... will call you ....
Colbert, Trevor Noah, Kimmel, Seth Myers, and Samantha Bee.... Shouldn’t one requirement be that hey are funny? Witty? Entertaining? None of them are. Snark and derision.
I always had a job I had to get up for. Late night tv just wasn’t a priority, and it has never been must-see stuff.
And didn’t Roots play a vulgar song when Michelle Bachmann visited Jimmy Fallon before he got the Tonight Show? I haven’t watched him, or any other late night host since then.
There is nothing like a dame! There is nothing you can name ...
Always liked Mitzi Gaynor....
She was cute and very talented.
We don’t anymore. The late night standards have fallen so far from those of Johnny Carson. Why would anyone lose sleep and stay up to watch a bunch of tasteless, unfunny jokes. It’s their choice to write off millions of potential viewers. Trump supporters certainly won’t lose any sleep over it.
Maybe I will. I got halfway through Herman Wouk’s novel about life in the Caribbean, “Don’t Stop the Carnival!” before it was due back at the library. Jimmy Buffett wrote the musical, but it didn’t make it to Broadway.
This particularly gross low point didn't even get mentioned. The author is saying things got worse in the past five years, while this was eight years ago. I haven't watched much TV in many years, in part because of exactly this nonsense. Imagine saying the same things about "Slutty flight attendant Michelle Obama" or about Sasha or Malia getting pregnant. If it is not acceptable about a democrat, it's not acceptable when targeting a real American either.
I stopped watching late night shows about the time Johnnie Carson started using mean-spirited humor. I assumed it was the Don Rickles Effect. And as for any series, I stopped watching any of them before J R got shot. Result is I’ve never seen classics like Seinfeld, Moonlighting, Friends, Game of Thrones etc, etc, although I am aware of them because of news about them. We cut the cable when the last kid left home about three years ago. Have not missed it at all.
I knew a guy who knew a Carson writer. He said every day, they would write a big stack of great jokes, and Carson would throw them out: “Too good. Too good. Too good.” Jokes that bombed was Carson’s main schtick.
I honestly think Fallon isn’t in any way a liberal but is being pressured into falling in line with the rest of the liberal blowhards. He’s done that, but when he “stands up to Trump(barf)” it’s usually pretty half hearted.
I wanted to grow up and have legs as pretty as Mitzi Gaynor—
What a Babe. I tell you the A list & B List ladies of the 1930’s and 1940’s movies & radio put today’s so called actress’ to shame talent and looks wise.
Another ting about late night, Carson remains about the only person who was willing and loved finding and showcasing new talent. Since he left in 1992 no one does it.
Mitzi was not tall, but had a dynamite figure. Trim but curvy. I admired her a lot. Comical, could sing and dance. A star.
