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. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
