Late Show UK

Something interestingly-random for you now - I’ve been reading this, which says according to a recent investigation, people watching the Late Show eat 44% more potato chips, than if they were just sitting there not watching TV. Jay Leno viewers are said to eat 42% more potato chips when watching at home. Now, where did I put my crisps…?

Updated 17th June 2007.

Can you remember back to Monday? The week has gone pretty quick, but a certain new logo was released. Given all manor of descriptions unrepeatable here, the new London 2012 logo caused some controversy. Jon Stewart picked up on it on the Daily Show.

There’s less clips about this week of all the shows, and none at all from Craig Ferguson. Which is a shame, considering the big news this week is Paris Hilton. Oh wait, I mean this Paris Hilton.

Fortunately David Letterman was able to get a link on the big CBS satellite with the LA County Jail. On Wednesday it was time to ask Nicole Richie, who will be facing similar charges this summer of her thoughts on jail. As proved by the MTV Awards at the weekend, just mentioning Paris Hilton and jail illicits a huge audience reaction. Just see this Conan clip for proof.

Remember the Street View we mentioned a while back? Lewis Black gets something off his chest about it. Whilst we’re still holding out on the BBC HD Freeview service between 2am and 6am, many US shows have been airing in HD for a while. Just look how different news “anger” Brian Williams looks here. And if all this Paris news is too much, relax with some headlines from Leno and share a drink with Conan at Joe’s place.

So - Paris Hilton is in jail. I’m racking my brains to remember all the things Dave and Paul called it when Martha Stewart went away. No word yet on whether Dave and Paul are taking a van cross country to pick her up when she’s released. The Late Show website lists Nicole Richie as being a guest on Wednesday.

Over in LA Jay Leno is celebrating 15 years in Late Night TV. There are a few clips on YouTube, and although I don’t often catch The Tonight Show, some of these are pretty funny. Link: The Tonight Show: The Audience Wants to Know.

If you’re interested in all the Late NIght shows and US TV in general, you’ll be doing yourself a favour if you listen out for Cash Peters’ US TV Round-up on BBC Radio Five Live. He’s been on Capital and other stations for a while now, and is on for 20 minutes every Wednesday morning. I mean real morning - 2.40am. Fortunately there’s a direct link for listen again. Last week he discussed Leno’s 15th Anniversary, and Letterman and Craig Ferguson often pop up as topics of conversation. Link: Up All Night (scroll to Weds and click listen alongside TV Round Up).

Hope that keeps you busy for a few minutes whilst all the shows start again after a week off.

According to recent guest listings, Paris Hilton is due to be on the Late Show this Wednesday. Paris is due to be in jail early next week - unless they’re doing an interview live via satellite? I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
