Colbert has slipped to third place.
What happened?
Two other shows surpassed his ratings.
>>62926035
He was funny as a pretend conservative.
Not so much as an actual liberal.
Still he's doing better than Larry Wilmore. I think there's like 10 people still watching that show.
I kind of figured he'd flounder and it seems like he's on the way out already, but I can't really put a finger on why, exactly. Maybe late night talk is just saturated.
>>62926035
Serious answer: CBS waiting to long to roll out his show. It should have came immediately or soon after Dave's departure. Half a year or whatever audiences time to settle into a groove with the Jimmys, Conan, whomever else.
>>62926059
Thanks
What about Conan?
>>62926119
>Conan
>implying anyone watches him anymore
>>62926035
>brown eyes
he's not fooling anyone
He's too hyperactive and attention-seeking. He speaks over his guests and makes fun of all their serious points.
He's like the male version of Ellen DeGeneres

now, i would've hated seeing craig ferguson become an unapologetic shill but damn i'm sure he'd put on a better show than this
>country of 300 million

Why are these people relevant again?
>>62926266
I like Noah better than Wilmore. When are they gonna dump that human-sized worm with glasses already?
>>62926181
Corden is more popular than Ferguson, really?
>>62926440
because that one spagetti liberal autist you know watches them and won't shut up about it
>>62926487
more viral content brah
silly videos w celebrities
>>62926501
What are you even talking about?
>american "comedy"
>>62926181
Conan never deserved this ;_;

you?

oh
guess that explains fallon's popularity also
>>62926699
You Brits don't even know what humor is.
>>62926487
better lead in makes a big difference
>>62926766
it really does, celebrities humor his quirky antics and play games and are super random and relatable and people love it
62926266
It's hard to avoid a little slippage when you turn off half of your potential audience.
>>62926035
1-hes too liberal (and I say this as a Bernie Sanders supporting liberal) for CBS. It's fine and dandy to be liberal, Letterman was a liberal, but Letterman knew that he needed middle america. Colbert alienates them.
2-no second banana. It worked for the colbert report, but most late night shows are better with a sidekick. Colbert needs to play off a sidekick.
@midnight is the only good late nite show
>>62926181
what a shame, he is more talented than everyone on that list.
>>62927239
and yet he is still a talentless hack
>>62926181
>Conan under carson daly
Ouch

dude free stuff no borders the 1% will pay for it lmao
You'll be down by the Rio Grande on the Day of the Wall.
>>62926487
People are idiots. Ferguson was very highbrow. Shame he's gone, he was fucking hilarious.
>>62926181
Conan gets a LOT of Youtube views. I'm convinced their PR team uses websites like Reddit to make up for the poor TV viewership.
>>62927442
>Ferguson was very highbrow.
...
>>62927406
Ok.
But beyond your reactionary knee jerk response, what did you think of my answer.
>>62926181
Poor Conan, but I can sort of see why. I mostly just watch his stuff on his Youtube channel like the Jordan Schlansky and Clueless Gamer segments, honestly there's just a lot of boring filler for show with a few really great segments sprinkled in between
>>62926035
I assume he didn't bring his writers and also he has to appeal to a wider demographic.
When you have to appeal to everyone you appeal to no one
>>62927532
Who cares, all I know is you want a man who had his microphone taken away from him by two fat black women protesting BLM to lead the country.
>>62927442
>ferguson was very high brow
This is what hipster contrarians and yuros actually believe.
people want to see celebs doing silly shit on shows
not just some interview and shit that makes them feel bad about the world and how shitty it is
>>62927534
He's dropped because he's on a cable network, part of the reason.
Other reason is he's just gotten duller, and as you said, there's a lot of filler. His overseas trip shit he's done recently has been a lot funnier. He should do more of that stuff to get up in the ratings.
>>62926181
>Jimmy Fallon
I guess there's a reason Vanilla is the most popular ice cream flavor as well.
>>62926035
Most of the people who watch late night television are middle aged or older, they don't want to see all the liberal shit he talks about.
>>62926181
So is Fallon funny? Should I watch him?
>>62926724
Yeah that whole drama was bullshit. Leno acted like a passive-aggressive fuckstick the whole time, and the NBC executives were retarded for enabling that and starting a pre-late late show and fucking the whole transition up in the first place.
>>62927549
>>62927406
How does it feel to be the biggest retard in a thread that has an admitted Bernie Sanders supporter? But atleast your viewer ratings are up.
>>62927663
>So is Fallon funny? Should I watch him?
Not as funny as you apparently
>>62927719
So can I have a talk show? I know nothing about anything so I think I'm qualified
>>62927549
So you didn't read the rest of the post?
:(
Can't believe anyone watches Jimmy Falcon
>>62926181
So, we all know the ratings, but which one do you guys think is the least funny/most annoying?
>>62927663
Fallon is typical formulaic "celebrity entertainment" shit. It's purely safe comedy monologues and skits that take no creative risks or originality so that they can guarantee everybody likes it. Problem is, the result is shit. Not to mention Fallon is always faking his enthusiasm for a guest you can tell he doesn't care for.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7RE9_nmoLg
The sort of people who watch these shows work shit jobs and lead shit lives.
They sit on their couches late at night watching tv to forget about the real world.
The last thing they want to see before slipping into unconsciousness is an ultra liberal comedian shouting political talk at them.
Fallon and Kimmel playing with puppies and telling fart jokes makes more sense
>>62927805
>The sort of people who watch these shows work shit jobs and lead shit lives.
You would know a lot about that wouldn't you.
>>62927758

I'd watch a Falcon show

>>62926035
>>What happened?
>>>/v/
It's simple.
Colbert tried to take his brand of humor (punditry with jokes) and convert it into a Late Night show instead of the 11pm, 22 minute show format it's suited for.
Late Night shows are more humor, less opinions, Colbert is the opposite. And the established fanbase isn't going to support him forever, as that audience isn't the type to stay up that late for a TV show.
lmao even letterman was beating kimmel
>>62926181
Is conan a JUST candidate yet?
>>62926181
Wow poor Conan, he should probably be 3rd or 4th on that list because seriously who the fuck likes Fallon or Kimmel
>>62927928
normie millenials love fallon. adults love kimmel and libkeks love oliver
>ALL THE NEGRO SHOWS ARE FAILING
>NO ONE LIKES BLACK PEOPLE
>A BLACK PERSON IS READING THIS POST RIGHT NOW
HAHAHAHA YOUR RACE IS FUCKING TRASH
>>62928474
kimmel is so bad, worse than Fallon. Worse monologue, terrible sketches/ on the street stuff that gets worse year by year, same quality interviewing without as much fake laughter, and constant product placement and sketches based on products (IBM, Star Wars).
I wanted to like kimmel but he's awful. Plus Fallon has based Higgins while Kimmel has the stupidest gimmick sidekick I've seen
>>62928574
pretty sure most of the niggers who visit 4chan on saturday nights at ten thirty east coast time are probably foreigners and therefore somewhat more reasonable niggers
>lol our country is shit
>>62927406
Donald pls go.
>>62926181
>ALL MEN
IF ONLY WOMEN COULD TALK
Nobody cares about Tonight Show anymore
Also Colbert was a satirical commentator not a talk show host, he was never suited to the role
>>62929015
they'd just ramble about their feelings and fashion
Because faux news with satirical comedy is funny. White guilt bullshit plus random celebrity interviews isn't.
Also I remember my dad ditching letterman when he left Late Night because of the mainstream safe jokes bullshit.
>>62929015
Yes jokes about how much of a woman they are and how men are dumb because x and y. can't wait

This. I liked the Colbert report but he never should have been on the Late Show.It should have been Ferguson
Also whatever happened to Chelsea Handler, anyway? People got tired of her shit?
http://nypost.com/2015/11/21/colberts-late-show-has-become-propaganda-for-democrats/
Stephen Colbert turns out to be just as much of an a-hole as “Stephen Colbert.” Viewers have noticed.
After an initial burst of interest spurred by CBS’s big-bucks saturation advertising campaign for “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” the show’s ratings have tanked and it is now running third in late night behind NBC’s Jimmy Fallon and ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel, who rarely has managed second place before.
The reason? A survey by the Hollywood Reporter found that conservative viewers are turning off Colbert in droves. Nearly twice as many Republicans are watching Kimmel as Colbert, who has turned “Late Night” into a sort of wannabe MSNBC show.
The pattern is familiar: When a Democrat is the guest, Colbert is Barbara Walters. When a Republican is on, he turns into Tim Russert.
Colbert is so unremittingly hostile to Republicans that he will shortly find conservative invitees declining to appear. (Except Ted Cruz, who would argue with a tree stump.) That means the Colbert show risks turning into an echo chamber in which viewers doze off as Colbert and his liberal guests beam lovingly at each other like a mother and child.
This can be a bit sick-making to watch. As The Atlantic put it, “Colbert said goodbye to Biden by practically pleading with him to run for president. With Cruz, there was no deadpan, and no praise. ‘I really appreciated you sharing your views with us,’ Colbert said, ‘and good luck with the campaign.’ ”
>>62929477
The irony? Colbert's a registered Republican.
>>62926922
>Breaking News: People in urban areas tend to be more progressive while backwater hicks in the countryside are more conservative
>>62926922
It's worth pointing out that much of that red space is fucking empty, compared to the easily 100-1000x more people jam packed into those blue squares...

He was funny as a fake douche bag. He's insufferable as a real douche bag.
>>62926035
who is this meme?
>>62930140
Yes, shit lives.
Does anyone actually enjoy Jimmy Fallon?
The only reason I could think of even watching his show was because of The Roots.
He's so unfunny and bland.
>>62930237
And yours is any better? You wouldn't be here if it was.
It's a real fucking shame about Conan. I regularly watch his shows and although the writing itself is C to B grade, the man himself is a walking comedy house of genius. His remotes are literally god-tier and everyone in this thread have to go watch his journey to Armenia.
The only actual worthy contender seems to be Kimmel from what I've heard.
Either way, I'M TEAM COCO UNTIL I DIE NIGGAS
On CC, Democrats could laugh at him and Republicans could laugh with him.
On CBS, he's just another boring Democrat and far too smart for the plebs still watching late night.
>>62930277
I agree. It's interesting that the 3 greatest talk show hosts (Letterman, Carson and Conan) all got fucked by NBC.
The network can not be trusted.
why are you people constantly posting about this as though it were surprising?
Why are americans so happy when they see someone fail?
>>62926181
Amazing how few people watch these shows now.
Carson once got 50 million viewers.
>>62930256
Stop projecting.
>>62926035
>ywn watch a new colbert report ever again
that's the only reason I don't watch his new corporate shit show, because all i'll be thinking about is colbert report
>>62926181
>James Corden getting more viewers than Conan
We live in a truly dark time.
>>62930394
Good advice, maybe take it?
>>62930362
To be fair, in Carson's time TV didn't have as many channels and Netflix/the internet didn't exist.
>>62930340
Carson never really got screwed over. I mean yeah, NBC literally pushed him out according to the insiders, but 30 years in an era that arguably was the most eventful and had the stars that literally influenced everything today, I'd say Carson got the best deal. He missed TTS and was mad but realized after a few years that the media went down to absolute shit and was happy he got out before it all happened.
Letterman got screwed, but he screwed himself. He's a genius and such, but he did a lot of jokes at NBC and fucked up at an awards ceremony that contributed to his general downfall over the years. He averaged roughly 7 million viewers for 2 years and then lost to Leno because his asshole schtick (which I personally love) didn't go well with a lot of people.
Conan on the otherhand had every single card stacked against him. The failing economy that made advertisers withdraw a lot of commercials, literal shit lead-in by Jay Leno (doesn't even make sense and shouldn't have happened), and the very short time he had to prove himself made him lose in the end.
>>62927805
The real shame is I think there actually is a demographic for smarter, intellectually driven late night. I've watched old Carson and Jack Parr interviews and they're really interesting. But no network would dare put on something like that again as they treat the American public as idiots.
Conan O'Brien actually does these "Serious Jibber Jabber" segments for Youtube which I find to be insanely good. Just him talking to mostly to authors and historians.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STr9NtF6fco&list=PLVL8S3lUHf0TIbLusugli-_6OhbvqgMvD
Networks are probably right that few people would watch such stuff, but it makes me sad that pop culture has been dumbed down considerably with Jimmy Fallon having more in common with a clown than Johnny Carson.

>>62926035
He's funny as a character, but not as a comic.
Also he is taking the show too seriously, he should just fuck around and see what happens
>>62926181
Fallon and Kimmel are the same person, so much so the whenever I saw either of them I just forgot the others name existed
>>62926035
He's drifting way too far into left field politically and he's pissing off conservative viewers. Letterman was never very political.
>>62929330
It absolutely should have been Ferguson. He was the best thing in late night since Carson.
>>62926181
You know that Conan gets most of his views on the internet and is one of the most popular late night hosts through online views, right?
>>62931263
By my count he's No 3 after the two Jimmy's. But it is true that Conan's strong internet presence helps him a lot.
>>62931172
>Letterman was never very political.
he wasn't to a point, I think he took a leftward turn on toward the end
>>62931245
I loved Ferguson, and I was shocked that he left the late late show
>>62931538
Yeah well as a big fan of David Letterman it's really easy to assume the Dave everyone will remember is the one before 9/11. Honestly his retirement was long overdue. Classic Dave is great.
