IT was a typical week for late-night television: On NBC's Tonight show, host Jimmy Fallon played a catchphrase guessing game with Modern Family star Sofia Vergara, and re-enacted the music video for the 1990 rock ballad More Than Words. On ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live, Jimmy Kimmel watched a hidden camera to see how Los Angeles pedestrians would react to a burrito dangled above Hollywood Boulevard. And on CBS' Late Late Show, James Corden asked pizzeria customers to choose between the pies that they had ordered and the contents of a mystery box.
Elsewhere, on CBS' Late Show, David Letterman was interviewing US President Barack Obama - a ruminative, sometimes funny, casual conversation between two men who seemed almost like peers, joking about how they might share a game of dominoes after they retire.
