- Ben Gleib launches "Good Night with Ben Gleib", the first YouTube‑exclusive late‑night talk show, premiering May 28, 2024.
- Stewart Bailey serves as showrunner, bringing his Emmy‑winning experience from The Daily Show and NBC’s Last Call.
- Keith Harris is the band leader and musical director, known for his work with the Black Eyed Peas.
- YouTube will stream the show on Gleib’s Good Night channel, which has 2.9M+ subscribers, featuring a live studio audience and a wall of screens for real‑time global reactions.
- CBS is winding down its decades‑long late‑night franchise, reflecting the broader decline of linear‑TV late‑night programming.
Why it matters: YouTube gains a flagship late‑night series, tapping its 2.9M+ subscriber base, while broadcast networks lose a long‑standing franchise, accelerating the shift of ad dollars to digital platforms.
