It's a blue wall map with wave insurance anyways, it won't be another 2016 for a long time because as Robert Risch said this is another Great Recession the Pandemic where Corporate profits went up while the bottom stayed the same, in 2010/14/16, voters didn't mind getting tax cuts, we are more dependant on Entitlements because the Pandemic, Obamacare has Medicaid and Medicare expansion where you can work and receive subsidy health insurance

In 2010/14/16 Rassy polled states and they wanted Obamacare repea

That's why it's a Homeless Epidemic Real Estate is part of the Business class to make a profit they don't want offer Subsidized Housing anymore unless it's Section 8 too many middle class not poor people want HOUSING

I don't know who watches Fallon. Colbert, Meyers, even Kimmel and Noah are better. Fallon might be a nice guy, but he seems to run the most "basic" (in a bad way) show out of the 5.

I miss the days when late night shows were about jokes and talking to interesting people and people in the entertainment industry.  Except for Corden (who is quitting to be no doubt replaced by someone else who just has to mention Trump 25 times every segment like the rest of clones), they now are all just copying Jon Stewart's Daily Show....poorly.  Colbert, ironically, is the worst.  At least Noah is doing it from the appropriate place.

I dislike the beard. Ugh.

I agree.  Jon Stewart's Daily Show was really something special, he had a gift for getting right to the heart of the insanity and not getting sidetracked by details and sideshows and moral outrage and bulls--t.  So many times you'd watch Stewart and he would just, like, nail it.  The current late night hosts all doing their goofy Trump impressions and treating him like a stupid joke, only to switch on the "very serious moral monologue" voice at the appropriate time, and then undercut it with a joke, are predictable and boring and never really get anything substantial or memorable... and most of all... they're not funny.  Stewart was really funny.

The Colbert Report was really good for this too, but it was very much a product of its time and ended at the right moment, maybe even a couple years too late.  I tried showing some greatest hits of the show to my girlfriend, who doesn't remember as much of the Bush Admin or the phony moral outrage era of the early Obama years, and she just didn't really get it.

I can't blame them too much for getting too political. We're in a time where politics is so absurd and difficult to ignore that it's always a plentiful well of comedic material, and those jokes are much easier made at the right than the left.

Not only that but given how polarized we've become, after the Trump era, many of these late-night shows kind of have to rely on an audience of anti-Trump viewers for the sake of ratings. Trump supporters certainly aren't going to watch them. I think Fallon (whose show fell behind most others after Trump's election, probably partly due to his infamous messing up of Trump's hair and treating him like any other celebrity guest that Fallon is notorious for brown-nosing) with this is trying to get some of those more politically-oriented viewers back.

Since he's been mentioned a couple times I've legit never once found Trevor Noah funny. Always goes for the laziest most obvious joke and is too interested in trying to be cool to have good delivery. Not an ideological thing, Stewart and Colbert were great.

Honestly I think it's underestimated just how damaging this phenomenon is.  Young people want to get political news as a form of entertainment.  I mentioned my girlfriend, she doesn't read the newspaper or anything.  The only time she knows about a political thing or a global even is when one of her podcasts mentions it.

It used to be that The Daily Show was a common thing that a lot of people would watch, and so young people would have this common source of news that, even though it was ideological comedy, had pretty reasonable standards for journalism and gave decent coverage without veering off into wacko land.  In lieu of that, young people are getting their political content from podcasts, Twitch streams, YouTube videos, etc. and what they're getting is far more ideology-driven, has far lower journalistic standards, far lower integrity, and is regularly full of lies, misinformation, extreme viewpoints and outrage porn.

I used to watch The Daily Show and The Colbert Report every single day first thing when I got home, recorded from the night before on my DVR.

I don't think I've watched even a single full episode of Trevor Noah's Daily Show, or of Colbert's Late Show since very early into its run when I quickly realized it would never be the same.

I guess I don't really NEED them, but I kinda miss them sometimes. It was a comforting presence and nothing has ever adequately taken their place, ironically considering all the copycats out there now.

The one constant now is, love him or hate him, Bill Maher. I still watch Real Time religiously (no pun intended). He's an asshole who's often wrong, of course, but there's nothing else quite like his show and I'm glad he's still out there doing his thing. Gives me some strange sense of comfort.
