Segment Title: “Late Late Live Tinder” — a game-style matchmaking segment inserted into the late-night talk show.

Format: A staff member or guest plays a live “Tinder”-style match game on-air, swiping right or left through a group of individuals introduced by the host. 

While not a standalone dating series, “Late Late Live Tinder” represented a playful hybrid of matchmaking and late-night entertainment—bringing dating dynamics into a mainstream talk-show context. Its inclusive casting and real-time audience participation helped normalize swiping culture and matchmaking among diverse adults, aligning pop culture dating tropes with late-night comedy. 

This segment illustrates how dating-show mechanics (swiping, instant selection, public reveal) have found their way into late-night formats and mainstream talk-shows. By embedding dating games into mass-audience programming, it contributed indirectly to making diverse relationship formats more familiar and approachable—laying groundwork for later full-scale queer-dating series.
