“The Evolution Of Late Night Is Here”: Ben Gleib Talks Launching World’s First YouTube-Native Late-Night Talk Show From His House – Comedy Means Business Podcast
With late night at a crossroads, Ben Gleib is forging a new path.
On May 28, just a week after the permanent shuttering of The Late Show, Gleib is set to launch Good Night with Ben Gleib, the world’s first late-night talk show built specifically for YouTube.
It’s a bet rooted in the belief that late night as a format is as vital as ever — even if the infrastructure that gave rise to it is crumbling.
Between exorbitant production costs and the continual erosion of linear television audiences, traditional late-night talk shows have been under mounting pressure for years, increasingly consumed via short-form clips scattered across social media rather than live and in full. In the last year, growing political and corporate pressures surrounding both The Late Show and Jimmy Kimmel Live! have only intensified questions around the long-term sustainability of the format on broadcast television.
