We have to let go of the idea that the MSM is still "news" that deserves our respect and attention. It's an abusive ex-boyfriend who's still trying to gaslight us.
Simpsons writer Mike Reiss once said that a sense of humor is not the ability to laugh at a joke, it’s the ability to laugh at *yourself*, which neatly explains why conservatives are not now, nor will they ever be, funny.
They call him a “late night host” when his show airs at 10pm. They’re trying to align him, in the minds of readers, w Carson, Letterman & today’s celebrated (actual) comedians.
Of course, those dumbasses never thought to put an exclamation point after their names so maybe they were never great.
The other thing that irritates me about anyone trying to vaunt this guy as a legit late-night host is if you want a true late-night host, you have several to take or leave, to your taste, style, & format. If you want one steeped in right-wingism, there’s…him—so natch all other viewers funnel there.
and the show is just so terrible. It's a bunch of people who are loudly complaining about things they don't understand and have no interest trying to understand. It's like hearing a "yo mamma" joke every night told slightly differently.

You might want to tune up your resume.
Narcissism is anathema to comedy.
