The Golden Age ended sometime in the last century.

That’s because late night talk shows wrecked themselves.

That was the golden age

Greg Gutfeld is shredding Colbert, Kimmel and Fallon in the ratings. Therefore, CNN must declare “Late-night television’s golden age is over.”

They’d never admit it, but...half this country doesn’t watch ANY of their garbage.

There was no “Golden Age” of television, late night or otherwise.

TV died when the sitcom was replaced by shows about unwed 20 somethings living together. Happened sometime in the mid 90s.

Late night TV died when it all became Democrat propaganda.

I’m old enough to remember Steve Allen and Jack Paar...it’s been downhill since, with the exception of Johnny Carson.

“Losing hosts of color”

Who cares what color they are? Are they funny? Interesting? Are their shows entertaining? Is there an attempt at balance by mocking liberals? The jokes about Biden that are just waiting to be told. Gutfeld is lucky in that he basically seems to have a monopoly on viewers who want to laugh at liberals.

Late-night TV hasn’t been worth anything since the invention of the infomercial. That put an end to most of the strange old movies they used to show during the wee hours. I never did like talk shows, not even Johnny Carson.

“In July, TBS announced that, after seven seasons, “Full Frontal with Samantha Bee” would not be returning...”

That makes the end of a “golden age?” That was possibly the least funny show of all time. She is cringe.
