Congressional hearings for the firing of Colbert? Really?

[red viking]

It was actually the top rated show for that time of night. Late shows are just all dying off.

Due to the climate thing or the stock market crash?

Well, they were funny.   Letterman was funny and weird and had funny and weird guests.   It was fun to watch.   Late night TV is no longer fun to watch.   Streaming probably has something to do with that, but they are just not funny anymore.   And with https://newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/alex-christy/2025/07/01/study-late-night-comedy-shows-begin-2025-99-percent-guests-being

For the men of the late night comedy talk shows, the first half of 2025 was an instance of history repeating itself. According to a NewsBusters study, 99 percent of their political guests were on the left, matching the result for the last six months of 2024.

The grand totals were 106 liberals and Democrats compared to one conservative.

The study looked at the five daily late night comedy shows: ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and Comedy Central’s The Daily Show from January 6 through June 30.

The genre is dying and that is because they have excluded half the potential audience.

All network television is pure garbage.  Juvenile humor and low hanging fruit jokes. They want to use TV as a means to shape society but their product  is just garbage.

Why watch that drivel when you can stream stuff you like to watch?   If the drivel was good, they could compete, but they can't compete with the product they deliver.   Anyone remember the Letterman and Joaquin interview that went off the rails?   Now that was funny stuff.   Johnny Carson and Don Rickles, or Robin Williams, or Rodney Dangerfield or a plethora of other funny funny people?   Now you get Colbert and Schumer.   Now that's a laugh a minute you betcha.

Thank God for Speaker Johnson. He adjourned the House in the nick of time before a Colbert investigation could start.

To paraphrase Monty Python:

"When Epstein reared his ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled,
Brave, brave, brave, brave, brave, brave Mike Johnson"

[headshuck]

Wait, I thought they adjourned to avoid voting on the release of Epstein files? So much smoke.
