Over the last decade, late night shows (with the single exception of Greg Gutfeld) have become nothing more than infomercials for the Democrat party.
It has gotten to the point where almost the only guests on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert are Democrat politicians and hosts from CNN or MSNBC.
Millions of Americans have been turned off and have tuned out. As a result, many of these shows are going to be phased out eventually.
The New York Post reports: The end is nigh for snoozefest late-night talk shows
In an interview this week, Jimmy Kimmel conceded that the end is nigh for late-night talk shows.

Watched Paar, Carson, Letterman, Leno, and several of the others. Stopped when it was just a format for bashing the political right.

I haven't watched since Johnny Carson either. I would have kept watching if Joan Rivers had succeeded Carson.

I stopped watching the late-night shows when Johnny Carson retired from the Tonight Show. I did catch some of Leno's shows, but lost interest with his format. The political satire got really old with Leno's show.

Let's hope it doesn't take another 10 years for the networks to care that no one is watching.

I suppose that you would have had to watch them in order to miss them.

I do have Gutfeld on my don't miss list.
Yeah, since Leno left, the alphabets talk shows have been worthless. And Carson, over 30 years later, is still funny.

Add SNL to the list.
Gutfeld’s 10pm show is actually funny unlike these tedious network shows.

I've always had to get up early in the morning, so I rarely watched late night talk shows. The few clips I saw of Johnny Carson were hilarious. I didn't see much of Jay Leno. I saw more of him on _Home Improvement_ than on late night TV. I also watched a bit of Letterman, until he got mean, then stopped.

Good and take The View with you. I am surprised that anyone actually watches the hags on The View.

I watched Carson and then Leno for a little while, but nothing since then. All the shows since then have just been poor copies of Carson anyway.

I remember when Saturday Night Live was funny. Even Al Franken was funny.

All anyone wanted to do at the end of a long day was chill out and laugh
after a very hard day's work. The privileged late night liberal elitist ruined
an American institution by lying to our face that we were fools for wanting a future
that was rewarded for hard work and a love for our country.

Gutfeld is unapologetically to the right, so the problem is clearly the leftism of the dying late night shows. They think they're cool, but they're obviously not. Hopefully, it won't take ten years for them to phase out. May they be yanked and that right so quickly.

Much like the previous comments, I watched Johnny Carson and then Leno, Conan O'Brian and occasionally Letterman. After they retired, I quit and never went back. I have better things to do with my time than sit in my own living room and have my politics, religious beliefs and, frankly, my intelligence insulted on a nightly basis by a bunch of morons whose collective intelligence couldn't best a classroom of 2nd graders!!

Why wait 10 years, Kimmel? Pull the plug on you clowns, now. Glad I grew up during the golden years of late night t.v. Johnny Carson, the king, Dick Cavett was good in his own way.

I used to catch Leno's show every now and then..... he was OK, and sometimes very good.
I tried watching Letterman once or twice... it was so stupid, I could feel my brain cells dying as I watched.
I need ALL my brain, so I stopped watching out of self-preservation.
As for the present crop on the Lamestreams.... Eeeewwwww! Just Eeeeeewwwww!

"These new late night hosts are excluding more than half of the country"
They are not just excluding us, they are alienating us. WE are the targets of their biased jokes and infantile, echo chamber interviews. They feel safe because they don't have direct accountability to us. As long as the network bosses and the corporate sponsors are OK with them, they are safe.
However, corporations are noting that half of the audience for their products are not watching. We are not "reading their stuff". That translates into sales and $$$ lost, just like the Legacy Media are losing audience and bleeding money. Corporations may be reaching us through other venues so the damage is moderated but eventually the shrinking "late night" audience will kill those shows.
This process has been repeated for a LONG time. Liberal efforts on radio and TV, mostly are failures. Why? Because they are shrill and preachy, like "The View". Even if you are of like mind, listening to Joy and Whoopy becomes quickly painful.

I watch the late-night shows from years ago on You Tube. Beats the hell out of the nonsense that they put on now, and the fact that Gutfeld is beating them just shows how awful they have become. Even Gutfeld isn't all that entertaining most of the time.

I remember as a kid waking up late at night and catching my dad coming home from the nightshift watching Johnny Carson cracking up because of Rodney Dangerfield's jokes. Then me coming off of a late-night security watch at my first Naval duty station and seeing Carson on tv. Instead of "hitting the rack" I stayed up to watch his show. After he retired, I watched Leno, Letterman and O'Brien then when they retired or moved on that was it. Now the latest crop of late-night weeds are all in politically. Especially dolts Kimmel and Colbert. The latter coming in live at the DNC gag-fest with Hillary Clinton aka the PIAPS as his first guest. The only reason why I know that is because my kids like that dumb show Big Brother. I read that insufferable clod James Corden retired and the Kimmel and company need to be gone sooner rather than later.
