Online's own late night variety
The Tonight Show for the people who replaced television.
May 11, 2017 · 1:33 PM
This 2017 image establishes the provenance: the show's name, its proposed host, the actual room and the date.
Late-night television was built for an era when television, movies and records manufactured the stars.
That monopoly is over.
Today, a creator can build a global audience, launch a company, make a film, break a record or shape culture without waiting for traditional media to decide they matter.
A familiar format.
A whole new cultural force.
A professional director delivers the primary show. At the same time, viewers can leave the director's feed and choose among cameras embedded throughout LADC Studios — deciding where to look while the show is live.
After the formal sign-off, the Online Tonight set becomes an after-party. Guests, creators, performers and invited audience mingle, dance, make content and keep the night moving.
The embedded camera network stays live. Viewers choose where to be in the room.
Private booths activate exclusively after hours, allowing people inside the party to interact directly with viewers.
A virtual version of the venue lets viewers explore the party as avatars.
The audience chooses where the night goes next.
Fame no longer requires permission.
Neither does Online Tonight.
Guests announce appearances. Live-stream their own POV. Share moments and clips back into their communities.
The full-night experience.
Arrives with an audience — and a distribution channel.
Guests can stream their own POV — while viewers can also choose among cameras embedded throughout the studio.
Every interview, performance and collision can travel again.
Many audiences promote one show from many angles.
A promotional architecture terrestrial late night never had.
