“We look at each show as an hour and we go right with the hiss Today's show will be something different to yesterday's show. And then we try and think, well, what will be the moments that people will find? And how can we package them and place them in a manner that people will search them out and share them on their... Phones, you know, and it's Ultimately, the core of it has to be good. At the core of it, it doesn't matter how much you brand something, how much you package that, how much you try and put something in front of people. The old adage is the same if a film's good. If a song's good, a song's, you know,”

“Well, it's a tough one, that because ultimately we look at our show as we launch it at 12.30 every night. But it's available 24 hours a day”

“He wished he'd have sort of jumped both feet in. So, when you were conceiving of the show, thinking of it like that, where you see blurred lines, how do you then create? Do you deconstruct the show and then reconstruct it or do you think of it in pieces? Or what's”

“100%, but I mean, he felt like he wished he'd have sort of jumped both feet in as opposed to just maybe dipping their toes in the water.”

“Yeah, it felt like that. I mean, David Letterman himself said that when he was retiring, he did lots of interviews and he said that his regret was not embracing it at the time. He says in hindsight, he realizes that that was something that. 12 3”

“Well, yeah, I'm very successfully because the trick is, and what I was saying was nothing really new. It just hadn't really existed on CBS before. It's not that I was saying the wheel in any way. Oh, the internet, the kids of it. On that particular network.”

“The way I see it is content is content and it's not a good show. It will be a good show on TV. It will be a good show on your phone. It will be a good show on your laptop. And I don't sort of... Differentiate between the platforms they're on”

“I don't see a divide between my phone, my computer screen, and my television. Like at best, at very best, it's a blurred line, you know, right?”

“With music. I was very reticent to do it, is the truth. I really wasn't sure whether it was the right thing to do, but I just sort of came to the conclusion that I'd much rather regret doing something than not doing something. And as far as being an internet person, I sort of don't see a huge divide between... As”

“There's a talk show from 11:30 till 12.30, and then she'll have another talk show from 12.30 till 1.30. Like it's got to reach, it's got to try to find a different audience, an audience that perhaps don't watch network television anymore. Not because the content's not right, just because they consume their content in different ways.”

“That's right. So I was going to play that role on Broadway, which I was, of course, very much looking forward to. And CBS had asked if I'd write a show for them, and I had said no, and I'd gone to Les and the then president Nina Tasler to sort of explain why. And we got talking about late night, and I told them how incredible I thought Stephen Colbert's appointment was, how swiftly they dealt with it, how thought it was very classy the way they dealt with it.

“And now I've done a couple of things that weren't very good, and then I wrote another show for the BBC called The Wrong Mans, which was also part financed by Hulu. And then I went back to New York to do a play called One Man, Two Governance, which is a big slapstick farce. And unbelievable to me, one day a man called Les Munvez, who is the CEO of CBS, came to see that play. And he tells this story much better than I, so it feels a bit indulgent if I tell it. He saw the play and went home and started sort of, I think, googling me and said, How should we get this guy? On our network, and I shot a film called Into the Woods, and I was writing a new show for HBO, and I was going to go back to New York and do a musical called A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.”

“And ended up on BBC One. We started with that 500,000 viewers. And when we ended it three seasons later, we had like 14 million, which in the United Kingdom is so everybody. It's about one in three, I think. Right. So it was a super hit”

“I do it all the time. They like it. It's like Stockholm syndrome and Silicon Valley. You know what I mean? Like, I just abuse them and that works for all of us. Um well, it's I mean I'm an actor first and foremost and had worked in the UK and had done a few Plays and a couple of films I work with directors like Mike Lee and Shane Meadows and people like that Worked at the National Theatre and done a play in New York called The History Boys, which did very well. And then I wrote a sitcom called Gavin and Stacey for the BBC. Which to everybody's surprise started on a very small digital channel called BBC Three.”
