NETWORK TALK SHOWS were established in part by the format of NBC’s Tonight Show, which debuted in 1954. The Tonight Show continues to air on NBC with host Jimmy Fallon, but it faces more competition than it did in its earlier incarnations; in addition to the CBS Late Show (now featuring Stephen Colbert) and ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! (pictured below), there are a variety of cable talk and fake news shows, like the TBS talk show Conan, featuring former Tonight Show host Conan O’Brien, and Comedy Central’s long-running Daily Show.
