Tragically, comedy is devolving right along with popular culture. I could say that comedy today is a joke but then people would think I was trying to be funny.

Just tell it like it is, comedy today is NO joke.
Many years ago I read a line that went something like "humor in America, before humor soured into wit." Whenever I witness the mirthless laugh of a hyperventilating lefty ridiculing some earnest, good-souled individual who has often done nothing more than commit the sin of not agreeing with them - or the worst sin of all in pop culture: being unattractive - I recall that line.
Having grown up in a house where my dad watched late-night TV as far back back as Steve Allen (whom I somehow vaguely recall, though my curfew was at 9 o'clock), I have tried to watch various offerings since Johnny Carson left the stage; none of them have been worth even the simple effort to stay up after a day's work.
