Into music

The intro music sounds like a sped-up version of "Here I Come" by the Roots without lyrics. Anyone else agree / should this be noted somewhere?--Bob (talk) 03:55, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Try to find a source for that first. DP76764 (Talk) 04:22, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Black Thought even says "Here I Come" right as Jimmy comes out from the curtains. It's the song. I don't know where there would be a source for that, but anyone who has heard the song and the intro music would know it's the same.--Bob (talk) 21:02, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Still need a source, unfortunately (see: WP:V). Perhaps in the credits of the show? DP76764 (Talk) 21:40, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Episode List

There was an episode list and then it got deleted. The excuse was "(rv. - we generally don't do episode lists for shows with (potentially) thousands of episodes)". Well, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Daily_Show and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Colbert_Report both have episode lists and The Daily Show already has a over a thousand episodes and The Colbert Report, at the rate it is going, will too. So I suggest we have one for Jimmy Fallon (or just bring back the one that got deleted) and we should start now instead of later so it is easy to keep track of everything. --DidYouLoseASock (talk) 05:44, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Beware of WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. $0.02 DP76764 (Talk) 05:52, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A couple of thoughts here... first off, the list page was redirected rather than deleted. Second, there are no similar pages for the show's predecessors, and we don't appear to do lists for those sort of shows. (Why would we, for that matter?) --Ckatz^chat_spy 05:59, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral The reverter and revertee both make good points. On the one hand, talk shows are usually pretty repetitive: the monologues are usually just jokes about current events and the news (and may seem dated or not make sense when read or watched several years later), the skits are done on a loop, and many guests appear dozens of times and have nothing interesting to talk about, they are just there to plug their movie / show / book, etc.

On the other hand, since talk shows are not released on DVD's like fictional shows are, if one wanted to find a clip of an extremely memorable moment (such as the original Horny Manatee skit on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, or the time Kid Rock appeared on Headlines on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in the mid-1990's when he was still a relatively unknown and obscure artist) knowing the date of the original airing would be extremely helpful to the searcher, who would potentially be more successful in finding exactly what they were looking for.TomCat4680 (talk) 06:08, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

DP76764, please read WP:JUSTA.TomCat4680 (talk) 08:18, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously I was not offering an argument in either direction (nor was it in regards to a deletion discussion). DP76764 (Talk) 15:38, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

On the other hand, the episode guide contained only a date and a list of guests; that would not help you determine anything about what sketches were contained in that episode, nor would it be feasable to do so. I think the main point is that the episode guide is ALREADY existant on the show's website with the same info. Wikipedia is not a mirror for already-existant lists. Long story short though, the article already failed AFD, meaning this is not the place to argue the articles merit again. TheHYPO (talk) 07:57, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A separate article Sketches from Late Night with Jimmy Fallon was created for that purpose. Oh and BTW, almost every article on Wiki is duplicated info from other websites. That what happens with a user created website. So under that rule, every article on the entire Wiki should be AFD. TomCat4680 (talk) 08:42, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Every article dupicates info, but if the ENTIRE article is a duplication of ONE site, then it's a mirror; the point is to synthesise info from many sites and sources into a cohesive encyclopedic article. Not mirror an episode list page from the show's site. TheHYPO (talk) 21:41, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Late Night

Shouldn't an overview article, say Late Night (NBC) be created to overview the three incarnations, like exists for The Tonight Show ? 70.29.208.129 (talk) 04:01, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I opened this page to ask the same question. There needs to be an overall page for the "Late Night" show as a whole.--174.70.113.210 (talk) 14:03, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The sexual discrimination case

Is it really necessary for this to have it's own sub-heading? That case clearly had nothing behind it since all news of it just completely disappeared in an instant, we never heard of it again apart from the initial story breaking. It doesn't seem like a huge issue to me and like a waste of space. Can't it just be merged into everything else? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.172.186.26 (talk) 11:37, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
