All the list are random humor[edit]

"All the list are random humor, even a infamous one that involves making fun of Jay Leno that Peter won't care about someone who likes Leno's humor." I've tried to read this numerous times and make sense of it. Someone fix it. Timmypees 03:17, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wow. I can't believe it took that long, but it's fixed. -- MusicMaker5376 18:30, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Name change?[edit]

To match similar-content pages, shouldn't this article be named List of sketches on the Late Show? --Jon Terry 16:57, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Lssegue.jpg[edit]

Image:Lssegue.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Lt. Len Easton = Jeff Altman?[edit]

I've seen numerous references online that caller Lt. Len Easton is actually a character of comedian Jeff Altman, but all are located in discussion groups and blogs. Anyone know of any official attribution? (Would anybody official ever fess up?) Mapsax (talk) 21:20, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is this the return of "Is This Anything?", or was that nothing?[edit]

It seems to me it was the wrong part of the show (the end), but they did "Is This Anything?" tonite. Roughly:

You mean that was a woman? Let's take another look at it.

OK, i thot that was another guy he was standing on, and that his foot was on the other guy's business, that would have been something. No, that's nothing.

Do they need it back, having proved the other nite that "Great Moments in Presidential Speeches" isn't funny when Obama is the punch line?

Leonard Tepper[edit]

Could someone also mention Leonard Tepper in the sketches? He was in some of the fun with Rupert sketches, and quite a standard part of the show when he was alive. C9 (talk) 21:51, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Quiz Machine[edit]

Anyone remember the Quiz Machine, and know enough about it to add it? I recall it lasted for at least a year in the late 90's. Rugz (talk) 20:41, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Current Sketches Only?[edit]

Is this to be a compendium of all sketches, CBS and NBC or only newer? I can't think of the last time I saw "Brush With Greatness", but seems like it was a fairly regular audience participation event.--65.36.19.234 (talk) 06:43, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rick, the other creepy intern[edit]

How about Rick, the creepy intern who is in some ways a counterpoint to Lyle, comes up from behind Dave, says nothing until pressed, and then very little, sometimes doesn't know who Dave is, and tends to try to leave by walking toward the audience instead of returning backstage? Isn't he showing up more lately?

First comment in over four years[edit]

The article is a time capsule, describing the show's heyday but lacking examples and perspective based on more recent year's episodes. 72.244.206.188 (talk) 05:56, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Confusing article[edit]

It is not as clear as it should be what was on the NBC show and what on the CBS one. In some places it’s not clear at all. I think each show deserves its own section. deisenbe (talk) 02:56, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Failing that, the article should be retitled to make it clear in the title that it is only about Late Show sketches. Anyone opposed? deisenbe (talk) 11:03, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
