re: Did the Trump victory just save Colbert's late-night career?

I think it just proves that liberals are miserable people when they aren't in power. They cope with it by watching Colbert and SNL mock Trump because then they can feel good about themselves.

It's not Republicans that are giving both of these shows a boost. Liberals weren't watching them in the numbers they are now until Trump was elected. When Obama was in office, they clearly didn't watch because they were more content in life. It's interesting how it plays out
