    Late Night TV has become a tedious monoculture that thinks it's subversive because every host hates Trump, but nothing could be less subversive than goofily idolizing Robert Mueller, which these shows do on a nightly basis. They're also not funny. My item:https://spectator.us/late-night-lusting-mueller/ …

        Thank you, Michael. This has been bothering me for some time and you put it better than I would have been able to. Will send to some of my friends that inexplicably watch SNL (have struggled not to lose respect for them as a result).

        Tracey's critique is on point. But it lacks in the offering of an alternative approach. How, then, would he have Colbert et al treat the Trump phenomenon? Bring Kellyanne and Huckabee on the show? Ignore Trump and tell small jokes about other stuff? Its hard to see an alternative

        I'm not running a daily network TV comedy show and don't plan on doing so any time soon, but I'd like to think if I were, it wouldn't be so maddeningly trite. Maybe has to do with operating from a different kind of comedic premise.

        I suspect when imaged against the moron in chief the late charlie manson would have crossed the aisle and taken on legendary indeed iconic status. Imagine if lenny bruce , george carlin or richard pryor were still around.

        The Firesign Theatre’s treatment of Nixon burned him into my childhood imagination as a demented paranoid ghoul. Nothing I’ve learned about the man has made me change my mind.

        Colbert is a great example of how money (and fame) corrupts. Not saying he was ever a progressive, but he wasn't this 'yes man' to the establishment back in the day. So disappointing.

        His show on Comedy Central was funny. Sure he was making fun of conservatives by playing one but it was in a light hearted way not anything like how he does his show now. I guess that's what happens when you mix Trump hysteria and mainstream media.

        At least Jimmy Fallon has games. Plus, he's kind of gregarious, so it makes it harder to take his snark as seriously. He's my favorite of the Big Three.

        "Part of the journalistic calling is to have empathy for people with differing life experiences, but I struggle deeply to relate to anyone who sincerely enjoys this crap." Exactly. Good comedy is something that people can enjoy no matter what their political background is.

        Nothing screams progressive like reverent worship of a Federal prosecutor coated with the very thin veneer of an "ironic" tone that comes off as smirky and ha-ha-we're-half-joking-but-not-really-joking at all.
