If he were at the conventions, he'd just be getting the party-approved interviews anyway. This is reminiscent of the post-Super Bowl live show, which didn't benefit at all from being live. Yeah, there will be the ability to add a joke or two that's a response to something that happened during the convention that evening. But the conventions will once again be heavily on-message and easily-ignored, and the Late Show will be as tightly pre-produced. They can't leave large blocks of time open assuming there will be something interesting to react to, so being live will still be an unsatisfying gimmick. -- -- TV or Not TV ....
