We’ll see a different side of Stephen Colbert, making his debut as host of CBS’s The Late Show tonight. Gone is the blowhard he portrayed on The Colbert Report for ten years, and that suits Colbert just fine. “I’m not just a pundit, I’m a comedian,” said the host on CBS Sunday Morning. “It is, I guess, flattering that people thought I was an actual pundit or a newsman…but it’s really nice to not have to pretend it anymore.”
With the fall season upon, what’s in the pipeline? “This year, I’d say the most obvious trend is the re-boots of famous film and TV titles,” David Madden, president, entertainment at Fox Broadcasting Company tells Cynopsis. “In development, there are, similar to last year, some big movie titles floating around – Training Day, Galaxy Quest, Time After Time, and Lethal Weapon coming our way – as well as more reinventions of classic characters like Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn, or the Brides of Dracula.”But, “Trends in development are cyclical,” adds Madden. “One year you’ll see a lot of female comedies, and two years later it’ll be male action dramas – so I don’t put too much stake in them.”
TBS canceled reality competition King of the Nerds, six months after the end of season three. Host Curtis Armstrong tweeted the news on Friday.
TV Everywhere may have reached “a tipping point where to get to the next level it needs to be simpler to sign in,” (amen) said Tamara Gaffney, principal analyst for Adobe Digital Index. The company’s U.S. Digital Video Benchmark report found that while 12.7 percent of pay-TV customers watched TVE on IP devices in 2Q15, up 19 percent year-over-year, that’s 4 percent down from 1Q15. Top device for TVE use in the quarter: iPad.
What subscribers of Showtime’s two-month-old streaming-only service are electing watch is “fascinating,” Showtime Networks president David Nevins tells Adweek. “As people are discovering Showtime, a lot of them just want to see what’s on the livestreaming, so they’re watching it there,” said Nevins, who adds early results for the $10.99/month offering are promising. “David came to the company five years ago, and in his first week on the job, he asked questions that you would know the answer to if you actually had a direct relationship with your subscribers,” said Showtime chairman and CEO Matthew Blank. “Now we’re going to be able to answer those questions a lot better for ourselves.”
