NBC attempted to transit second Late Night host Conan O'Brien to succeed Leno in 2. Leno posted less than stellar ratings, leading to a domino effect on the late local news. O'Brien's Tonight also suffered falling ratings.

Jimmy Fallon, a former cast member on Saturday Night Live, was appointed the third host of Late Night by executive producer Lorne Michaels in 2. Fallon incorporated the Internet much more than other talk shows.[3] Between Fallon's own musical sensibilities and the recruitment of his house band, hip- hop collective The Roots, his incarnation of Late Night "evolved into the most deeply musical of TV’s musical- comedy variety programs", with sketches in which he parodies Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen going viral online.[2] Coincidentally, it was during the Tonight Show debacle that Fallon's show found its footing.[2] The show, according to Fallon's former SNL castmate Tina Fey, established itself as "an uncommonly warm, welcoming show."[2] In 2. New York complimented Fallon's "good humor" and noted his improvement: "In the relative safety of his 1. Fallon has been cultivating a distinct, and refreshing, strain of humor: the comedy of unabashed celebration."[4] "In our heads, we've been doing The Tonight Show […] We're just on at a later hour," Fallon said.[5]Transition[edit]Fallon grew up with no designs on the Tonight job (unlike O'Brien or Leno), most likely because he was just 1.

Carson retired.[2] Discussions for Fallon to take over The Tonight Show began in early 2. Many industry observers noted that the change appeared to come as a result of another late- night competitor, Jimmy Kimmel (2.

Carson's retirement) of Jimmy Kimmel Live! ABC, who moved to the 1. NBC feared that by waiting too long to promote Fallon, Kimmel could create a stranglehold on young demographics, which is key to the financial success of the franchise.[6] Fallon had reportedly impressed top executives at Comcast (which had recently completed a full takeover of NBCUniversal), and his succession was widely expected throughout the company.[6] The transition reportedly lacked the tension of previous Tonight transitions, and the program's relocation east "signals NBC’s strong commitment to not messing with the program any further."[2]On April 3, 2. NBC announced that Leno would retire in 2.

Fallon taking over The Tonight Show beginning on February 2. At Leno's suggestion, the date was moved forward from the end of his contract in September 2. February so as to use NBC's coverage of the 2. Winter Olympics as a springboard for Fallon's tenure.[7] The date was later moved up a week to February 1. Olympics.[8]As Leno's contract ran until September 2. Emphasis on sketch comedy[edit]By bringing over many of his recurring bits and features from Late Night, Fallon has departed in a few ways from the format which Leno used for his show. Fallon's edition places less emphasis on his opening monologue, a feature which was a staple of the Leno edition.

In his opening episode, in which he described what the format of the show would be, he only briefly mentioned the monologue.[1. The show has many recurring segments and games that are played with the various celebrity guests. The most popular of these, Lip Sync Battle, was spun off into its own show by Fallon. Other segments include playing charades, Catchphrase, Pictionary, or other familial style games. Additionally, Fallon and celebrity guests regularly appear in sketches parodying pop culture or political events. These segments normally take place after the monologue, but have occurred as a cold open for the show on a few occasions.[1. Just as he portrayed Mitt Romney during the 2.

Fallon portrayed Republican candidate Donald Trump[1. Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders.[1. Alongside Fallon's impressions, other celebrities occasionally appear. Several have recurring roles, including Dion Flynn as Barack Obama,[1. David Alan Grier as Ben Carson,[1.

Aziz Ansari as Bobby Jindal,[1. Steve Higgins as Jeb Bush,[1.

AD Miles as Lindsey Graham.[1. After his critically acclaimed appearances as Trump on Tonight, Fallon was asked to play the role on the December 1. Saturday Night Live, since Taran Killam (who had been announced as the season's Trump) would be busy playing Ted Cruz. Fallon accepted the offer, but the plan fell through at some point before the show. The role was filled by Darrell Hammond, who played Trump over his fourteen years on SNL.[1.

Fallon has also appeared as figures such as Vladimir Putin[1. Bob Dylan.[2. 0]Production[edit]The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon originates from NBC Studio 6- B at 3. Rockefeller Plaza in New York City, the original home of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, where it is taped every weekday at 5pm.[2. The studio housed both Carson and his predecessor, Jack Paar, before the franchise's move to Burbank in 1. It is where The Tonight Show started - - actually in the studio where we are going to be, that's where Johnny Carson was, there's Broadway, there's Times Square, there's something glamorous about it. That is The Tonight Show," Fallon remarked.[2. NBC spent approximately $5 million renovating Studio 6- B, where Fallon had been taping Late Night, for The Tonight Show's return to New York City.[2.

The upgraded 6- B contains improved acoustics and a seating capacity of around 2. The Late Late Show.[2. The investment also included a new control room and a new lobby to welcome guests.[2.

The larger audience also meant NBC could take advantage of a newly enacted New York state tax credit for talk shows that are "filmed before a studio audience of at least 2. New York for at least five seasons."[2. Fallon's Late Night successor, Seth Meyers, is housed directly above his studio in Studio 8- G; the combination created logistical challenges for executives, who were concerned about "sound bleed" (as the building was built with steel girders, sound is too easily conducted floor to floor). As a result, The Tonight Show tapes at 5: 0. Meyers' show tapes later in the evening, at 6: 3.

Additionally, because of The Roots' still active tour schedule, The Tonight Show tapes two shows on Thursday at New York, one for Thursday night's airing, and one for Friday night's airing. Boardwalk Empire Season 4 Deaths.

The Best TV Shows of Summer, Ever, and Where to Stream Them — Watch. Every week, Indie. Wire asks a select handful of TV critics two questions and publishes the results on Tuesday. The answer to the second, “What is the best show currently on TV?” can be found at the end of this post.)This week’s question: What is the perfect summer show? Why? (Note: This doesn’t have to be a current show)Alan Sepinwall (@sepinwall), Uproxx. When you’re picking the perfect summer show, you first have to define your terms.

The OC” and “American Idol” debuted in the summer, but so did “The Wire” and “Mad Men.” So your definition can be wide and varied. And with most of TV history available to us with a few clicks, almost anything can become a summer binge on a boiling day when you really need to stay indoors. That said, while some of the greatest series ever aired at times while school was out, I suspect the spirit of the question is more about what show is perfect to watch when you just need something light and breezy after either a day at the beach or a sweltering day at the office when you wish you had gone to the beach. GLOW,” for instance, is far from the best Netflix original ever, but it’s fun and happy and easy to digest, and makes a far better summer show than, say, “Bo. Jack.”Looking into the past, there are plenty of great network procedurals — “Magnum P. I.,” say, or “The Rockford Files,” or “Quantum Leap” — that retroactively make for good summer streaming choices now, but those shows originally aired from fall through spring. So if I want to be a stickler about it, I’ll pick USA’s “Burn Notice,” which started out in the summer — its first season aired directly opposite the first year of “Mad Men,” in fact — and never seemed entirely at home when USA started airing half of each season in winter.

In many ways the epitome of USA’s “blue skies” era, it took place under the hot Miami sun, mostly featured easy- to- follow cases, leaned heavily on the banter between its four stars, and could always be counted upon to offer a cool new spycraft lesson or three each week, like that time Michael, Fi, and Sam used a coffee can filled with thermite to melt through a bad guy’s engine block. Plus, yogurt is an excellent summer food.“Burn Notice” is streaming on Netflix, along with “Mad Men,” “GLOW,” and “Bo. Jack Horseman.” “The OC” is streaming on Hulu, along with “The Rockford Files” and “Quantum Leap.” “The Wire” is available on HBO NOW and Amazon Prime. “Animal Kingdom”Eddy Chen/TNTAllison Keene (@Keene. TV), Collider. I have two. First, to define it: a perfect summer series for me is one with plenty of beachfront drama.

The OC” first premiered in the summer of 2. California aesthetic made for a great TV vacation (plus a main character’s name was literally Summer). Even when the show moved away from the beach for certain plots, it remained a key element to the show’s charm. Currently, “Animal Kingdom” is fitting the bill for me — so much pool time, surfing, beach bars, eye candy (for everyone!), and enough drama to keep me engaged even beyond the seaside locale (something that “Bloodline” failed to do after its first season, which notably premiered in winter). It’s a getaway in many forms, which is what I ultimately require from a great summer series: escapism.“The OC” is streaming on Hulu.

Got to go with “Alone on History.” Shark Week on Discovery seems the right answer, too, and I really want to throw in a huzzah for ABC’s rebooted “The Gong Show.” But “Alone” really captures my eyeballs in a way that most reality survival competitions do not. Interestingly, the women always seem to be more comfortable in their skin and less mentally stressed out “alone” than the male contestants. I love the inventiveness of how they all conceptualize and construct their shelters, find and forage food and the various survival strategies they come up with in the nothingness of wherever they’ve been dropped off. This is coming from someone who would rather have a root canal than go camping in the woods, too!“Alone” is streaming on History, Amazon Video, and Apple TV.

Daniel Fienberg (@The. Fien. Print), The Hollywood Reporter. Watch When The Bough Breaks Online Free HD on this page. I still have a ratty old beach towel from the summer of 2. Fox decided to go all- in on originals including a lot of shows that I remember fondly but nobody else does, shows like “Quintuplets” and “North Shore” and, my favorite of course, “Method & Red.” The show that actually succeeded from that group, pointing to it as an actually appropriate summer show, was “The O. C.” The danger when something succeeds in context is that we come to think all success is the same.

Netflix’s “Stranger Things” was the perfect show for last summer, a nostalgia- soaked and perfectly cast bit of generally family amenable (if not quite family *friendly*) science fiction that went down easy either in binge form or spaced over a week or two. Stranger Things” was so perfect for its particular circumstances that awards voters have gotten a little confused and decided all perfection is created equal. There are FAR better dramas than “Stranger Things” that I would never think to praise as exemplary summer TV and there are FAR worse pieces of summer TV that are way more worthy of Emmy attention than “Stranger Things.”“The O.

C.” is streaming on Hulu. Stranger Things” is streaming on Netflix. Liz Shannon Miller (@lizlet), Indie.

Wire. I gotta say, the way in which “Orange Is the New Black” originally launched was perfect timing. I wasn’t looking for anything extremely dramatic that summer, and the mix of comedy and drama was just the right sort of tone, one that I found quickly addictive. I’m casually rewatching the series from the beginning right now, and it’s been quite soothing; the big drama executed with a light touch is proving to be a nice come- down after weeks of covering “Better Call Saul” and “The Handmaid’s Tale.” Which is weird to admit, but that’s how things work.“Orange is the New Black” is streaming on Netflix.“The OC”Snap Stills/REX/Shutterstock. Joyce Eng (@joyceeng. TVGuide. com. I’d normally say Big Brother, but since I just named it as my guilty pleasure two weeks ago, I’ll go with “The O. C.” Summer is mindlessness, hazy, dreamy, beachy fun times, suds and sun, and “The O. C.” had that in spades.

Maybe because I was a teen, but there was nothing more lazily aspirational than than watching these rich hot people hang out in the California sun. The show is the summer ideal, yet only aired once during our hottest months (when the series premiered in August 2. Nothing would’ve been better than having “The O. C.” declare “Welcome to summer, bitch!” every year.“The O.

The year- round TV calendar has made vast improvements to our viewing diets, but I do miss the frivolousness and impermanence that summer TV used to signal, the TV equivalent of an ice cream cone on a sunny day. ABC’s keeping this kind of summertime junk food alive with its Fun And Games block — now with more battling network stars! The Alphabet perfected the form during the initial run of “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.” It was ideal viewing for the dog days of August, when “Millionaire”’s notoriously simple early questions represented the most I cared to mentally exert myself, and the precarious nature of later rounds conjured drama out of thin air.

Though the lighting and the music certainly pitched in there, too.) Before it had all the novelty pummeled out of it during regular- season airings, before its sci- fi coliseum set design became de rigueur for modern game shows, “Millionaire” was just a multiple- choice lark that devoured pop culture for two weeks.
