Describe it this way. "While some people make genuinely good jobs at Trump, a large majority of them are made to have the audience cheer in agreement, not laugh because it is funny."

It’s also very bad at actually digging at Trump himself. Like yeah, he’s got a shitty fake tan, and he has small hands... is that it? Like yeah, a lot of people have those. That’s not why Trump sucks.

@@DeathnoteBB It always bothers me when people do shit like that. Like, there are literally SO many reasons to hate and insult him, why pick something boring? It's unoriginal, unfunny, and just kinda sad. It makes the people insulting him look stupid, rather than the idiot himself, which is counterproductive. There are so many legitimate and original jabs that could be made- but most people opt the easy way out.

@@TheHickGamer These are several articles. Most of them have links. Most of them also have some subjective matter. Unfortunately, in today's news, subjective content is pretty much unavoidable. I've tried to pick sources with mainly objective content and a fair amount of evidence. The last link is my personal favorite. In summary: he is ignorant. He doesn't not know how to filter himself or close his mouth. He ignores the words of those more informed than him and speaks mainly for shock value. He constantly insults Mexicans and those of other races, separating children from their parents at the border. He uses rude an unprofessional language when dealing with his enemies and yet somehow is still unable to make a coherent argument against them. He has admittedly wanted to rape several women, and date his OWN DAUGHTER. He cheated on his pregnant wife. He made it legal to discriminate against someone for their gender identity. Regardless of your political views, this man is utterly unable to be professional, fact-check himself, or admit any fault. He even insults America itself a decent amount. Perhaps hate is the wrong word; he does not deserve to be hated by every American, but he definitely does not deserve a seat in any office, let alone the highest in the country. I hope this has been sufficient. If not, I'm happy to do whatever it takes to convince you. The last thing we need is another MAGA drone unwilling to look critically at who they're supporting simply because "at least he's not a democrat". Party loyalty will be the death of us all.

This comment only became more true as corrections has descended into absolute chaos

[@RiveTheRat]

Not sure if John Oliver counts as traditional late night, but his transition to remote filming was the most graceful of all of the hosts. The moment the Last Week Tonight crew moved to remote workflow, John Oliver somehow had the best quality audio and video right from the get go, and his show benefited from not having an audience a lot. All thanks to his team helping him set up a professional camera and audio setup over Zoom. And they still somehow managed to do their trademark stunts that got attention on social media!

[@beckgh7270]

not to mention how quickly he adapted to telling jokes w/o an audience! after the first two remote shows his delivery felt basically the same as in studio which is incredibly impressive to me

[@shelbyb9965]

100% agree. John and his team did a great job transitioning! It was a little jarring at first hearing him do his normal pause for laughter after jokes but he's since remedied that and it's honestly pretty seamless now.

[@jerrodshack7610]

I'll be honest, it's better without the audience. The show is at its best when it does big informative episodes on a topic with a bit of humor mixed in. It was annoying when he'd make a decent joke and the crowd would lose their shit for 30 seconds. Now it's more like a documentary or video essay.

[@wabschall]

So I do miss the big bits that use to happen, like the giant cake, the squirrel and the check, and of course the musical number, I agree whole heartedly. I think there is a difference though, Last Week Tonight is more of an essay type of show, rather than straight late night show. Sort of a combination of 20/20 and The Late Show IMO. They only focus on 1 topic a week, any guests are directly related to that topic, usually they are referenced in the episode as an expert or a anecdote to drive the point, and all bits are either A) just 1 bit joke usually making fun of a bad person who is the main subject of the episode, or B) Some ridiculous act of charity also usually to insult someone. (btw it may seem like I'm ragging on the show, but I very much enjoy it, just trying to think objectively)

Conan’s success through all of this chaos makes me think of how like 2-3 years ago he redesigned his show format & aesthetics to make it shorter and his team started making the show more digitally accessible. He went as far as cutting the show time in half because of how easy it is to lose viewers attention, but a lot of media sites saw this change as conan "dying out" or "downgrading" when it was literally the opposite. He adapted to the times because he realized how outdated the old late night format was and it’s continuing to work in his favor. Even with the podcast too. He knows his audience which is why it’s no surprise to me how well he’s been doing through this. You could put that man on an island by himself with no writers, no Andy, no Sona, no nothing and he’d still find a way to excel.

Seth, literally the also-ran of the late-night scene, shone so, SO brightly during quarantine. He, his jokes, and the Monty Python style madness that was his monologue, anything in the attic, all the shitposting he discovered he could he could do when he uploaded solely on KZbin was just amazing. The comments were just full of people begging him not to go back to what he used to do. Every single day. But out the madness came the clarity and hilarity that still is A Closer Look. Still the best segment in late night. Still gets hundreds of thousands of views within minutes of upload. Yeah, you probably have to be at least central left to enjoy it, but goddamn it’s fuckin’ funny. There’s an art to making something seem off-the-cuff when you wrote some of it and have rehearsed it at least twice. All the other late night dudes seem like robots reading their main segment, but Seth always has that slightly crazy still in quarantine quality when he’s doing A Closer Look. I appreciate it is all I’m saying. Give me a half-hour Closer Look every other day and I’ll be a happy man is all I’m saying.

It's interesting to find nuggets of gold like this from the days of the pandemic. Like, "Do I, in 2023, need to care about the transformation of Late Night TV in 2020 due to the pandemic?" No, not really, but it's cool to see. It reminds me of...a different time in my life. I don't miss being stuck inside with the fear of not knowing what the heck was truly going on in the world. I do miss how close I got to my family though. It turned out to be a unique time to work on self-improvement (whatever form have you). Life is different now. People seem to want to use any reason they can to "arm themselves to fight" with whatever battle they want that week/month or because "a celebrity/influencer told me to" (with little to no true factual information). Even in my own little spiel, I can feel myself getting defensive and upset. The pandemic was difficult for me, as it was for many other people. There are people out there still willing to listen to reason. Just because we may not see eye-to-eye on how the world works, doesn't mean we can't talk about it respectfully to one another. It won't always be holding hands and singing kumbaya levels of conversation, but I think it's a good muscle to workout at the very least. Nuance is my word for 2023.

I'm glad Seth is getting appreciated for his tomfoolery. Like Seth makes so many terrible dad jokes but they're all so good. And I really love the cinematic universe he's created during quarantine. Because before I really looked forward to a closer look. But now I get extremely excited the moment I get a notification.

[@a.k.momfriend5734]

I think Seth gets looked over a lot overall. He (like Conan) is really good at involving his writers in the show and chose people who have some sort of performing background intentionally. His tone and perspective is super informed and consistent. Also Amber Ruffin is a national treasure.

[@lackingmyface]

It's too bad that not many knew or know the gem called The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. The fact that he always tore the scripts right before his guests take a seat will always be fantastic. He always made his guests just talk whatever they wanna talk about and nothing about what they were supposed to promote.

[@orchdork775]

Seth's dumb bits make me so damn happy. I love how his show has adapted over the last few months, and I hope it stays that way 😊

[@pianomail]

Even Conan's stuff from home on his computer with the shitty webcam is hilarious. He's one of the few late night hosts that actually has good comedic timing. It helps that Andy also has very good timing and the bit with Andy in the audience is just hysterical.

I really think channels like Hot Ones have completely shifted the way interviews should be done, I mean, how many times have we heard a guest on that show genuinely say "that's a great question." And not in a patronizing way, Hot Ones legitimately thinks of great questions to ask their guests. Late night could learn a lot from them.

[@speroentertainment6990]

bro i totally agree with the whole "orange man bad" comedy being terrible. I like the show, but those kind of jokes are just so lame.

[@xoxoRanniiaaxoxo]

- jokes about him can be funny if they are original and up to date. for example, jokes about that recent interview he did where he couldn’t understand how statistics worked are funny. the “lol trump is a cheeto man” jokes aren’t because it’s like yeah he’s orange, we get it.

[@xoxoRanniiaaxoxo]

[@beckgh7270]

trevor did so incredibly well w the transition. i honestly prefer him filming remotely, if only bc he‘s able to be a bit more polished and well edited. getting away from the traditional live show feeling of late night rly benefited him and i hope he keeps some of that whenever they go back to the studio again.

[@ashikjaman1940]

Same with Hassan (yes I know it's because his show is Netflix only). Patriot Act quarantine was fucking awesome

[@Jack-rk7jc]

Late night is really dependant on the hosts personality. Which is why so many are fake. I don't think Noah is fake, but muchlike colbert, they're overly political. They're trying to be the news when they should just be entertainers having an interesting conversation. This is why conan is my favorite. Colbert and Noah are charming but again... who wants to hear the same lazy orange-man-bad joke 1000 times.

[@doperagu8471]

@@Jack-rk7jc well The Daily Show is a news show, so it makes sense that he mainly discusses news items. Colbert got his start on the Daily Show and has always had a political edge so it's also not surprising that his show has a political side, especially right now. But I get you, sometimes you don't want to hear about politics.

[@littlebilly6946]

I think the fact that these shows got arguably better due to the situation shows how much more creative and talented these guys are than their shows lead us to believe. They all need to have more freedom over what they do on their shows that’s why Conans show is so much better than any late night show

[@IdaliaMay]

I love Colbert and Seth not being in front of an audience. I think these formats should stay this way going forward. Quarantine or not. They're my two favorite late night hosts.

[@novaspion2328]

I'm so glad Eddy caused a global pandemic and changed Late Night for the better

[@lydiabliss4473]

another interesting thing is how some of these shows have even embraced KZbin style editing. for example, if you watch any recent clips of Trevor Noah on the daily show, the have integrated things like punch-ins and adding clip art, very similar to a lot of commentary channels. especially for the daily show, I feels really fitting and I enjoy the change.

[@emmabales3468]

I hadn't been keeping with Conan's show and I actually laughed out loud when it cut to that wide shot of Andy alone in the back. That's effing genius. Also, I got my 2020 Yikes shirt and it's *chef's kiss*

[@ArielGonzalez1]

i love the fact that a lot of people on the internet still loving conan with no exception. also, i love that conan is putting the rate way higher and forcing the other hosts to follow him. and the parody of the classic format is just fantastic. if he gives us some of this and more remotes on his new show on hbo max next year, he will probably win all the possible emmys for this tv show format

[@jamesd7678]

I’ve been preaching for YEARS to my friends that Conan is THE best and always will be. It feels so good to have my thoughts reaffirmed.

[@Jack-rk7jc]

Conan is a gift. He's my favorite late night host too, and man is he adaptable. He's always changing the show and I don't think he's ever gone backwards. Except maybe for the year he hosted the tonight show between leno, ironically. Keeping the tonight show might've made him more of household name, but at the cost of his authenticity and personality potentially being pushed out.

[@GBEATLES]

I highly reccommend looking up Craig Ferguson, Corden's predecessor. He actively tried to deconstruct the late night format and it was a joy to watch.

[@UncleEbenezer77]

Letterman did the same thing w Late Night in the 80s.

[@UncleEbenezer77]

Debjyoti Samaddar Definitely so...Conan was/is very innovative. Dave created a lot but also borrowed quite a bit, which he gave credit, especially to Steve Allen and Carson. Most late night hosts created original content in one way or another...Tho I wouldn't say that about Leno, who pretty much stole every bit (And many jokes).

HBO: Everyone is making sets at their house, do you want to- John Oliver: Give me a void or I'll leave the show HBO: I mean sure, why not, we already made you a musical number about a coal barren

[@ob2kenobi388]

Definitely what smoothened John Oliver's transition to the internet was his approach to jokes. From the bad clips I've seen of other hosts, their style of comedy was very much dependent on there being an audience laughing in the background throughout. Oliver's style has always been to make a joke, then keep going regardless of if the audience laughs or not. He'll never awkwardly pause for a "laugh track", he only pauses _after_ the laughter has begun, and usually only if it's drowning him out. If there's no audience, it doesn't really affect the show. He still just keeps talking like he always did. If you laugh, great. If you don't, he moves on.

[@mkohanek]

I knew exactly what you were going to say about the celebrity interviews, and I agree. Years ago, Craig Ferguson's show had a power outage and was not able to have a studio audience. They went on with the show, and the interviews were amazing because of it. They had actual conversations. I have always wished that audiences would just go away since that. So I think this was a great opportunity to see if that would pan out. I never watch these shows though, so I have no idea if it did, but still I am sure the interviews were better

[@redfin382]
