What makes a great late-night talk show host?
Probably the most important thing on any of these shows is having a star with a very, very definable point of view, because everything stems from that point of view. The way the set looks on a show, the way music is booked on a show, the type of music that's on a show, the tone of the comedy, and the chairs that they're sitting on are other noteworthy factors. On a good show, everything is a reflection of the likes and dislikes and the point of view of the star. They're star driven shows.
