Busy Tonight (E!) is a terrific new late-night program featuring vibrant/inquisitive talk-show host Busy Phillips who likes inviting a cross-section of media-personalities for engaging and unwinding (and somewhat sexy!) late night TV.
Busy Tonight has featured intelligent guests like Mindy Kaling and superstars like Julia Roberts. The format is a nice living-room style conversational approach to media-lifestyle interviews. Busy herself likes to dress in vibrant clothing, sometimes Bohemian, sometimes NY-chic, and she always offers some nice energy for late-night TV viewers who just want a relaxing jolt of juice.
In this new arena of countless late-night programs/hosts, which varies greatly from yesteryear's godly titans/standards like Carson, Leno, and Letterman, Busy Tonight presents a nice alternative to those surfing through channels, shifting constantly, between new age talkative-crazies such as Stephen Colbert, Carson Daly, Seth Myers, Samantha Bee, Jimmy Fallon, and Jimmy Kimmel.
Busy Phillips herself may arguably be the sexiest late-night talk-show host since Chelsea Handler (Chelsea Lately).
I think Julia Roberts appeared on Busy's show since it's generally vibrant and fun for the senses...
I give this new age program a nice and generous 5/5 stars!
What do you think?

Here, we see Busy hosting the media-icon Tina Fey of SNL fame.
Busy likes to dress casually and sensually, and this is a terrific bridge between the Playboy crowd and the Craig Killborn crowd (remember him?).
I like that Busy invited John Stamos, who's been linked to Full House, Rebecca Romijn, and Lori Loughlin (Hallmark Channel).
Busy is here with Mindy Kaling who's been on her own series as well as the film Ocean's 8. I actually went to Dartmouth (Ivy League) with Mindy, though we never met socially (alas!).
Busy Phillips is both casual and sexy which makes her a lot like Arsenio Hall I think, but for the more cosmo-crowd.
She doesn't mind people knowing about her, which makes her a terrific conversation-compatriot for celebrities also looking to unwind on TV.
Busy is also intelligent and witty, which offers Busy Tonight a nice aura of modernism-chic.
Just imagine Busy hosting an Internet-blogging 'self-proclaimed vigilante' who thinks he's the 'cure' to anti-capitalism terrorism. Let's suppose this fellow's name is Ajay Satan, and he blogs about pornography and censorship in the age of media, comparing old world 'aphrodisiac-deities' like Medusa to new age feminism-scandalous comic book characters like Harley Quinn and Dark Phoenix. You can just imagine Busy asking such a person a question like, "Is Internet-grammar actually democratic and upscale?" and Ajay replying, "Hey, I don't spend the time dressing like this for no apparent reason, Busy!"
I'm a big fan of comic books and liberal chatter in media/Internet/TV, so it's easy likening Busy Phillips to a fun/colorful comic book superheroine, which adds to the comments by various TV-critics that Busy has offered late-night TV something that no one else has done since Arsenio Hall --- pedestrian seltzer of high-quality and refined sensuality!
Remember the days of Little Orphan Annie and The Today Show, when Quiz Show scandals were tempered by the knowledge that high-brow intellectuals wanted to celebrate the TV-aesthetics of 'celebrity-consciousness'? Busy Tonight is a nice feather on that aesthetics-wheel I think. This is good wholesome fun, my fellow Americans.
E! has given us strange/offbeat programs, and if you're a fan of the modern Pretty Woman, Wild Palms, Arsenio, or Ricki Lake 'aesthetic,' then Busy Tonight will entreat your pedestrian interests in talk-show/entertainment ornaments. Good stuff...
