Yep.  I felt the age when Bob Saget died.

as much as i appreciate saget, the news didn't throw me.  i think i was a bit too old for full house, so the full connect wasn't there.

True story - this killed George Allen. Another reason it’s not funny.

Urban myth.  Allen died from ventricular fibrillation (cardiac arrest). His death had nothing to do with Gatorade or Pneumonia.

Don't care for the new crowd at all. If you can find them on one of those retro channels, Dick Cavett had some really interesting actual conversations with folks. But seems it's mostly all about cheap laughs and bowing down to the topic of the day, so I tune out.

They are all hack clowns.

 

JC is rolling over in his grave and Jay Leno's chin is getting bigger knowing that these talentless trolls followed them.

 

The next thing these guys say or do anything that is funny will be the first time they say or do anything funny.

 

Gutfeld is crushing them for a reason.

You call them clowns but think Leno was funny?  There’s never been a bigger, albeit very well paid, hack than Leno.  He was the epitome of how not to do comedy.   He did for late night TV what Little Hug did for kids drinks.

.....and politics.  So pass.  I'd rather hear what TBD posters have to say when it comes to football.  Cavett was good.

Yes, I was using a euphemism because that particular slant quickly becomes a topic that derails into polemical bickering. But I agree with you.

My favorite part about Fallon is when he intentionally does that nervous laugh at his own unfunny jokes. Tee-hee.

 

Conan's the only one who has done it right in 30+ years. Colbert was much better as a caricature. Gutfeld just gets spite views, he's not actually a funny or interesting individual either, c'mon.

The current breed of late night hosts, SNL cast, TV show reboots, and their writers have alienated half of their potential American audience by over-politicizing content.  They naively expect all viewers to nod in agreement with cheap shots and misguided attacks on those who lean right of center.

 

Worst of all...they're attempts at most of their comedy falls flat. They're not funny.

I gotta say I’m dismayed by the Colbert hate. Is it the late show on CBS that turned you off? I don’t watch late nite I’m referring to The Colbert Report. I guess politics has ruined comedy 🥺

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a very specific reason to revive this one.
