Here’s a brief update on the state of late-night “comedy” shows using two different hosts as examples.
Up first we have Stephen Colbert trying his best to get Sen. Chuck Schumer to commit to ending the filibuster. Late-night “comedy” activism at its finest:
A Late Show ~ @SenSchumer discusses the future of the filibuster.

Maybe the FCC should require tags at the end of late-night “comedy” shows that say “We’re the Democrats, and we approve this message.”
David Mann ~ Yes, this is what people want when they watch late night talk shows: discussions with Chuck Schumer about the filibuster.
Brendan Karvelis ~ I miss when late night shows were actually comedy.
THAT was a LONG time ago![/b]
David Rutz ~ Colbert being basically another hour of MSNBC for the past five years is funny in a sad way.
Pissed Pat ~ Nope, can't imagine why the late-night audience has dwindled away to a fraction of its former size.
Well, late-night has that in common with MSNBC & CNN - no audience.
Homer ~ There's really no difference between this and @jaketapper.
Well, Jake Tapper is funnier ... unintentionally, of course ... but, still.
Kimberley Strassel ~ Nice to hear someone say “representative democracy”. Next up on learning curve: “federalist system." Of which Senate is a key part.
Montgomery Q. Loehlein ~ The
Senate
Represents
States
Not
People!
And speaking of Senate representation, Seth Meyers tried to help out the Democrats on that issue:
Eddie Zipperer ~ Seth Meyers discovered that Senate representation isn't proportional, and he thinks it's a huge scandal. Meanwhile, the rest of us refer to it as "the Great Compromise."

Do they really not know the difference between the intent of the House vs. the Senate?
Eddie Zipperer ~ Maybe comedians shouldn't try to be political pundits if they don't understand the most basic concepts of government. The difference between the House and Senate is about as basic as it gets. Every Senator represents the same number of states: one.
Dr. Jack Lynx ~ Tune in next week when Seth learns how a bill become a law.
One thing’s for sure:
dougie sonks ~ Late night shows are CNN reruns. I actually used to enjoy watching late shows when I was a kid. They were funny.
Ah, the good old days!
