Will Colbert and Kimmel both survive moving further left

It seems insane that they're both fighting for the same 15% super liberal share of the audience.
I'm ignorant about new media - can they both survive (regardless of their TV ratings) so long as they keep getting tons of YouTube and Facebook views in the days after their far left screeds?
It's just an interesting strategy to me because both Carson and Leno stayed as moderate and centrist as humanly possible in a bid to retain the maximum audience, win the ratings battles and be considered "King of late night", and then you have both of these guys (along with Trever Noah) fighting each other to appeal to the same "folk" (as Shaun King would say).

Kimmel tries to make news with tears to try and steal Colbert's audience and it doesn't work
His ratings have been whatever for years including a permanent spot at #3 save for when Colbert was tanking
Colbert gives them the anger they want and he owns that audience because he has more lib cred. Now if trump derangement syndrome ever gets old and boring with the prog audience then Colbert is in deep shite.

Colbert is doing great in the ratings sadly.
Kimmel is too much of a figure to be taken down at this point, but he is the lowest rated.

I don't understand how even the most hardcore anti-Trump person can find these shows amusing night after night.
I mean, eventually doesn't it get old? It sort of ruins the comedy if you know before the show starts it's just going to be an hour long of Trump sucks for the 100th night in a row.

The terrible late night shows can’t be getting good ratings. Who watches that shite

They're not going anywhere.

Don't underestimate how triggered progressives are. Their entire understanding of the world was just destroyed. Their false reality shattered
They're positively turnt

So, Fallon is going to outlast both of them....Jesus.
Late Night has gone straight to hell. Those coastal ratings numbers have just ruined it for all of us.

Sure . Progs think everything is political . They don't even want comedy anymore they want a moral nanny and they get the kind of shrillness they need. Both will thrive because its destination viewing for Progs. It's a cultural statement --" I emote , therefore I am ". It's part of the orthodoxy now - like learning bible passages .

Colbert is one of the worst interviewers I've ever seen. Really is wild that he has rebounded as well as he has this past year. All those airports/hospitals/nursing homes really do love that dick head.

I can't stand Trump but I really can't watch the liberal BS either. Left-wing comedy has sucked for quite a while now.

Fallon has been bowing to pressure to appease the lib hysteria but yeah
He'll be around longer than both. Colbert's audience is an enigma
Are they here until the melt subsides or do they stick with him. Kimmel doesn't matter in late night, never has

They are the left's equivalent of the 700 Club: amen corner gatherings of the faithful who wish to receive the scriptural message in fellowship with other believers.

He was actually solid in the Colbert Report. It's just it was covered by a character and he's become obsessed with Trump which has ruined his interview skills.
Really Fallon just sucks at interviewing as well. Conan is the only good interviewer left in late night.

Does anybody really watch those shows anyway?

They'll both be on television as long as they want to be.

Worst interviewer ever as far as I'm concerned. Just pure shite who got let off the hook simply for busting Hugh Grant's balls. Leno fricking sucked.

Yeah but Colbert was a shaved puss hit from being shitcanned
Trump allowed his schtick to be rejuvenated and appeal to an older audience. Undoubtedly saved his career. If Conan has a career then everyone is safe

These late night shows are basically the left wing version of Hannity at this point.
