Late Night Thing is back again, this week being very careful about what they wish for in the future. Sure, lamenting how bad the tv is in the summer seems a fair point for us to make, until you then see the cavalcade of stars come out for the talkies like they have been lately, and one is sure to get excited. Excitement fades quickly though as you suddenly realize the projects they are pushing ARE ALL AWFUL. Higher grade of celeb, lower grade of product, what’s gone wrong Hollywood? LNT - We could do your job in our sleep.
Week 34 of the greatest weekly guide to watching stuff, and it’s a great week to have such a great guide too. We can’t even imagine how lucky it is for you to have us! Not only are all the talkies bringing their bring with all new eps, but they’re actually good new episodes too. How is that possible you must wonder, and we wondered it too, but we’re ready to just accept it. Gratefully. LNT, beggars CAN be choosers.
Late Night Thing is back with another rundown of all things Late Night. Jay. Dave. Conan. Craig. Jimmy. You know who they are, you know what they do, and it’s up to the boys of LNT to tell you which ones you should watch this week and why. We’re like a tivo that runs on beer. And hate. LNT, we almost disappeared for a week like those guys at AST. Except we didn’t.
Late Night Thing Oh it’s a bad one this week people, bad. It’s all reruns, and not even all good reruns either. Sure, Stephan & Erech have faced down such tremendous odds before, battling back a whole week of reruns and still making LNT worth reading, but this week the boys just may not have it in them. LNT - Blah blah something about some words. Or something. Yeesh.
It’s week 31 here at the LNT offices, add to that the passing of comedian George Carlin, and the boy’s figure the least they can do to honor him is to do ABSOLUTELY. NOTHING. DIFFERENT. this week. Business as usual. Just because some guy you once saw on the tv croaked doesn’t mean the whole world has to grind to a halt, sorry Rufus but we got stuff to do. LNT - Yeah, we got a heart, wanna make somethin’ of it?!
It’s the 30th week here of LNT, 22 more and Stephan & Erech’ll get free tickets to ALL the talkshows, whenever they want, for the rest of their lives. Sure, part of that deal comes from a joint NBC/ABC lawsuit settlement (which the boys are MOSTLY barred from speaking about), but CBS decided to pony up on our behalves too. I mean it’s not like there are too many other people out on the tubes tellin’ you to watch the scot, right? LNT - We’ll work for food.
Well we finally reached our 29th week here at Late Night Thing. 29 is a big number, because after that comes 30, and then it’s all downhill from there. After 30 the hangovers are worse, the nose and ear hair really starts coming in, and things that used to strike you as awful now sound like a great idea. Maybe that explains why the walls at LNT HQ are covered in Breckin Meyer posters? LNT - You kids get off our lawn!
Late Night Thing is back, ripping and roaring its way through the 28th week of telling you (the reader!) what to watch, because we (Stephan and Erech!) know better than you do. It might sound smug, but it’s true. I mean look at you. Look at your hair, and that shirt. And remember, you went outside looking like that too. And you’re supposed to trust your word? LNT - Just sit back, we’ll make everything ok…
With every intention of making up for last weeks slow episode, Late Night Thing is back and ready to bring it for the masses - only to find out that every single show this week is going with reruns! Does that mean that LNT gets to show a rerun too, or maybe a compilation of our greatest hits? NO! Those boys of LNT show up every week with their hardhats on, ready to work. LNT - No rest for the wicked.
It’s our 26th week, and sure enough we here at Late Night Thing just gave you all a call, oh yeah, that’s right - this one is getting phoned in kids! Since most of the talkies seem to slack off on at least 3 episodes a week, Stephan & Erech figure that they’re entitled to blow just one episode of LNT every 6 months, and this is gonna be that one! LNT - Hey, anyone hear the phone ringing?
