Is Conan O'Brien the only late night host left that is a-political?

Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, and Jimmy Kimmel are obviously anti-Trump. Is Conan the only one left that is somewhat balanced?

Yes, as far as I know. I don't really watch late night shows. Conan is the funniest one of the bunch to me if I had to say anyways.

By far. No question about that.

Conan is the only decent one left. He's the most true to the old school style of late night shows. He's most influenced by Letterman and Carson and it shows. It's a shame he's wasting his talent on TBS where no one sees him. He should have taken over the Late Show for Letterman.

Blame NBC and Jay Leno for tricking him over when Conan was supposed to get the Tonight Show.

You can tell Conan is left wing, but he keeps his show comedic and non-political.

All the other late night shows are full blown left wing propaganda, all Daily Show wannabes.

I think he leans left politically but he doesn't show it during his shows. He's not a full blown SJW like the ones you mentioned in the OP.

I don't watch late shows but he's the only I do watch if I happen to tune in to a late show.

I always got the vibe that Craig Ferguson was a closet conservative. i liked his show.

Except Conan Got The Tonight Show.

Nobody likes to talk about the 60 million dollar offer Fox had on the table, and how Conan used that to hold a gun to NBC's head.

I like Conan and all, but Conan played his own role in giving up the Tonight Show which doesn't put him in a favorable light. People don't like to talk about that though.

He's the least political of the bunch, but there have been times when I've heard some anti-Trump things on there. Compared to the rest of the shows, though, he's practically a Republican.

The funniest bit any of them have done was Meyers's tearful revelation to his daughter that Hillary lost

Yeah I like Fallon. If he does touch on politics it's pretty tasteful and not whiny like Meyers

I remember being in middle school staying up late on a school night watching Conan just to see the "In the year 2000 in the year 2000".
