I stuck with Colbert through the Trump administration since his outrage
resonated with me. Even then, though, there'd be some jokes where the
writing would poke through, and it wasn't impressive.

Once Biden came into office, the monologues became more about the writing
than outrage, and they didn't work for me. So I watch Kimmel now. And if he
goes to filler segments with people on Hollywood Blvd., or I'm not
interested in any of the interviews, there are always Perry Mason reruns on
MeTV.

After Midnight drives home why talk shows evolved the way they did. It's
hard to be funny for four or five solid hours a week; you're much better
off taking the top 25% of your comedy and filling the rest of the time with
interviews.
