John Michael Higgins as David Letterman in 'The Late Shift'
The Big Picture Today, late-night talk shows are practically indistinguishable from the glutton of content that spreads on social media, but during its heyday, it was a cultural touchstone. People didn't just consume isolated clips of a host's monologue or interview with a celebrity, they finished their nights watching them live.

'The Late Shift' is a Docu-Dramedy With Limited Artistic Ambition The Late Shift, based on the book of the same name by Bill Carter, is a docu-drama to the bone. It recalls the story from point A to point B and shows no interest in subverting narrative tendencies. The straightforward approach to the narrative may force viewers to consider the validity of the film's existence as a narrative feature rather than a documentary.
'The Late Shift' Represents a Period When Late-Night Television Meant Everything In addition to the performances of the various NBC suits indulging in the stereotypes of business executives as corporate shills, John Michael Higgins and Daniel Roebuck are resigned to sheer impersonation work. Higgins captures the essence of Letterman's punk-rock rebellion as a late-night host, as well as his nervy sardonic wit that he brought to television for over 30 years.
