Do you watch any late night talk shows?

Mostly a no from me. I've seen a couple of episodes of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. Easily the most bearable one for me. What I mean by that is, I have a really LOW cringe threshold

I cannot handle cringe of any kind and these shows have plenty of that. All the awkwardness & celebraties trying to be funny, my body can't handle it. I'm genuinely not exaggerating.

From all the little snippets & YouTube clips I've seen so far, Conan O'Brien is the only who's actually made me laugh. The other ones are mostly unbearable. Especially the 2 Jimmys, Fallon & Kimmel. Colbert was 100 times better & more bearable when he was on Comedy Central's The Colbert Report

The only one that I kept up with & actually watched on a frequent basis was The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

Only Dick Cavett, and that's rare..

I don't care who is hosting (not that I like anyone out there - all corporate whores) but who the hell are you going to interview who is actually INTERESTING?

Used to watch Jimmy Kimmel until he turned into a liberal fruitcake nutjob.

I only watch Greg Gutfeld now, easily the best of the late night shows.

I totally agree!

Oh Hell No! Nothing but Leftist Hatred, and not funny at all!

Not anymore. The only ones I was ever a fan of was David Letterman, Jay Leno and Craig Ferguson and I was only a kid and teen when they were still on the air.

I like a lot from what I've seen of Conan O'Brien's old NBC show, but now I think he has gotten old, too PC and I think he needs to hang it up already.

He actually retired from hosting his late night show like a month or 2 ago

[–] [deleted] 3 years ago

Oh...well, I wouldn't know...I don't keep up with him anymore.

[–] M1sterDoct0r (4423) 3 years ago

I don't either. It's just one of those things that kept showing up in my newsfeed on a regular basis.

The last time I actually kept up with these kinda shows was with The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. I really liked that.

[–] [deleted] 3 years ago

I gave up about 10 years ago.

[–] M1sterDoct0r (4423) 3 years ago

6 years for me. That's when Jon Stewart signed off from The Daily Show. The new guy is pretty decent but the show is nowhere near as good.

It's definitely missing that hyper, animated delivery & also, good writing. I'm probably biased toward Stewart. I just loved his delivery & comedic timing.

Just clips here and there on Youtube these days.

Same. Mostly though I just watch Conan visit places & do stuff with his staff. His Remotes are mostly entertaining.

So basically, not even the actual shows

I usually avoid them like the plague.

Not really. I'll get suckered into watching Fallon now and then if there's a guest I want to see. I used to never miss them. But they're all insufferable now. One by one the old guard all retired and got replaced by garbage. Hot garbage.
