Somehow George Clooney, who’s been in the public eye for over thirty years (and has appeared on countless talk shows), hasn’t once visited NBC’s Late Night franchise—not through the tenures of Conan O’Brien, Jimmy Fallon, or Seth Meyers. Meyers was set to break that streak when it was announced last week that Clooney would be guesting on Late Night this Monday night, but it turns out he won’t be appearing tonight after all.

The tenth anniversary of David Letterman‘s final network broadcast is still nearly three weeks away, but Letterman archivist Don Giller is getting a jump on the commemorations as only he can—with a painstakingly compiled new 33-minute video. Titled “The Letterman Faces Project, Part 2,” the new video presents 4,214 screenshots of Letterman—one from each episode of Late Show with David Letterman, which aired from August 30th, 1993 through May 20th, 2015.

With Blake Lively making her first talk show appearance since last summer on Late Night with Seth Meyers Thursday night, many wondered: Would she or wouldn’t she? That is, would she or wouldn’t she discuss her very public legal battle with Justin Baldoni? The answer: While it didn’t go entirely unmentioned, Lively only addressed what she termed “an intense year” in very general terms, and Seth Meyers—in what appeared to be a carefully orchestrated back and forth—did not press her for more.
