Pinpointing the exact cause of Late Night TV's precipitous decline can be tricky. Yes it's Trump, but not only. It's also that the "Daily Show" sensibility has become the norm; there's nothing edgy about that snark-style anymore. It's just status quo nowhttps://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1072299942490836997 …

"liberal" or "anti-Trump" don't fully capture the nature of their shared comedic premise. Obviously that's a part. But it's also about clinging to a remnant of 2000s-era snark culture that has no self-awareness of how it's now *by far* the dominant sensibility in the industry

It doesn't help that Colbert is deeply anti-Russia.

TV? You're refering to the cable running from the carb to a 700r4 transmission right?

ironically, the better comedic premise for now was that of the Colbert Report back then

One idea might be, instead of hiring someone like

Johnny Carson was brilliant because as a kid I watched it and it felt like these were ADULTS having some laughs after the kids went to bed. Loosened tie and a drink. The modern formula is adults feinting being cool kids... the result is moronic.

I go back to something George Carlin said about there not being any great conspiracy, just people who are educated in the same places and know what's expected of them. These shows all seem to hire writers from mostly Ivy League schools, and the writing reflects an MSM worldview.

Absolutely no one has seriously asked you how to solve a comedy or TV production problem. When someone says “Hey jerk, why don’t you fix it yourself?” it’s not a question that actually meant to be answered.
