Perhaps an audience participation/quiz?
I didn't pay much attention and moved on.
I didn't mind his late night show much, but always moved on when he had that skeleton character start.

It has an unconscionable number of commercials. Fuck you CBS. I'd accuse you of tarnishing your brand but it's hard to imagine it being any worse. There should be a non-CBS hosted version stripped of all the crap soon, but for now:
