Old people don't stay up to 11:30 and young people never tune in to non-streaming TV.

Late night network TV is doomed. Prime time network TV isn't far behind.

Part of this is how bloated all these shows became.  Truth is, most people will tune in to see a star they like being interviewed in an interesting way. That doesn’t require a giant band or expensive theater or 100s of employees.  With a good interviewer, all you need is two or three cameras, two chairs, and a guest or two. Done.

Massive teams of dozens of "comedy writers" to put together a 5 minute monologue of banal jokes every evening. Concept never made sense to me.

@hhlurker such a joke would not make it on late night airwaves today. He’s having fun at Obama and his critics expense simultaneously. 

Don’t be dense. 

Like calling you a hoosier, right? Oh wait…

 

 

Spare me the cunty bullshit. Are you a woman?

I call myself a Hoosier in the sense that I went to Indiana University and root for their athletic teams. 

If I don’t fit your definition of a Hoosier maybe you should shove it up your ass. That’s a good place for your thoughts. 

 

 

Get laid.

Charlie Rose was the best. Talk TV took a huge hit when he got #MeToo'd.

CNN will take him. LOL.  Does anybody watch CNN?  What a waste.

I agree on Craig Ferguson being the best.  That guy was hilarious and crushed the others.

Funny thing is all those attacking Trump the most are getting shitcaned long before Trump. Inlove  

Actually, the funniest thing is watching all the MAGAs on here acting like they know what is/is not funny.

If CBS wants to ruin their network with Colbert what do I care. There are million channels to watch. I don't need watch that A-HO.  

Old people don't stay up late. lol   I'm old and watch plenty TV between 10-midnight Central Time including some prime time network TV series.  Resident Alien = Funny. Colbert and Kimmell. Not!!!  I use Tablo app on Roku to record any network TV shows to be able to FF thru the commercials. It is free with a TV antenna. You do need purchase a Tablo device.

you are a pompous dick. I don’t give a damn whether anyone thinks something is funny or not. Every one is free to determine what’s funny to them. 

 

Way to avoid the slip into personal attacks, there, stoll. Well done.

Yup. People losing their jobs because of their opposition to the government is fucking hilarious.

Stoll didn't say anything about money. He did say something about opposing Trump. I was just responding to what he said he found funny. Don't be one of those refs who only gives a card to the responder.

@goat I’d be a terrible ref. I’d call preemptive fouls.  Hey I didn’t touch. I know but you were thinking about it. Let him dribble

@bradstevens I gave this a listen yesterday.  If anything it was interesting.  I do agree late night tv is a dying breed.  I can’t tell you if they cut the show over money, politics or both.  I can however tell you I’ve asked my kids and none of them watch any of the shows.  They do however catch some clips of Colbert on YouTube.  They also report their peers don’t watch these shows either.  They’re all to busy watching shit like Love Island.
