As you can see, it’s pretty crowded, and I didn’t even include the occasional late night show (Jay or Conan or Jon).
So on to the exact definition. Well, I don’t have one. I stumbled upon this article, and then I stopped. It’s a pretty interesting read, and an excerpt goes like this:

Well, that satisfied my curiosity. Off to watch some more TV it is.
