After my foray through the new late night shows, one thing is pretty clear: it's not as easy as it looks.
I don't mean watching them (although that would apply), I mean hosting them. I should have appreciated Johnny Carson more. Letterman, and yes, even Leno -- you guys rock. Arsenio, kudos.
After having Mo'Nique yell at me for an hour (I've tuned in briefly again and either because of exhaustion or consult, she has gotten quieter) and seeing Wanda Sykes, start out pretty good and only to become an inconsistent muddle, I moved on, with high hopes, to "Lopez Tonight," with standup/actor George Lopez.
I think I laughed once.
Although I give CNN credit for taking on race, a topic journalism is notoriously bad at exploring, I wasn't that impressed with the results of Soledad O'Brien's reporting in "Black in America," parts one or two.
