I grew up with late night talk shows, but sorry Fallon, Colbert, and Kimmel, but it seems the late night talk show is going the way of the buggy whip, especially with their radical leftist bent. The marketplace decides.

Of course he doesn’t like it. Gutfeld gets all the attention and these liberal hacks hate it.

So the fact that Colbert’s show loses MILLIONS of dollars every year has nothing to do with it?

Compared to what Johnny Carson and to a lesser extent Letterman (whom I didn’t care for) produced year after year they don’t even have the right to be compared to them.

Most people aren’t concerned with Fallon’s likes and dislikes

I haven’t watched a minute of the late-night clowns in years.

Jimmy Jim Jim doesn’t like it one bit... but he knows he’s king of the hill... albeit with small stones.

The young people don’t watch late night TV anymore. Particularly because it isn’t entertaining.

These guys need to go get a job.

Jimmy doesn’t like the thought of being held responsible for creating a product that can’t ever cover it’s own cost.

I did a quick search and Fallon has 15 full time staff.

Colbert has 200 (and is losing $40-$50 million a year).

And Colbert will be on until May 2026, so he wasn’t so much fired as his contract wasn’t renewed.

I see the other 4 night comedy hosts visited Colbert’s show in a show of support. There is no profitable market for the late night “comedy” industry anymore With the competition from the new media tech of the internet and other technologies, they are all losing money big time. These 4 guys visiting Colbert is like a buggy whip manufacturers convention

Like most current late night hosts, Fallon takes himself way too seriously. He, Kimmel and Colbert see themselves as some strange order of High Priests, keepers of the liberal culture flame. That flame has just about run out of gas.
