It's probably driven by who HE wants to talk to. I'd guess that Joni stated that she did not want to go to the chair and chat.

Except for Led Zeppelin and Pete Townshendt, what other musicians has he interviewed? The music is always the very last act. Then Dave says, "Thanks, that was great. G'night everybody." Thank God for The World Cafe.

The musical guest performs last, the host comes out and thanks them and then the show is over. Unless, of course, you're Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon is the host. Then you get to be the show. Late night talk shows aren't really 'talk shows' anymore. Of course, the guests have always come on to plug something - a movie, a book, a new TV show or whatever. But now it all seems scripted, especially if the guest is a comedian. The host is the straight man, feeding the guest the set ups for the punch lines. There seems to be very little real conversation anymore. I'm just an old fogey, missing the days of Johnny Carson, I guess. I do remember really enjoying seeing Joni interact with Rosie O'Donnell. The two of them really seemed to enjoy being a little silly together.
