I like it better when the late night comedians remain neutral with their political views. Jay Leno did that and was still funny as hell. I used to find Jimmy Kimmel really funny and entertaining, but he now drones on and on about Trump, almost his entire monologue. I'm all for a good and funny joke about anybody, but it's like he is obsessed and in a really negative place.

Jimmy Fallon is notorious for his drinking. He's had a few drunk accidents......

They've always made fun of the President, even Johnny Carson...until Obama. So they're just making up for lost time.

I agree! I used to love watching Kimmel, but now it's just exhausting getting through his obnoxious Trump idiocy. It'd be one thing if it was actually funny. 😞

@brightlights

David Letterman did that, too.

It turns from a show for entertainment into a show with an agenda. Even if I agree with the agenda, it's just Boooooring.

@Sammee

I turned on Seth Meyers recently interviewing Kellyanne Conway. I was FLOORED at how blatantly disrespectful and rude he was to her...like almost in her face trying to humiliate her with every word she tried to speak, with the audience laughing with him.

I'll never watch Meyers again. Not that he was ever that funny anyway.

*Edit...sorry, y'all. I got my late night shows mixed up. It was Seth Meyers, not Jimmy Fallon! 😩

@Sammee :
You said a mouth full when you said even if I agree with it . If I want to hear about what Trump did TODAY or everyday I'll turn on one of the news channels .

The late shows have always had their monologue. Unfortunately - low hanging fruit - Obama has had his issues, but I don't know how ripe they were for satire.

I used to watch Jay Leno for his Democrat jokes and Letterman for his republican Jabs -

No I am generally asleep long before the late shows....

as long as the monologues play well with ratings groups they will continue.

what is the demographic target for these late night shows?

@brightlights :

I don't care for her but what he did is just flat out wrong.You invite a guest on to your show & then humiliate her . To bad she didn't just get up & walk out !
