You know what's NOT up for debate? "It's Up For Debate: An Evening with Charlie Rose Presented by Polymarket, featuring Andrew Yang & Marjorie Taylor Green" would be the worst possible first-date activity ever. And I say that as someone who was once taken on a date to see William F. Buckley Jr.

As someone who's been following the late night TV scene since the 90s, I find the fact that Fallon will most likely be the last host standing to be a bummer. This article is a bit hyperbolic, but an interesting read nevertheless. www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-ban...
