This is the problem. These three are not funny.
Carson, Leno, Leno, even Letterman were funny. I am too young (62) to remember the others.
I do remember the Bob Hope specials, Laugh In repeats, even Hollywood Squares and Carol Burnett. Who’s show was really funny because of Harvey Corman, Tim Conway and the ladies were all funny. The writing was also good.
Letterman was a liberal but he was goofy. He was entertaining.
Leno did some great segments in Jay Walking.
Carson doing Karnack the Great was always really funny.
Even radio shows like Imus in the Morning were successful because they were funny.
Gutfeld is successful because he is funny. He then has people like Tyrus and a couple other regulars that give good takes on daily events.
Even Arseneal Hall had an okay show back in the 1980s.
Craig Ferguson is the only other recent late night host that is funny. I don’t even know if he is still on TV. I just see his clips interviewing smoking hot women on YouTube & Facebook.
“I just see his clips interviewing smoking hot women on YouTube & Facebook.”
That would get the male college students to tune in.
Tyrus doesn't talk as much as the others but he usually does pretty good and sometimes has the most insightful and clear thoughts on some issue than all of the others.
