorrow had been succeeded by Late Night with David Letterman.
The time slot on CBS previously carried repeats of Crimetime After Primetime. Snyder departed CNBC to host the Late Late Show on CBS.[1]Letterman and Snyder had a long history together: a 1. Tomorrow episode hosted by Snyder was almost exclusively devoted to a long interview with up- and- coming new comedy talents Letterman, Billy Crystal and Merrill Markoe. And in 1. 98. 2, when Tomorrow was canceled by NBC, Letterman's series Late Night with David Letterman, succeeded Tomorrow in the timeslot, and Snyder had been offered but refused a move to after Late Night by NBC. Snyder's show featured a mix of celebrities, politicians and other newsmakers, but was otherwise quite unlike the program hosted by Letterman. Snyder was a former newsman, not a comedian, and his show featured an intimate interview format with no studio audience present, similar to his old Tomorrow show of the 1.
Charlie Rose show and Later, which had abandoned the format the previous year. Though the show lacked a studio audience, Snyder still frequently gave extended conversational monologues, many of which contained jokes that prompted audible laughter from the off- camera production staff. Without the need for an audience, the show originated from the intimate Studio 5. CBS Television City.
Throughout most of the show's run, it was also simulcast over some CBS Radio stations,[2] and Snyder accepted calls from viewers/listeners somewhat in the manner of Larry King; to accommodate this, the show was broadcast live in the Eastern and Central United States and on radio in the west, a rarity for late- night talk shows that had otherwise transitioned to tape, though due to existing syndication contracts and resistance to give up local control of timeslots, many stations, such as WJZ- TV in Baltimore, would delay it to as late as 3: 0. When Snyder was on vacation, the show featured guest hosts such as Jon Stewart or Janeane Garofalo. Saxophonist David Sanborn composed and performed the theme music and several other songs featured on the show, all of which were smooth jazz pieces to fit the show's low- key, middle- of- the- night mood. Sanborn had previously been a guest saxophonist in The World's Most Dangerous Band during Late Night with David Letterman. Unlike other late- night shows, The Late Late Show did not have a house band (a tradition that carried on to its iterations under Kilborn and Ferguson) or any announcer, except for the last episode, when Snyder allowed one of his staff members to announce an introduction. Letterman had offered the Late Late spot to Garry Shandling, a former permanent guest host of the Tonight Show but Shandling turned the offer down in favour of The Larry Sanders Show[3] (NBC had previously approached Shandling about succeeding Letterman on Late Night but he had also declined that offer). Letterman then insisted on Snyder despite CBS wanting a younger host with a comedy background and a more traditional late night talk variety format.[4] In 1.

When Snyder announced he was leaving, the show was reformatted to resemble Letterman and other major late- night talk programs.
Craig Kilborn took over in March 1. The Daily Show to become the new Late Late Show host (previously he was an anchor on ESPN's Sports. Center). When Kilborn was on the show, it began with an image of a full moon wavering behind gray stratus clouds, to the tuning of an orchestra, while the announcer—the recorded, modulated voice of Kilborn himself—blurted out, "From the gorgeous, gorgeous Hollywood Hills in sunny California, it's your Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn. Tonight," and then the guests were announced, backed by the show's theme song, composed by Neil Finn.[citation needed] Then Kilborn was presented, "Ladies and gentlemen, *pause* Mister Craig Kilborn", with the 1. Wild Cherry song "Play That Funky Music".
After Kilborn's stand- upmonologue, he walked to his "Bavarian oak desk"[citation needed] while Finn's theme song continued playing with the chorus "The Late Late Show is starting. The Late Late Show is starting now." The "Desk Chat" was said[citation needed] to be Craig's favorite part of the show.
