At least Colbert keeps sneaking us contraband jokes through the bars. Honestly, late-night monologues feel like mandatory group therapy at this point.

I hope you'll be ok. Because they're probably both going to be gone before too long. David Ellison is going to clean house as soon as the merger goes through.

Well, he prints Emmys and his show doesn't cost $20 million per episode.
It would certainly be hard to justify firing him but that doesn't mean he is safe. The whole point of right wing oligarchs buying twitter and television is to burn billions to influence elections.
Trump seems to hate watch Jimmy Kimmel but he doesn't mention John Oliver much.
I'm hopeful John Oliver makes it though.

I wonder if John Oliver is too cerebral /too high energy for him. I don’t think he’d get half the jokes Oliver does because they are in such rapid fire.

"Jokes," LOL. Colbert stopped being comedy long ago. The only reason any of you care for him is that he validates your political idiocy...which to be fair to you is kinda the only reason some people like Kid Rock.

Just say you do your own research and you don’t like humor, it would’ve been easier.

Imagine faulting people for investigating a subject and reading while thinking you're the intellectual.
> you don’t like humor
I do like humor, which is why I miss the old, pre-propagandist Colbert and can't tolerate cringe-inducing nonsense like *The Vax Scene*, which was embarrassing when it aired and aged like warm milk.

I mean I feel like that’s a different conversation. Like I’m not gonna tell the person at McDonalds “Thanks for handing me my bag, you should get a raise!” Idk I just find it weird people always do this with the most benign stuff. If someone goes above and beyond then I understand. But for the bare basics of their job?

i am really going to miss her Melania segments once Colbert goes off the air next month. because Melania really doesn't say/do a whole lot publicly, this impression to me is kinda like Tina Fey/Sarah Palin, where the quality of the impression and the tics/embellishments that the impersonator uses actually overshadows the actual person. her model face poses and the "ma-husband" word contraction always makes me laugh
