He could do standard monologues or character-driven ones like his one-man shows to open the show. He's quick-witted enough to save boring guests but can also play the background and won't force himself into the spotlight when another guest is on a role (I think this is one problem with George Lopez at a host). I also think he's genuinely and intellectually curious enough that he could bring out the best in interviews and maybe go a little deeper than the typical "What did you publicist tell us to talk about?" Q & A's that litter today's late night landscape.

If you're going for a standard late night talk show, I think Shawn Wayans was pretty much born to do it. Likable and funny enough.

Normally, I don't think you want the funniest guys spending their time on a late night show. Chappelle would be wasted in that format. It would be like having a Larry David talk show; if you got someone on their level and watched them have a conversation, it could be absolutely hilarious. But most of the time they'd just be trying to prop up guests with nothing to offer.
