It’s at times like these, where late-night ‘comedy’ shows have to pause because nobody is writing jokes for them, that I am reminded that none of them are funny in their own right. Colbert, Fallon, Kimmel, Meyers … they just read the words someone else writes.
And gosh, like the rest of you I’m all sorts of sad and torn up over the idea that I can’t watch new episodes of these shows.
Heh.
HA.
HA HA HA HA.
I’m so kidding. You guys, I don’t think I’ve watched a late-night comedy show since David Letterman, and even then, it was very rare. Maybe if they went back to telling jokes? The activism nonsense is really and truly so damn boring – we get enough of that in every other facet of our daily lives.
Just entertain us, ya’ know? Say actual funny stuff.
Enough lecturing.
Late-Night Shows To Shut Down Immediately After Strike Called https://t.co/8qw7g9th8t pic.twitter.com/boN3ieucHX

From Deadline Hollywood:
Nightly talk shows including The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, are set to go dark starting on Tuesday after writers agreed to strike.
Late Night with Seth Meyers and The Daily Show, which had correspondent Dulcé Sloan host this week, also will be hit. The Late Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Tonight Show and Late Night will officially be in re-runs now, waiting on what Comedy Central will do with The Daily Show.
Weekly shows as Saturday Night Live, Real Time with Bill Maher and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver will be similarly impacted. The two HBO shows will shut down, although a final decision on SNL is expected to come later in the week.
Note, Greg Gutfeld is not pausing his show because GREG IS ACTUALLY FUNNY.
Just sayin’.

Shows hosted by comedians who forgot how to write their own jokes years ago.

I don’t see Gutfeld mentioned in this list… they keep forgetting about the #1 late night show. I wonder why. 🤷♀️🤔

Probably because he’s funny AND he comes up with his own content.
Just when you are starting to think there's nothing good going on anywhere in the world….

Right? We must always look for the good.
