and unwillingness of the news to report on the corruption of Democrats led to the end of most news stations.

I would not waste a second watching these retromingent poltroons. Johnny Carson had class and expertise, something foreign to these clowns.

According to that chart, it appears that 88% of viewers are White females 55+.

Old people in general.

Younger people have to get to bed to go to work in the morning. They don’t have the luxury of staying up late to watch these fools...............

The fact that Gutfeld is the lone late-night host who isn’t an annoying, insufferable left-wing dirtbag has a lot to do with his consistent lead in the ratings - he has no competition. On the left: Kimmel, Myers, Colbert, Fallon. All left-wing, all complete douchebags, all competing for the same audience of left-wing clapping seals.

I can’t stand the smug, not funny, mean, they think it makes them look hip or cool or something jokes. I never watched any of the talk shows once Carson was gone.

Carson I could get with because I never felt assaulted by politics or separated from the humanity of his guests because I didn’t have the same out look. I never felt lectured at, never felt I had to be ‘told’ what to think.

I know Carson and I did not have the same viewpoints but Carson never made that part of his show. His show was about entertainment and even the least likely, not very famous or not even famous guests brought on were 100 percent more entertaining that these shows today.

And that even goes for Gutfeld who gets too crude and smug for me. I really don’t like it.

So nothing out there unless I watch Carson re-runs and I’m glad to say there are a lot of those.

Carson was the best.

Gutfeld and his guests may get a little raunchy, but one thing we get from his show is the truth. That’s why he’s at the top of the heap.

THey did kill it.

For those old enough to remember Johnny Carson, that was appointment viewing.

I cannot even begin the number of lost sleep hours waiting for Johnny to come on at 11:30 each night.

Total class act. No matter who was in the White House, you never could figure out if he was a Republican or a Democrat. He made jokes about all the presidents but his comedy was never mean spirited.

Jay Leno, Carson's replacement, was mostly not bad but he wasn't nearly as great as Carson.

It all went downhill from there.

I haven't watched late night shows in years, including SNL, which I used to love.

They are mostly full of hate these days and not entertaining at all.

Carson was the best. He knew what to say and when to say it. His sidekick was great. Carson had guests beyond politicians or entertainers—such as animal handlers with their animals, a 97 year old farmer with his girlfriend and many others. He was pure class. This current crop is clueless, but what do you expect from the current zeitgeist?

The ventrilquest guy with the grumpy old man that looked like biteme could have made billions if he wasn’t been afraid of being stoned by the democrats.

That’s because guys like Colbert and Kimmel are cowards and useful idiots.
