Before PVRs, streaming, or YouTube, late-night television really was for night owls. Now, the recaps are posted to every social platform instantly. There are more late-night shows than ever, but back then, there were only a handful — and the desk was practically inherited. Fallon took over for Letterman, who took over for Carson.
So whether you’ve been watching late-night television since TVs had wooden box frames, or you’re discovering host clips for the first time on TikTok, it’s time to see how well you really know your late-night hosts. Here’s how it works: I’ll show you a photo, and you name the host. Simple as that. Let’s go!
How’d you do? Share your score in the comments, along with your all-time favourite late-night host of all time.
