    Lol does anyone watch late night comedy anymore in reality? Like at this point 85% of the viewership has to be TiVo boxes people never bothered disconnecting

      My brother likes Conan, but Conan has avoided this shit more from what I've gathered.

        Conan is on record that it's stupid that all comedians are obligated to make political jokes about the twenty four news cycle and that he prefers formats that let him produce content that is more evergreen.

        Tbh Conan's politics as a working-class Harvard come-up are pretty spotty at best and probably worse than Kimmel's at this point, but at least I can mostly just tune them out and focus on what he does best: anachronistic vaudeville schtick, broad caricatures of the millennium lifestyle, and hammy Armenian jokes directed at his personal assistant/sidekick.

          and that's why I would say Conan's as decent a centrist with his status as you could expect.

          unfortunately, I listen to his podcast https://omny.fm/shows/conan-o-brien-needs-a-friend/ron-reagan

        Conan is good, much more tolerable than the other late night hosts. His comedy doesn't seem forced and the Conan remotes are a great watch.

      The last good loght night talk show era was Craig Ferguson. Conan's decent but hes a shadow of his former self and the big chair for Colbert has made him pretty unfunny.
