JR has long since had a reputation for playing host to the "dreggs" on his show compared to the superstars that show up for Graham Norton. I haven't bothered watching for a while, but the last few times I watched it, he also had a habit of playing forced, not-that-funny games with his guests in a similar manner to The Tonight Show, where the guests usually come across like they're being dragged into playing against their will.

Everything about it just feels far more stale and less free-flowing than Graham's show, so I'm not surprised the numbers aren't all that good.
