During the Trump administration, Colbert's righteous indignation was helpful when we were getting two new unbelievable things every day. Even then, though, there were parts of the monologue where the writing and humor were questionable. And now, when things are slightly calmer, I've found that I prefer Kimmel's monologue. If either of them has a guest I want to watch, that's fine; if not, there's always Perry Mason.(I'm happy to ignore whatever it is that Fallon's doing.) At 12:30, Meyers' pseudo-Update that passes for a monologue works well enough, and now they've found a way to add digressions to A Closer Look that are silly enough to work. If there's a guest I want to see, I'll watch; if not, I can turn it off without the sense I'm missing anything. I saw a bit of the Late Late Show recently, and they still bring out all the non-musical guests together and then rotate questions; I hoped that they'd figured out that if there's no synergy between the guests, they're better off interviewing one guest at a time. Corden and Fallon still compete at how much love they can profess for their guests' work. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
