The Late Night Distemper of Our Times - WFMU's Beware of the Blog

The Late Night Distemper of Our Times - WFMU's Beware of the Blog: "It's a maxim and a cliche that history repeats itself. Late night talk shows have been the victims of literal temper and metaphorical distemper for sixty years. Before the Conan quagmire, The Jay Leno Show disaster and even before David Letterman put his penis directly into a vagina, there was no shortage of late night tabloid fodder. Nor was there any lack of infuriating TV executive fatuousness."

Great overview of the history of late night network foolishness.
