And the Answer Is,
Not sure why I'm writing this, it might be because I realized that I hadn't written anything for the entire month of June. But as long as I'm here, I might as well make an attempt to prove that even though I'm officially old, I'm up to date with the latest headlines, and well aware of the relevant issues of the day. Recently, the L.A. Times, (aka, the little sister of the N. Y. Times), printed an article having to do with late night TV's nightly group of so called comedians. Missing of course, is any mention of the show that dwarfs all others. When it comes from true viewership of the 11 PM to 1 AM time slot nation wide. The television audience for the Gutfeld show have not seen these types of ratings since the days of The Tonight Show and the master, Johnny Carson. We miss relaxing after a hard day, we miss you Johnny!
I won't claim to have read the article, but apparently the article made an attempt to shed a little light with each of the four or five men whom the writer deemed important, and to rate them in a way of popularity. I'll stick my neck out and assume that Steven Colbert would be the leader of these late night parrots. Since Trump left office, they are all lost as to any humorous subject matter. Colbert dancing as a hypodermic needle to help pitch the Covid panic so needed as a fear factor for the left, is probably as good as these hacks get.This little skit was probably the highlight bit of these late night losers. So in lock step of the prescribed allowable humor are these men, that without the picture, you couldn't tell one from the other. Comedy is supposed to be cutting edge, but for these clowns its always the same lack of anything truly funny. So calculated and redundant, that most just mail it in now, as for them, it is no longer comedy, but straight propaganda.
The reasoning of course is because Gutfeld airs nightly at 11 Eastern on the much feared Fox news. Yes, the same Fox news that liberals are threatened with expulsion from the club if they dare to watch it. The sad fact for the dancing bears on the other channels is that because they can no longer do what they are over paid to do. That to bringing eyeballs to the show so the sponsors can hawk their wares. But while they are pushing the same tired observations night after night, most of, including all of their viewers with IQs higher than the common slug, have put on their big boy and big girl pants, and now watch the late night show that trounces all others in ratings, but more importantly, in entertainment value. But because Greg uses the knife of truth, his show remembers what the others have so sadly forgotten. That comedy is only funny when there is an element of truth to the jokes, and that humor, especially the late night fare is intended for adults. It is supposed to be edgy, and by poking fun at the establishment, and in so doing, sometimes exposing their hypocrisy. This is their job as comedians.
Seeing as my platform is a small one, tell a friend, share the news. Looking for some late night yucks, tired of all the propaganda being force fed as comedy by the mindless horde? Follow the ever widening crowd of fully awake Americans and be entertained by Greg and his crew of insightful panelists. And while on that channel, you might want to try catching up to the reality outside, and watch the news.
