    Carson's show is now so far removed from any of the current late night efforts. In its heyday, it was appointment television. There was no TiVo or VoD or even catching Letterman on VHS from the previous night. You stayed up for all ninety minutes of Johnny and he was worth it.
    His guests came to talk and entertain not only to plug their book or film. In fact the great ones had no projects to sell. People like Jimmy Stewart or Buddy Hackett just told great funny stories and the time flew by.
    When Johnny bombed with a gag it was often more funny *because* he'd take it square to the chin. I can remember dozens of decades-old Carson classic segments but, after six months typically, it's pressing to recall five memorable bits from all the other hosts in their entire history all in total.
    Disposables all.

      @@jonathanryals9934 Your prediction is wrong xD You do realise Colbert alone got a HUGE boost in ratings when he started going all in on politics? He was struggling in his first year not focusing so much on political comedy, ratings were flagging badly, he switched back to politics and he shot to number one in late night. I believe he's STILL the number one late night show right now if not very close to it.
      So how can you pretend it isn't what people want? Rating increases equal more people wanting the product. Even you gave them a youtube view just to come here and complain. What about Fallon? He avoids politics mostly yet his show has lost LOADS of viewers this past 2 years. By your logic he'd be most popular of all.

      Skankhunt42 It’s all about Trumptards not being able to take a joke, just like their Dear Leader. People who are intelligent and honest can allow some self deprecation (see previous Washington Correspondents’ events.) Totalitarian corrupt despots cannot allow any joking because it is disrespectful to their fragile egos. Hence the Trumptards’ inability to tolerate any “political” humor. They cannot tolerate making fun of their fragile dictator any more than they can admit that he babbles incoherently and wouldn’t know the truth if he accidentally told it himself.
