I think if the networks hired a less partisan host, people would still watch. Jay Leno is a public Democrat but was fair to his guest, and pretty funny. I enjoyed watching him.
It’s difficult to succeed when you alienate 1/2 to 3/5s of the population right off the bat
He's an old school Democrat. In other words, he's a dinosaur.
It's possible for Jimmy Fallon to be more like Jay Leno. But his bosses are not letting him do that. If they want him to make Trump jokes, then that's what he'll do.
It’s amazing to watch the media crying about a show that costs ten’s of millions of dollars with awful ratings get cancelled
Yep. We on the Right knew Carson and Leno were liberals. The difference is they were fair. They tried to be entertaining and funny and generally succeeded in doing so. They didn’t view it as their mission to preach politics all night every night. Thus they got good ratings and the hacks that followed did not.
