I really can’t tell Kimmel and Fallon apart. They look they same, sound the same, and both are named Jimmy

I have watched them both, and both present low IQ, knee-jerk, leftist-themed crap. Awfully UN-funny.

How are they doing? The free market should solve the problem. These idiots are losing 50% of potential viewers. Doubling their viewers should be a compelling business justification for them.

Then again, they are hardcore leftists. Who knows, maybe we are paying for them out of our taxes like PBS and NPR. Unlikely but you never know.

Isn’t Jimmy Fallon the one who got in trouble for being too nice to trump?

I wonder if he really feels that way, or it’s just an excuse. He thought he’d get more viewers this way. Because it’s one thing to have the courage of your convictions, but it’s another thing to throw away a huge chance like having a late night show.

Viewers have options. Watch his show and bear it, turn the TV off or switch to other late night hosts like Gutfeld.

Ah the free market system. It wins if it is truly a free market.

Just because they were beat in the ratings doesn’t mean the show is worthless. He is still bringing a million plus viewers.

Leftists can be zealots and cheating or stealing is okay if it is for “the good.”

Advertisers pay by the ratings in their key demographics.

If ratings fall, so does the price of advertising...............

But if I were a business person, I would ask “what about those millions of viewers that you are missing out on.” It means more $. I am sure that the sponsors would be willing to pay more if the number of viewers doubled.

Basic business — making more money — is a good thing.

Fallon is the most wrong man for the right job ever.

Yup.

Speaking of which, did you see this last night?

Elon Musk Confirms — Twitter employees were secretly selling Bluechecks for $15,000 each….

How are they doing? The free market should solve the problem.

Its state-directed, corporate-oligarch media. Free-market has nothing to do with it.

Its a similar version of what Russia does. Oligarch friends of Putin and the ruling party run the major media. They arrange and spin to present everything in the proper ideological note. There is some opposition views allowed, but they usually always on the "wrong side" of issues.

Yes, the USA has fallen that far....

Jay Leno had a pretty good gig going. He was an equal opportunity offender. But he rarely, if ever, made a joke about Obama. It was a no-no.

But I trusted him and he always seem to put on a good show.

So it can be done. They probably got rid of Leno because of “demographics.”

Of course, too, we have all lost our sense of humor as a country in recent. A lot of hate flowing around and mostly from the Left and people don't like a joke that is humor wrapped around hate.

Kimmel and Fallon seem very different to me. Kimmel seems very hardcore leftist and Fallon not quite as much. Also, Kimmel seems very hateful much of the time, while Fallon seems like a genuinely nice guy.
