Resent news about the demise of late-night TV show ratings is no surprise to me. All of the liberal Democrat talking heads are tanking in the ratings, so much so that the rotund little Brit Corden is finished, as is Trevor Noah, a South African who just was a trendy mouthpiece to read democrat talking points and was never funny despite the media hype. Yet admittedly, Colbert continues his unparalleled level of arrogance and remains tone deaf in the face of his ratings in free fall has shown himself to be dismissive of conservative viewers. He has been relentless in his criticism of Trump, resorting to attempts at humor that are, at best, references to debunked Russia collusion theories and, at their worst, crude and vulgar. Again, not particularly funny and indulging in political commentary with no particular expertise aside from vehement partisanship. And the most tragic demise, in my estimation, maybe Saturday Night Live, suffering from a dearth of talent yet riding the coattails of Alec Baldwin’s tired Trump impersonations while openly mourning Hillary Clinton’s election loss. All the while ignoring the made-for-comedy buffoonery occurring daily in the Biden Administration. As quoted by former SNL member Joe Piscopo: “the comedy writes itself.”
