The Libs destroyed late night comedy. This has been a long time coming, as you know, and it's not a surprise to any of you who have even tried to watch a few minutes for the last decade or so of Colbert show, Fallon Show, Kimmel show. There's others too, but they're even lesser players. And all this, you know, it's on the one hand it's great because these guys are getting their just desserts by getting canceled. But on the other side, it's a shame. I grew up watching Jay Leno. For decades, late night TV was this beautiful bipartisan escape. Johnny Carson made fun of everybody. David Letterman, well, he's a jerk and a lib. So I never liked Letterman. But you know, Jay Leno was just funny. He would take a little shot at both sides. But I watched a little bit of Leno growing up, but you could certainly turn it on and expect that the primary purpose was comedy. But then the lib TV execs handed the keys to this new generation of late night clowns. But worst among clowns, they're not funny. Stephen Colbert is the chief example of this. He drove the whole thing off a cliff into a ditch of smug one note trump derangement theater. So as Colbert waves goodbye to the Late show on May 21, we get to watch the farewell tour of a guy who didn't build anything. In fact, he was gifted a throne. And then he turned it into a participation trophy. Just showed up, did the bare minimum. And let's start with that obvious point. These people didn't even build these platforms. They were given them. And I'm somebody who knows something about this. I didn't build the 570 radio stations by any stretch. And even the syndication and the power of the 12 to 3 radio slot. That was Rush Limbaugh. But when we were given the opportunity, Clay and I, to try and follow on with Russia's mission, we did so with respect and we did so with fealty to the original idea, which was to give great and insightful conservative political commentary. These guys were supposed to make you laugh, and instead they just became nasty. They became angry Trump, deranged lib propagandists, and, you know, they didn't build these platforms. Like I said, CBS didn't discover Colbert in a comedy club and say, oh, this guy's a genius. Let's give him the Ed Sullivan Theater. They handed the Late show to him after decades of Letterman being very successful at this. Now, like I said, I'm not a Letterman guy. He's. He's an annoying, smug lib too. But he did it. He did at least have tremendous success in what he did. But Colbert was a guy doing a character on Comedy Central and the only funny thing he ever did was pretending to be a funny or conservative. So sure enough, Colbert has managed to ruin this and now he's going on some whiny, self congratulatory farewell tour. But, you know, Kimmel is just as. In fact, Kimmel's, I think worse, Kimmel's a dumber version of Colbert. Kimmel is just Colbert with 10 less IQ points. Fallon. Eh, eh. And then there's some others as well. Fallon, I think, is the least politically annoying of all of them. But the point here is that they used to be a place where people could go to relax and laugh before they went to bed at night in America. And this was destroyed. People actually turned these channels on to be entertained, not to be lectured by half wits or the staff writing for the half wits. Colbert's whole rum was like watching someone inherit a classical music car and then, sorry, classic muscle car, and then wrap it around a tree and then yell that it's because democracy died in darkness. He took a show that was supposed to be fun and made it feel like a reeducation camp every night. Monologue, Trump, bad Trump, orange Trump Hitler. Audience claps like trained seals. And then the guests come on, they do the bit about how brave they are. Oh, they're so brave for criticizing the guy that more than half the country voted for. Rinse, repeat. But it didn't even work. The thing is, Letterman's shtick was smug lib, but at least it worked at the time. So you got to give credit where it's due. The guy got ratings and was very successful. He's a jerk, as you know, in his personal life as well. But we'll put that aside. And so now we have a guy who's a failure doing a farewell lap. So Colbert hits the audience with this. Next year will be our last season. The network will be ending the late show in May. That was the announcement initially. And he booed, rather the audience booed and then said when he announced this, I share your feelings. It's not just the end of the show, he said, but it's the end of a late show on cbs. I am not being replaced. This is all just going away. This is not the fault of the execs. This is the reality of the business that he's in and that he was failing at that business. And he decided he was no longer going to be funny. He was no longer going to be charming. He was going to be a smug, annoying, low testosterone lib on television. And it was pathetic, the whole thing. So I think it's. It's great to see reality catching up here. Uh, and yeah, so I'm. I am celebrating the cancellation of the. What is it? The late. The late show, the tonight, what, Whatever. That. It's all the same stuff to me. I mean, I always thought these things were kind of overrated in the first place, but nonetheless. Our sponsor is Birch Gold. Look, if you've been thinking about gold, now is the time to get into it. If you already have some gold, time to get some more Birch Gold group.

You know, they didn't just ruin their own shows, the whole lot of them. Of course, all due credit to Greg Gutfeld who built a completely successful late night program which is right of center in its view, but has left Us on too. And is funny. Really does try to just be funny, which is why it does so well. But I'm considering that's a different thing and that's under the Fox News umbrella. These late night network guys. It just was the destruction of the format that was so sad to watch. The abandonment of what is really their. The mission of a comedian, which is to make people laugh. Colbert turned his platform into a nightly DNC press release with better lighting. That's all it was. And then the other clowns all followed him. Cause initially it worked. You got to remember that initially there was a little bit of a rating spike from this, but you had Kimmel's tears and Myers smug smirks and John Oliver, oh, I'm from England, but now I'm going to lecture people and curse from about politics in America. The guy is horrible, honestly. And again, they were gifted these slots by executives who just decided that they liked them. They got picked for these things by people who were in positions of authority. My point is that they didn't have. And you might say, oh, well, like, you know, you and Clay. Yeah, Clay and I both had to build successful station by station radio programs over years, over, over, over a decade. And in both of our cases, proven success, proven audience. Proven success, proven audience. I got syndicated 6 to 9 before I got syndicated 6 to 9pm before I got syndicated 12 to 3. Clay was syndicated like 6 to 9am before he got syndicated 12 to 3. So that's really the one of the key differences here. These guys were just handed this stuff. Handed it. Jimmy Kimmel was on the man show before. You're gonna tell me there weren't more talented comedians in America for the job, but I'm sure he sang the required tune behind closed doors to his lib paymasters. So let's be real about what they destroyed though. Late night TV used to be something that Americans could share as appointment television. Families, couples, shift workers unwinding with something sharp but fair and going after both sides and really meant to make people laugh first and foremost. But Colbert Co. Made it preachy, predictable and petty. They mocked half the country relentlessly while pretending they were the brave truth tellers speaking truth to, to power. The guy with a staff of like 30 making tens of millions a year, he was getting wildly overpaid, by the way, for the kind of ratings he was actually bringing. And it's just wild, you know, I mean, Colbert also recently said, I can finally speak unvarnished truth to power. I don't care for him. Doesn't Seem to have the skill set now. He's really letting loose. I mean, give me a break, my friends. The show is going away. These hosts all act like they've built empires and this is something that they deserve. They're lucky. They're lucky. After all of this, they were given enormous platforms with enormous paychecks. And not only did they fail, and this is, I think, the key point, fail their audiences, obviously, and that's why their audiences were dwindling, but they also failed their craft, which I think for people of any profession can understand is, is its own. Its own level of, of disgrace. You know, that they really stop being comedians. They have a whole staff of people who can write jokes for them and do write jokes for them every day, but instead it just all turned into anti Trump, anti Trump. Jimmy Kimmel crying because some guy on a hunt shot a lion in Africa. Remember that? Oh, Cecil the lion, dude. There are. There are lions and elephants and they're eating each other. Every day one lion gets shot in Africa. This guy's crying. He's a blubbering baby. He's an imbecile. So it's not a surprise that these, that these guys weren't able to draw the kind of audience necessary to sustain the shifts the shows that they were handed. But it really does bother me. I wish comedy was something that we could all almost like sports. Now I sound like clay. I wish we could all agree that comedy is really just meant to be funny and meant to give people lightness and entertainment and obviously to humor them in all senses. So that was something we lost because of the woke mind virus. The woke mind virus burrowed so deeply in that even entertainment executives ceased to do jokes with propaganda, and it became propaganda with jokes. Right? The focus shifted and that was the death of all of this. But I say good riddance to it. The late night skold, Colbert, Kimmel, the low IQ buffoon. The biggest. The biggest stages given to them. The best writers, cushiest gig, all gifted to them by ideologically aligned executives. I might add in the TV business, names that you don't know, but people that get to make these determinations, and they squandered it on smugness. So they are killing comedy in this process. But now the good news is you've got people like Nate Bargazzi. You've got others out there who have just made a return to comedy their calling card. They have done everything they can to be as funny as they can and to entertain the largest possible audience and to do so in a way where anyone can show up and laugh. And it's meant for anyone to show up and laugh. And in that sense, here's a word, lives love. It's inclusive. Say inclusive comedy is actually a good thing. Comedy meant for anyone to laugh at. So I think that we're actually entering a great era of comedy now because of the streaming platforms. And when I say I don't mean Netflix necessarily, although there's that. But also just being able to put stuff online, people on little clips of, on TikTok and X, their jokes going out there, people getting notoriety. That's how I've learned about some of the biggest comedians out there right now, is I saw a joke or two of theirs. I think about Shane Gillis, I mean, his beautiful dogs. That whole thing is still one of the funniest comedy bits that I, that I can remember. Nate Bargazzi is amazing. There's so many, really, you know, I think Tom Segura is very funny. There's so many really gifted comedians out there that it's just a shame that they. And then you think they've done the same thing, I might add, with Saturday Night Live. Saturday Night Live has been destroyed the same way. It's just woke trash. You'll notice once in a while, once every six months, Saturday Night Live will just like do something to be funny. And it actually hits and it's clever and everyone praises it and says, oh, wow, that's amazing. They could try to do that every weekend. They don't even try. It's all, you know, trump bad, orange man bad. And it's pathetic to watch. So I'm, I'm glad that there's been changes made and that the marketplace has spoken very, very clearly on this. All right, our sponsor here is Super Sure. Here's a question. How many brokers does it take to insure your business? Well, like most business owners, way too many. And it's super complicated.
