Late Night Talk Shows
For many years, the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson had the best following among late night talk shows, and so it set the standard for the genre. Johnny would interview celebrities, make humorous comments on current controversies and news stories, and perhaps have a singer or comedian do an act, with frequent commercials. Most present-day programs of this sort follow a similar format.
