Exactly, there’s plenty of streaming shows you can watch whenever.

Isn’t there some show on fox late at night? A panel?

My brother raves about it.

Although, they went all in for Hillary, which killed their busines. I can see the talk show landscape changing, where you are just having interesting guests and streaming the show on a platform, like Netflix, with no set time slot.

Well they decided about 15 years ago to deliberately alienate half the audience. They soon pushed out Jay Leno who was the last one who tried to appeal to a broad audience. They succeeded in convincing anybody who was to the right of Karl Marx that these shows were not for them and that half of the audience quickly tuned out. How's that working out for you? Dumbasses.

The same goes for the corporate media which is also dying.

The same goes for Hollywood which has been losing money hand over fist.

The same goes for the NBA which is now almost completely reliant on China. The same goes for the NFL which has seen its ratings steadily decline for a decade.

You'd think somebody might take a hint at some point.

Whenever politics invades a thing (whether comedy, sports, business, medicine, art, or science), it withers and dies.

When communist indoctrination programs were inserted into American education (universities and K-12) the plan was that it would eventually ooze from those institutions (as students left to enter the world) and then permeate the entire culture.

We have seen that happen.

They were all doing Orange Man Bad and wore it out. People weren’t laughing because it was funny. They laughed because they were told to laugh

I stopped watching when Johnny Carson retired. Nothing was ever the same after that.

The media corporation were stong armed into changing late night talk into hard leftist propaganda.

Jimmy and the rest were told to tow the line and they did.

Nothing. Nothing they say is funny and the entertainers there to plug their latest tv and film product sprinkled with leftist jabs at the right make you want to puke.

So, there goes over 50% of your audience straight away followed by the rest who find no entertainment value whatsoever in an unfunny comedy hour.

The left destroys everything it touches.

I read a similar article a few months ago, and they mentioned EVERY late-night show except for Gutfeld.

His show is killing in the ratings, and is funny and irreverent from a conservative/libertarian perspective.

If you've never watched it, record an episode or two - it's worth a look for some good laughs.

They killed their day. It went from entertainment to propaganda. Kimmel got his monologue from Schumer at one point.

Go woke, go political and you end up going away.

It got to the point where these shows became only for the sick, lame and retarded college kiddies with insomnia who believe watching this crap would improve their intelligence and make them appear to be smarter than they actually are. Unfortunately, the clowns lost out to cellphones. The kiddies now spend all their time staring at and poking their cellphones. The TV can no longer get their attention.

“I don’t know if there will be any late-night television shows on network TV in 10 years,” the “Jimmy Kimmel Live” host said.

Global Warming Climate Change is scheduled to end all programming on the planet in six years.

Jimmy Kimmel conceded that the end is nigh for late-night talk shows.

“I don’t know if there will be any late-night television shows on network TV in 10 years,”


Kimmel is a big reason why late-night talk shows are finished. Politicized left-wing rants aren't funny or entertaining, and douchebags like Kimmel have made late night unwatchable for everyone except the dwindling number of middle-aged liberal clapping seals.

Carson was middle of the road and kept both sides watching, not like these self righteous preachy aholes you have now.

If they were decent, and not nasty partisan I doctrination shows, they might have survived. I think people would still appreciate comedy, but not at the expense of being lectured and scolded by far left loons all the time
