Late night comedy with Seth M. and Stephen C.; plus golden globe announcements

Today is Super Bowl 55, and G. Ripley's plan is to get out of the house. The Super Bowl is not one of my events to watch on CBS this year. Don't tell Stephen Colbert that statement. Stephen Colbert and CBS are doing a special 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' after tonight's last nfl game. The show might be on at 11 pm EST, or another time. Stephen Colbert has turned into my favorite late night comedy show host, over the past 4 years. Next, Colbert started doing the Late Show in October 2015 when David Letterman ended his tenure at CBS. Colbert is happily married, and has three kids. His wife shows up to his shows this year, as there is no audience in the bleachers or studio at radio city music hall/ed sullivan theater in new york city. His wife is Evelyn McGee, and he calls her Evie. They have been married for more than 20 years, which is a beautiful friendship. Unfortunately, Colbert was diagnosed with positional vertigo in October 2020. In contrast, Seth Meyers is my favorite NBC late night talk show host. He used to be on SNL (saturday night live) on NBC; and he is a Northwestern University graduate. Seth Meyers has done hosting duties for the past 7 years on SNL. He is a longer tenured host then Stephen, but Colbert is funnier in my opinion. Meyers has done his late night tv show, without an audience also. Meyers did some of his shows from his home residence in early to mid-2020. In terms of nbc hosts, Jay Leno was my favorite until he retired. Jay Leno is a comedian, that I saw in 2016 in Scottsdale. His performance was super funny, at Talking Stick Resort in Arizona. Jay Leno and David Letterman used to compete, for the best talk show host in the late 1990s and early 2000s decades. Letterman was not my cup of tea, but his top 10 lists were on point always. Jay Leno has his own car show, on CNBC these days. In these two final paragraphs, G. Ripley will discuss Golden Globe nominations for the 2021 show on NBC on February 28, 2021. NBC's comedic female duo of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler will host the show, for the fourth time. 'Mank' received six golden globe nominations, and this movie is incredibly cool in black and white. Amanda Seyfried is my pick to win the best supporting actress golden globe, as she got a nomination for her superb acting in 'Mank.' Leslie Odom Jr. is my pick to win best supporting actor golden globe, as he did a splendid job in 'One night in miami' movie. In the best director category, three women were nominated for their movies. The women are Emerald Fennell (promsing young woman); Regina King (one night in miami); and Chloe Zhao (nomadland). In closing, the show is most likely not going to have an audience at beverly hilton hotel. The show is broadcasted by NBC, and it is in beverly hills, CA. With the covid-19 global pandemic, many events are happening sans audience. Hope 'Mank' wins 2-3 awards; and it would be good to see 3-4 movies win an award on February 28. Until this event, there are not many upcoming blockbusters happening. Sadly, the 'No time to die' movie is pushed forward to October 2021 as the release date. Movie Studios are scrambling, on how to make a profit this year. It's a sad set of circumstances.
