I wholeheartedly missed his narrative on the last few election cycles. Nobody clicked like him on CC, Colbert is close but still on NBC which waters down content

Colbert is on CBS, but I agree, he is watered down. NBC had Jimmy Fallon who... Well let's not talk about him, But NBC also has Seen Myers and I think his closer look segments are on par with the old days of the daily show. He can get away without being watered down since he's on later.

Seth Meyers (lol, look at us, a couple of cards!) yeah His Closer look is great, I think he and John Oliver had the best shows duing the pandemic.

Am I the only one who finds Colbert not funny at all? I can't believe it's not laughtrack.

His show was funny on comedy central. He's pretty boring as a late night host though.

Late night host is just a dated genre all around, I've never liked any of them much no matter how much I like the hosts outside of that kind of show.

it's mainstream late night writing... The Colbert Repor(t) was top notch
