Summary
A legendary late-night talk show host, facing declining ratings and accusations of being a woman who hates women, hires her first female staff writer in a desperate attempt to refresh her aging writers' room. The unlikely pairing of the polished veteran and the earnest newcomer forces both to confront their blind spots as they fight to save the show.
Late Night (2019) is a film IMDb files under the comedy and drama genres. Its comedy subtype is Dramedy.
The cohort it is ranked inside is 2010s films — 13,059 of them. 288 IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 296 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 383 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Late Night lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2010s (13,059 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 288.
