Have We Reached Peak Hissy Fit With The Late Night Hosts?
HotAir ^ | January 31, 2017 | Duane Patterson

I admit it. I’m a night owl. Producing the Hugh Hewitt Show, and for decades well before that, going back to the Johnny Carson era, I’ve had a weak spot for late night television. I can look past the 10:1 ratio between jokes at Republicans’ expense versus Democrats’ expense. That bias, like virtually all mainstream media bias, is chronic and will not go away anytime soon. That said, last night, James Corden on CBS’ Late Late Show took it to a whole new level…by leaving the country in order to “protest” the Trump executive order on immigrant travel.

Last week, Corden and his Late Late Show crew pre-taped all of this week’s episodes, so there will be no mention, obviously, of the Trump executive order. But it will come as no shock that Corden, along with the other current roster of late night hosts (Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Myers, Stephen Colbert, Conan O’Brien, Trevor Noah, Samantha Bee) are all rabid left-wingers, and after their horror and disgust at the outcome of the election, have collectively decided to double down their withering comedic attack on President Trump. In their minds, that strategy worked well in the campaign, so why not double down?

Corden, however, took it one step further. He taped a cold open of him in his car, not saying a word, driving to LAX, boarding a plane, and leaving the country. His staff then put this up on the screen:

Trump’s DOJ needs to investigate this as possible voter fraud:

ITEM-—Journalists Dined at Top Clinton Staffers Homes
Days Before Hillary’s announcement of her candidacy

SOURCE: Wikileaks via Breitbart ^ | October 17 2016 | Ezra Dulis / FR Posted by grey_whiskers

ITEM..... Several top journalists and TV news anchors RSVPed “yes” to attend a private, off-the-record gathering at the New York home of Joel Benenson, the chief campaign strategist for Hillary Clinton, two days before she announced her candidacy in 2015, according to emails Wikileaks published from John Podesta’s accounts.

ITEM-—The guest list for an earlier event at the home of John Podesta was limited to reporters who were expected to cover Clinton on the campaign trail. —snip—


ITEM-—Wikileaks revealed earlier that late night talk host Stephen Colbert, and his team at Comedy Central, were making TV episodes at the request or order of the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) back in April of 2013.

So, viewers thought they were vote-smart because they’re informed by a comedian, yet same said comedian was doing Hillary’s bidding the whole time.

ITEM——I hope talk hosts Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Bill Maher, Seth Myers, Trevor Noah and Conan O’Brien have their lawyers on retainer and speed dial.

ITEM....because if the Trump Administration uncovers that the DNC and the Clintons were directly working with any member of media and their writing staff during the 2016 Presidential election, they could be charged with violating Federal election laws.

I really hate to say this, but it’s going to take another 911 on our soil to bring people back to their senses.

Virtually every single person on this forum knows the dangers of the current world order. When America leads from behind, there is only chaos.

Like unruly kids, the nations of the world want boundries and consistency in short, a strong America.

Trump needs to get threw this, and in the process once and for all get rid of these democrats that run our lives, and throw in a few of those worthless republicans also.

Send all these lefty hypocrites to Venezuela where they belong — and let them criticize the government there. See how long that lasts.

So he left to ‘protest’ the President’s executive Order before it was issued? What if we don’t let him back in?

Spicer should bring a straw man to his conferences. Point to it when the press starts spewing drivel like this. “You seem to be talking about him”.

Of all those hosts listed in the piece, I have to support Jimmy Kimmel as being the most even handed, least whacked out of the bunch.

I couldn’t pick James Coren out of a police line up, so my give-a-damn-o-meter doesn’t even register a response.

Question: Is Mr. Coren here legally? Is he from a country that we are having trouble properly vetting people? What exactly is Mr. Coren’s personal injury- is he being restricted from travel?

Further, will America somehow manage to survive if Mr. Coren doesn’t come back? Will late night TV become a distant memory and the quality of life for Americans forever diminished (gasp!).

Hope this leftist drama queen doesn’t ever come back. His racism and hatred is not needed here.

Watching Jimmy Fallon last night (mainly because he is just less bad that the others) Noticed the laugh Track was getting really annoying. It was obvious no one was laughing at his lame attacks that were supposed to be funny. Colbert had got to be the most disgusting POS to be given a late night (comedy) show. There is nothing funny about the excrement this man spews out!!!

Never even heard of this guy. So, I certainly won’t miss him.

Not only were the Clintons and their staff doing this, they did it with impunity, here, and abroad.

There’s plenty of evidence.

But WHO will investigate?

Another item: The Obamacare bill paid for TV SHOWS like Grey’s Anatomy to favorably mention Obamacare, etc.

Why would they stop at just funding one TV show if they could fund 100?

That needs to be stopped.

Couldn’t stand Letterman. Haven’t watched any since Leno quit and not much of him.

Need to bring back the late night movies which were on back in the 1950s, and disappeared in the 1970s. There are lots of great action packed movies WITH A PLOT from those days that are never seen anymore.
