I think I remarked about this before the page was moved...Kilborn never had high ratings. Conan O'Brien always beat him. This needs to be reworded. Mike H 01:10, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)

Update this article

I want to know more about the show now that Fergeson has taken over, this article hardly talks about him (I've only watched the show a few times myself, ususally when there is a gust on that I want to see). I kind of like him, I think even he is funnier than Leno (but not as good as Dave or Conan) so It would be nice to know more about how the show has changed when he took over.

Snyder - Kilborn transition

Kiborn started at the end of March. I'm pretty sure Synder's last new show was in the teens of March (I thought it was Thursday the 18th, but that might just have been the day that he pointed out the it would be the last time that they would show the full credits since that was a once a week event).

Anyway, there was at least a week gap between Snyder's last new episode and Craig's. I seem to remember Snyder helping the new guy, as it says, by going longer, but I'm pretty sure that's because Tom was planning to leave a month or two early.

However, having been several years ago, I don't have any sources short of trying to find my tape of the last episode (which I may try to do this weekend). If anyone else has more easily accessible evidence (either way if my memory happens to be faulty), that would be nice, though.

Kilborn started the Tuesday after Snyder left. You can see the promo for Kilborn at the beginning of Snyder's last show (and he gives the date of Friday March 26 if you listen to his opening comments. Though I guess this means Kilborn started March 30th instead of the 29th. Down Kitty (talk) 05:29, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

Gap unaccounted for

According to the dates on the chart, nearly a month passed between Kilborn's final episode and the start of the first interregnum period with guest hosts. What aired during this month? Did they show Kilborn reruns or did Late Late Show leave the air during that time? 68.146.52.234 (talk) 20:05, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

"After Kilborn's exit on Friday, "The Late Late Show" is scheduled to be in reruns for three weeks until the fall season starts. At that time, the New York Daily News reports, Worldwide Pants will bring in a roster of guest hosts until it finds someone to fill the position permanently."[1] Down Kitty (talk) 01:50, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

Can the title card be changed to the current logo which doesn't have Ferguson's name? Down Kitty (talk) 05:39, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

Requested move 11 October 2018

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Move as proposed. Everyone agrees "show" is better than "series". No consensus on "franchise". (non-admin closure) В²C ☎ 20:12, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

• The Late Late Show (U.S. TV series) → The Late Late Show (U.S. talk show)
• The Late Late Show (Irish TV series) → The Late Late Show (Irish talk show)

– This one should be obvious – both of these are late-night talk shows, so they should be disambiguated with "talk show" as per WP:NCTV. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 03:37, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

• Comment: @IJBall: shouldn't we follow Talk:The Late Show (franchise)#Requested move 22 August 2018? At least for the US one, as each version has it's own series, so The Late Late Show (U.S. franchise). The Irish one could work with both, as there are no separate series articles (side note, when the move is complete, we should take care of the child articles of the Irish show, which should be disambiguated as parent. --Gonnym (talk) 06:50, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

As before, I wouldn't object to an alternate proposal of The Late Late Show (franchise) ("U.S." would be unneeded then, as this is the only "franchise" with this title), though I'd certainly want a redirect at The Late Late Show (U.S. talk show) as well, and I'd still want the other to be moved to The Late Late Show (Irish talk show)... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 12:26, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

Support with amendment - Support for Irish proposal, and support for (franchise) for US version. --Gonnym (talk) 07:10, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

• Support for both. Unquestionably more informative than TV series, which more often refers to dramas or documentaries, and having The Late Late Show (franchise) for the US version would cause confusion that each country's programme had bought the rights to use the name from some franchisor.

The real Late Late Show is Irish! Since 1962! 46.189.219.225 (talk | Contrib) 17:31, 1 August 2019

Sorry to those who think The Late Late Show is Irish, but WCBS-TV started airing "The Late Show" on February 26, 1951, showing feature films. The Late Show was a success and was soon followed by The Late Late Show which was a second movie after the first movie ended. That too was successful and WCBS-TV started airing The Late Late Late show which was a third movie after the second movie had ended. The logo for all three shows included a stylized skyline of black buildings against a medium grey sky with several lit windows showing in the buildings, there were fewer lit windows in each version of the logo. The theme music played with the logo was The Syncopated Clock. Interestingly enough, the Wikipedia listing for The Syncopated Clock is the only mention (on Wikipedia) of the Late Show, Late Late Show, and Late Late Late Show that aired on WCBS-TV in the 1960s.

The Late Late Show (American talk show) → The Late Late Show (American franchise) – This article is not about a specific TV series, but about a series of different series (talk shows) using this name, which is somewhat of a franchise. This is similar to The Late Show (franchise), which moved after this RM and Late Night (franchise), which moved after this RM. This would make all 3 articles WP:CONSISTENT with their disambiguation. Gonnym (talk) 17:00, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

• Support move to The Late Late Show (franchise) as per WP:CONSISTENT, and as per the fact the show is always titled The Late Late Show with... which tends to indicate that each host's version is a different "show" under The Late Late Show "franchise" umbrella. However, this is the only "franchise" article with this title, so "American" is unnecessary disambiguation (a hatnote from The Late Late Show (Irish talk show) can easily make this clear, if there's any concern...). --IJBall (contribs • talk) 18:32, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
  • I have no issue with this if this is what the consensus is. --Gonnym (talk) 14:09, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
• Oppose. "Talk show" is much more WP:RECOGNIZABLE for a TV show than "franchise" (if this even is a franchise; do any reliable sources call it that?), and especially with the Irish show to disambiguate from, the current title seems clearer. Station1 (talk) 07:46, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
  • It's not correct the disambig. in this case – The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson and The Late Late Show with James Corden already have separate articles: it's clear that this is effectively a "franchise" article, with some of the individual editions of the franchise having their own articles. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 13:23, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
    • The article says it's "an American late-night television talk and variety comedy show", like the current title. It doesn't call it a "franchise". It sounds like it might be WP:OR to call it that unless significant reliable sources do so. Station1 (talk) 23:15, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
      • Among the accomplishments to which the 37-year-old Brit is referring: "We have 5 million subscribers to our YouTube channel, we've got billions of views on YouTube, and we've delivered the two highest-rated episodes of The Late Late Show in the franchise's 25-year history. and Craig Ferguson hosted the third iteration of the "Late Late Show" franchise from a quick search in the first few results. The first one is the actual host of the show calling it a franchise. --Gonnym (talk) 23:22, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
        • Thanks. In that case, that issue is no longer a concern. Station1 (talk) 23:27, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

• Oppose – same show, different hosts. Dicklyon (talk) 04:51, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
  • Did you look at the sources, including one from the host calling it a franchise? Did you look at WP:CONSISTENT and the two other US late show articles and their RMs? --Gonnym (talk) 07:55, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

• Oppose. The Late Late Show is the name of the program. Hosts come and go, but it remains The Late Late Show. It makes sense to have created articles with the name of hosts, because each host has shaped the program according to his vision and style, but remove the host and The Late Late Show still continues.
