Well what the hell happened? I enjoyed Jon Stewart even though he played the "I'm just a measly comedian my opinion doesn't mean shite" card way to often. My favorite living comedian is Bill Burr and his interview with Colbert is one of the worst of all time. How the frick do you bomb with Bill Burr?

Leno fricking sucked.


Agreed. Leno was a complete and total hack. All of his bits were uncreative lowest common denominator trash.

If comedy were an ice cream store Leno is discount store brand vanilla.

Trump, and he became obsessed with him and social justice. That's what happened.

Agreed. That might be the worst interview I've ever seen. Go watch Conan's interview with him the day after the election and realize how much better he and his audience is: LINK

Honestly I've never watched these shows after JS "retired". They're on at 11:30 and I'm already drunk or heading to bed.

I'd love to find old clips of The Man Show to play for Kimmel. He'd probably melt.

kimmel's audience for the week ending 9/29 was 2.3 million the show airs 5 times a week on broadcast television available to 126 million households in the united states for free.

that 2.3 million is a weekly number divided by 5 that's 400k per episode.

there are 300 million people in the united states. 200 million adults 400k is .002, there are 10,000 neilsen boxes .002 times 10,000 is 20 that's the number of the neilsen sample that's likely tuned into the kimmel show.

in carson's hey day he had a nightly audience of 12 million. in saturday night live's hey day it had a single weekly audience of 30 million today it's 3 million and that's it's highest ratings in 5 years.

if these shows had to rely on just ad revenue they'd be off the air.

they don't they now get subscription fees from your local cable company. that's why every time they get into a peeing contest with the cable company's they take to local radio telling you to call your cable provider demanding that they carry local stations.

it's interesting their choice of local radio, i can show you a larger audience and better demographics on kplx fm, DFW's number 1 morning drive time radio station than i can on the kimmel show.

kplx is "today's country" the number two station is regional mexican.

the total audience for all three nightly chat shows is about 1.4 million per night.

The market is so fractionalized (made up word) that a couple million people (out of 330 million) is a huge success so they can fill a niche like shows I like like Forged in Fire and Counting Cars.

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.


That can apply to both sides. Doesn't it eventually get old listening to people say "it's the liberals fault", "fake news", "progs hate America", etc? Don't you know before you pull up TD exactly what will be posted here? Yet here you are

Why don't you tell us the late night clown show where that happens?

wanna play a game? You list a show where that happens and I will list a show with a whiny leftist a-hole and let's go back and forth and seewho runs out first.



Then we can go to "sports" shows!

Their shows will fail eventually for not other reason than the viewers will get sick of the politicizing of a late night show.

They'll both end up on CNN or MSNBC.

The level of vile hatred for the president that they openly display on public television is shocking to me. I find their pandering and peddling of presidential venom a cop out for a lack of their own short comings as entertainers. They will last because the bashing of our country is enjoyed by many unfortunately.

His O'Reilly shtick was funny as hell at first but it eventually got old. Unfortunately that's all he had. He hasn't said anything funny in years.

Obviously anecdotal, but I don't know one person in my life that watches late night TV talk shows like these anymore.

I'd imagine that all of their ratings are down and appealing to a niche is their way to stay relevant to a small, but super motivated segment of their audience.

The networks are also scared shitless by the bleeding victim, letter sending, twitter bashing, faux movement starting, fake boycotting mentality so airing a right leaning late night show to appeal to the other side of the "small, super motivated" segment would be advertiser suicide, thus not practical.

It seems insane that they're both fighting for the same 15% super liberal share of the audience.


But it's the same belief of close to 100% of the people that surround them, thus they believe it's the popular belief.

They get so ensconced into liberal bubbles it wouldn't shock me to find out they believe that the fly-over staters that get airtime on the news to mention support for the 2nd Amendment, Trump, climate warming through natural means, etc are the only ones that actually believe in those things and that the media has to search high and low to find them.

Along these lines, it's been incredible tuning in to CNN and MSNBC post this Las Vegas disaster. They're actually reporting the news, if you can imagine that. I know that's a quaint concept to the political hacks on both sides of the aisle, but it's actually been kind of nice not to hear the non-stop Trump bashing.

That said, I'm sure they'll be back to their old ways soon.
