LateNighter’s Monthly Roundtable podcast returns with an episode that examines one of the most consequential months in late-night history.
Following Stephen Colbert‘s sign off after more than a decade at CBS, Bill Carter, Mark Malkoff, and Jon Schneider look at what his final weeks revealed about the state of the time period—and where late night goes from here.
From Byron Allen’s arrival at 11:35 and Jimmy Kimmel’s changing position atop the late-night landscape to Saturday Night Live‘s post-Season 51 outlook and one YouTuber’s efforts to reinvigorate the format, the conversation explores an industry at an inflection point.
