Throwing a $200,000 Birthday Party

I think it's as interesting as like, I don't think I'm gonna say anything that people already don't know, but like, I don't think late night is what it used to be, obviously. That's just because it's just, there's just so many mediums to consume things. Like, I think our new late night people is Jake Shane. I think it's Alex Cooper. I think it's, uh, I don't know what the other people are, but I think it's, I think there's just so many niches and I think there's so many, right? Like, I don't think it's Jimmy. I think he's still great, but like, even when— even, even 8 years ago when late night was a thing, like, I didn't love it for the interviews. I always said this. I said late night's important because it's like you need the mothership, and that's CBS or ABC, and that gives you your credibility. You need that. But where people actually consume it is on YouTube, right? It's been like that for a while. Yeah, and now it's getting to the point where now the influencers are trying— not influence— now that influencers are starting to be seen as more of a useful tool for mainstream media, now it's all leveling out. Now you don't need the CBSs and the ABCs for that credibility. Now you just need 3, 4 good episodes under your belt and people to take you seriously. That's all you need now. Now, now I don't think like I don't think now I get a call from ABC, obviously I'd still jump on it. Fuck yeah, I wanna be behind that desk. It's just like a dream. But I don't think, I think I am the last, maybe the last age group that aspires to be behind Jimmy Fallon's chair.
