Going through our old friend Aaron Barnhart's review of Yearly Departed on Primetimer, Aaron leaves this vicious shot at Colbert.
"Stephen Colbert is by far the most popular host working in late night, and he accomplishes this with (a) a cold open that is not funny, (b) a monologue that Rachel Maddow could have done, only hers would have been better <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4of5iIRlUm4>. He has gone from a singular comedic talent to Jay Leno in five years. Trevor Noah is the last man standing at Comedy Central and I’m pretty sure it’s because a million Americans would rather get their news from him than David Muir." I have to say Aaron has a point here although I wouldn't go that far comparing him with Big Jaw. I've found Colbert's pandemic shows to be unfunny and bland and the show to be way too Trump-centric over the last four years. Colbert has clearly been hurt more than the other late night shows with the lack of an audience and I feel like the show has basically been on auto-pilot since April. I wonder how Colbert's show will change after January 20th once Biden is sworn in and Trump fades into the rear-view mirror despite the inevitable bitching at whatever on his feed over at Jack Dorsey's Hate Box.
