Jimmy Fallon and hisstaff embark on the high-wire act of two live shows following the first Democratic presidential primary debates Wednesday and Thursday.
Fallon and his time-slot competitor Colbert have been in a tight ratings race of late. While Colbert long ago surpassed Fallon among total viewers. But Colbert has more recently become competitive among the 18-49 demographic coveted by television advertisers, though Fallon edged out Colbert in the demo for the week ending June 21. But Colbert, who is deeply steeped in political satire, has enjoyed the momentum in the late-night race.
The volatile and breakneck pace of the political conversation — when news seemingly happens around the clock — has thrown many late nights shows for a loop. Scrapping or adjusting monologues right before shows begin taping is common. For Fallon and thestaff, the seed of the idea to go live after the first Democratic debates — which will air on NBC — was first germinated around this year’s State of the Union address.
