This is just a clandestine way of saying you're a Jeb fan. ;-)
Seriously, this is better than the godawful "Roots" theme that what's his name uses on NBC. But it can't touch either Conan's (at least before when was on after Leno and then on The Tonight Show; don't know what he's doing lately) or the best theme of them all, Johnny Carson's.
Personally it does nothing for me. All these late night shows have bands now, even The Late Late Show which never did until now. Carson's Tonight Show theme was written by Paul Anka, a great writer and it showed. Didn't hurt that the NBC Orchestra could really jam. Letterman had a great theme, and in my mind, better when he was on NBC, but Shaffer was able to retool it and make it more broad for a wider audience after the move to CBS. I've always liked Conan's band as well. But I'm really not feeling the new Late Show theme, or band for that matter.
Hey...Colbert's theme song is pretty cool?!
ReplyDeleteI don't like the music much, but the video effect is amazing!

So far, not much interesting about the Late Show - he isn't that clever, that funny, or much of an interviewer. Where's Dave!
ReplyDeleteCoal-bert peaked when he was Mr Goodwrench.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the truth..
DeleteYes the theme is catchy. I like playing the 'Where's Stephen' throughout the video intro.
ReplyDeleteThe Late Late Show has a fun and snappy theme as well.
The lamest theme is late Night with Seth Meyers
