These hosts are isolated. Listen to the young women yelling “woooooo” when he tells such jokes. He is getting rewarding by plants in the audience. The tonight ratings are number 1, so why change.
I can outline tomorrows monologues for you. Mayor of Toronto, Putin, Obama respect (still fresh, and Sarah at c-pac (possible punch line “she could see the Crimea from her hotel room”). And then a few about NYC rats or trash pick up or mayor. Night after night, same old thing.
Nothing about obamacare causing people to pay more or lose insurance, mayor of NYC closing charter schools, Obama on a vacation while no WH tours, anything that makes liberals look like hypocrites
Fairness or balance are not attributes these people seek. Note: letterman is still on the air after insulting Bush almost every night about verbal miscuesand seeing his ratings go from number 1 to #2. Nothing on Obamas mistakes and has and uhs.
Why change when they will still pay you tens of millions a year and the president and first whatever seek to be on your show.
