A majority of late-night hosts are to dedicate a night to tackling climate change.

The comedians will each focus on the topic on Wednesday September 22 – Climate Night – in a rare show of unity across the genre.

CBS’ The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and The Late Late Show with James Corden, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Late Night with Seth Meyers, Comedy Central’s The Daily Show with Trevor Noah and TBS’ Full Frontal with Samantha Bee are all participating.

The event is designed to coincide with Climate Week NYC and has been created by former Daily Show and Patriot Act showrunner Steve Bodow. It is being supported in part by Laurene Powell Jobs’ Emerson Collective.

“Climate change has gone very fast from ‘probably the future,’ to ‘actually, right now’ – which means we all need to be talking and thinking about it much more,” said Bodow. “Late-night hosts reflect our national conversation even more than Russian Twitter bots set it – so this incredible group of shows coming together makes a statement about the scale and urgency of the world’s hottest problem.”

A rare show of unity? They've been running with similarily themed material for years. The only things different are the names of the hosts.

Seth Meyers



His show came on the other night after the football game(I think) and his opening monologue was pretty much solely him making Trump jokes/impersonations the entire time. The crowd wasn't even laughing at the "jokes." It was so cringe, and kind of sad.

How about cancelling their shows to reduce the hot air generated.

In twenty years the climate has changed. We are doomed.
Even if we had Jack Paar, Johnny Carson and David Letterman combined they couldn’t save us. No way these wannabes can.

But who is tackling unfunny late night jag offs? These tools are unwatchable garbage.

Apparently they forgot Al Gore predicted 20 years ago the earth would be a furnace within 10 years.

just propaganda from the powers that be to further brain wash the masses.

The network heads get their orders from the powers that be...then they pass it down to their spineless tv hosts. From there, they spill this garbage over the airwaves

Leftist Weather Religious Fundamentalism is way more shrill and more humorless than the old-fashioned fire and brimstone stuff of my youth. So comedy might be the wrong format for the finger-wagging ideological dogma. I mean, their audience is already in the bag anyway as they get so many sermons on a nightly basis from their High Priests. It's nice though that the fabulously-rich in our most non-diverse Progressive enclaves have a way to scratch that spiritual itch, isn't it?

Late Night Comedians talking about Climate Change?

Yeah, that's about right. You need to be a complete f*cking CLOWN SHOW to fall for this absurd POLITICIZED HOAX.

We were told it was already too late in 2014. The cake is baked.
