The title alone says what I’ve been thinking for a long time. I haven’t watched any “Late Night” shows in years and years. To hell with them.
I like watching the vintage Johnny Carson shows on TCM, featuring interviews with classic movie stars. In any event, one that was on was a 1980 show with Angie Dickinson and she was absolutely gorgeous even in a jeans and casual sweater outfit. And it was fun just to watch her and Johnny banter about one thing after another. Seems like a different world ago, even that time, compared to the Lake Erie that ones like Colbert and others have turned late night shows into now.
I bet if there were just ONE late night host who skewered BOTH sides of politics evenly and FUNNILY, they would be the leader. Fallon isn’t as bad as the others, but he isn’t good either. I remember Leno being asked why he didn’t makes jokes about Obama and he just said Obama isn’t funny. Never mind the ‘57 states’ etc, out of Obama’s mouth. I am sure he got the message ‘LAY OFF OBAMA’. We never watch late night anymore. No point, they are all the same.....rude, crude and socially unacceptable, unfunny ‘comedians’.
What’s this thing called a “television?”
It’s the last remaining vestige that is left to comedians. They can’t talk about sex. They can’t talk about body shapes. They can’t talk about women or minorities. Most won’t even appear on college campuses any longer. The left has sucked the humor out of life so much, that there’s nothing left for a comedian to talk about — except come up with hateful speech about the right.
To them, that’s still okay.
And it’s still not funny.
It must suck to be a white male leftist, impotent rage, scorn and derision from your own side, festering inadequacy as a man (since they alone take feminist dogma seriously). I would not be surprised if one of these talkers took up a gun and tried for a mass killing.
I’m guess 90% of conservatives don’t watch these a-holes so they’re left with liberals and eventually even they get tire of the same garbage all the time!!!
Seems that they are going the way of the NFL and don’t get it yet, as well...in fact we should point out that NFL can be rearranged into LNF...anagram for Late Night Fail....as they continue to alienate 50% of their customer base
TV has been a vast wasteland for years.
Late night isn’t comedy any more. Johnny Carson died and late night dies with him.
Late night is nothing but angry liberal political lectures.
It’s not comedy. The word “comedy” is to fool the viewer into thinking that it is humor, while it is actually leftists saying things leftists want to hear, so they don’t have to find out the truth and think for themselves.
“Under Letterman, there was a semblance of balance between political jokes aimed at the right and the left, and much of the show wasn’t political.”
Rachel doesn’t look old enough to remember when this was true.
Let’s face it. As a general statement Hollywood, The MSM & 5th Ave hate everything we stand for.
Late Night Comedy hasn’t been fumy for years/decades - the last one worth watching once in a while was Leno and they decided he was too much of a contrast with all the POS wannabes....
While visiting with cousins I observed as they watched late night I think SNL. One very liberal cousin formerly brainwashed at univ Wisconsin was laughing at every expression emanating from the stage.
There was nothing funny about any of it. Nothing
They laugh at it.

I find that the girls are way more interested in it than the boys are
Liberals have nothing else safe to talk about. They have no agenda that is good for the people they represent so they can only bash the other guy. Every single thing they have dreamed up has imploded, become impractical, or a waste since Roosevelt in the twenties.
So what else do they have? Truly for them it is if you can’t raise the bridge, lower the river.

They’ve expanded Orwell’s “Two Minutes of Hate”.
