A real comedian is not a barking moonbat on a soapbox. He knows his job is to entertain us, not to install our political opinions. The great Johnny Carson reminds us of better times for late night television: **VIDEO ON LINK**

Ringo Starr once said he does not discuss politics. That way, Ringo said, everyone thinks I agree with them.
Smart guy, that Ringo.
My favorite Ringo line:
Ringo are you a Mod or a Rocker?
I’m a Mocker!
Ironically, Gutfeld! is mostly political.
“Elvis had it figured out, too.”
Another one who has it figured out is Dolly Parton. She has never given a hint about political leanings and has said she never will. Doesn’t make sense to make half the audience mad.
Actually there are a few channels that are re-running Carson every night.
Coalbutt simply was no longer effective, not just in cost per sway, but simply no longer effective. he became a liability.
Making jokes about rats is definitely fertile ground.
I’m looking forward not to seeing his smug little snarky face anymore. Adios
He has become my favorite Beatle.
“...somebody said it would be cheaper to run old movie or Carson reruns”
Even with ownership/copyright issues, no question Carson reruns would draw record numbers of viewers. Opening monologues alone would create ratings numbers that would eliminate potential competition. Then there are the guests & interviews....
Colbert was just a manifestation of our controlled, woke, deep-state media.
He’s no better or worse than the propaganda evening news, the mindless game shows, the simplistic and emotive day-time TV, the stilted and controlled awards shows, etc...
As Mao said (I paraphrase) - the people can have music, art, theater, entertainment of all kinds, but it must always serve politics and the revolution.
Colbert became a caricature. So he was not an effective propagandist.
Our crappy cable TV company takes it even further - they fill their hundreds of channels with stuff like Women's college basketball, high school football, Division III college lacrosse, foreign language interview shows.
I imagine such programing is nearly free, yet they can claim to offer hundreds of channels.
I read somewhere long ago that Esther Rolle — who played the mom in the hit TV sitcom Good Times — was unhappy with the program because she thought it should be used to send "positive messages" to it's A-A viewers.
She was aware that Norman Lear, the show's creator and executive producer, was a progressive liberal, and she was frustrated that he consistently declined to take the show in the direction she wanted.
Doesn't matter who you are at times like these. I can be a cranky pain in the ass but this isn't a time for partnership now. We're Americans and our fellows Americans need help
Used to love Richard Dawson on Family Feud.
For years now its that useless dei idiot
Thank god for the clicker
Coldbeer’s audience is normally drunker than hell or high on drugs. I’m sure they can find something else to do. Like study or something weird like that. Okay maybe make some riot signs idolizing illegal aliens and muzzie terrorists.
I like Dawson too. With that ever so genteel biting English humor
His ever present deck of cards and some unsuspecting German guard with that lovable Cockney accent; "Ey O Schultzie, like ta have a go?'' And Werner Kempler "HOGAN!!!
Hollywood has always been leftist. When tv came along they jumped in and it was controlled by leftists. They just were more clever at hiding it because they did not think they had the majority...yet. The idea was to keep the propaganda machine going until they did. They just kept the mask on.
They came out of the closet recently because they thought they finally gained the majority, the power.
Ever see the movie, Giant? The message is clear. The whites who are rich oil barons in Texas are evil racists ‘bad’ and the poor workers, the ‘hispanics’ are ‘good’. Bick is the oil baron, which is a secret wink to the knowing in Hollywood, Bick is played by Rock Hudson, homosexual and very much with the Hollywood agenda. He is played as hating the hispanics who work for him and so an ‘evil white racist’.
The point of the story is who does the oil baron leave his legacy to? A Texas ranch, the oil, the money, the power? Bick’s son Jordy does’t want to run the ranch and wants to become a doctor. He becomes a doctor and marries a Mexican-American girl named Juana. They have two sons one with blue eyes one with brown. Bick’s grandchildren, and to his dismay one looks as he says in the film, ‘like a wetback’. With no other choice these are the ones to whom the oil baron’s legacy goes to.
The last scene ends with a pair of extreme closeups - first on the blue eyes of Judy’s son, (America) but then the camera lingers on the brown eyes of Jordy’s son, (Mexico). L ingers making the point of who the legacy is going to.
The message of the film to me is clear. America will eventuall go to the hispanics. Hollywood had this plan way back as early at least as this film which was made in 1947.
