How Late-Night TV Became a Left-Wing Echo Chamber Nobody’s Watching

Once a titan of ratings, these shows now teeter on the edge of irrelevance, largely due to self-inflicted wounds by the Left. The cancellation of CBS’s The Late Show is attributed not to financial issues but to Stephen Colbert’s radical shift that alienated its core audience. His nightly broadcasts morphed into political rants rather than entertainment.Similarly, Trevor Noah’s legacy on The Daily Show exemplifies this shift, as he lost a staggering 75% of his viewership during his run. These changes reflect a deeper cultural trend—ideological adherence overshadowing entertainment value. Ratings tell the dismantling story: Colbert's audience shrinkage mirrors a significant downfall, while Kimmel’s decline suggests a bleak future for the genre. Ultimately, audiences crave genuine humor, not dogmatic lectures, signaling a potential reckoning for late-night television.
