Nolte: Late-Night Talk Shows Suffer Major Ratings Losses Without Trump
Breitbart ^ | 06/25/2021 | John Nolte

Posted on 06/25/2021 7:14:00 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

The far-left, late-night talk shows are suffering some serious ratings losses, which probably has more than a little to do with President Trump leaving office.

As you read through the numbers below, keep this number in mind: 6.3 million. During the 1986-87 television season, with nearly 100 million fewer people in the country, that was the number of viewers Johnny Carson averaged throughout the entire 1986-87 television season.

I stopped watching Late-Night when Letterman put a meatball or was it a pizza on the top of a Christmas Tree

Late Night TV died when Johnny Carson retired.

No it has to do with them being propaganda-spewing leftist tw@ts.

I stopped when Leno retired. He went after both sides and wasn’t the hate filled “all Republicans are eeeeeeeeeevil” comedians we have today.

It was pretty good for a while when Craig Ferguson had the “Late Late Show”, but nothing topped Carson.

Gutfeld is doing fine. Let the others choke and die.

Carson was the master.Leno was pretty good.Letterman was pretty good...in his early years. Since then “late night” has been dead to me.

“miss me yet” is a reality when it comes to Trump. For many different reasons, but since fake news can’t get all hate filled and flustercated about the ding a ling Joe, they need Trump to have something to rant on about.

Once upon a time late-night talk show hosts were actually funny and entertaining.

The media made ‘Trump bashing’ into an industry...That shows you the IQ level of the media and the people who buy into that crap

The only reason I’d watch any of those a-holes is if they were going to be killed on the air.

Not only that, but stars were stars then. A good portion of Johnny's guests were legends of entertainment as opposed to today's wokesters.

Very true. Also, current late-night hosts are crippled because they are forbidden to make nasty talk about Biden.

Yep, and Biden provides so much material. The skits would be hilarious, all his mumbling, falling, spacey stares, oh, and Hollywood's favorite subject, sexual assault.

Exactly. People are sick of their garbage. And it’s boring.

Not to mention Hunter, sheesh, wiring 25k to the wrong hooker because he was so coked up, hilarious potential.
