The main problem I have had with Late Night in general is that it just stopped being funny.

Being on EVERY NIGHT, and for AN HOUR, it gets hard to come up with monologues and sketches for every episode. Then you have the mind numbing interviews that are nothing more than promotions for this book, that movie, or the other TV show.

Cut them down to 30 minutes and you have something like the Daily Show that hits, scores, and runs away before you stop laughing.

NBC should have learned from SNL that you can take the funniest people on the planet and make them as entertaining as the DMV when you force 30 seconds of funny into a 5 minute sketch. You just can't take that much air to fill up an hour of late night 5 nights a week.
