A buffoon playing a buffoon on TV. It was easy for his writers in his current show; there weren’t too many expectations for a buffoon.
It will be interesting to see if he can even break past the normal childishness of his typical current viewer and convincingly satiate the viewer who is accustomed to ole bucktooth....a despicable shell of a man.
That’s what I was thinking. I was kind of hoping Whoopi Goldberg was going to get the gig.
Another good question would be what about comedy in late night shows. That’d be a really good question. Find someone who is funny.
Hasn’t Ellen Degeneres had her own show twice already? She needs a third show now too... really?
Mr Clobert is as funny,clever,charming and goofy as Mr Letterman.
Talk about diminished expectations!
As long as Ellen doesn’t dance. I think Ellen does critters too. Gotta have critters.
Colbert is leftist scum.
someone like Jimmy Kimmel who can be sometimes left leaning, would be more even handed.
I’m opposed to quotas except when it comes to a liberal losing his job. I just ask them to voluntarily check the box that says, “Yes, I am willing to give up my job for a quota hire.”
Rush should get a group of investors to buy one of the networks. Present an alternative across the board. I actually might start watching TV again if that happened.
For cryin’ out loud - it is never enough for these PC clowns.
How bout some diversity at BET?
That bad, huh?
Ellen is also out of Los Angeles.
When I think of comedy, I think of Don Rickles, Phyllis Diller, Bob Hope, George Burns, & Tig Notaro.
What about diversity of political agenda?
Pray America wakes up
There are a lot of people that don’t know Stephen Colbert was playing a character. Jon Stewart is the funny, engaging liberal, and Colbert was playing the part of a racist, homophobic, war-mongering conservative so that clueless college students can clearly see that their left-wing professors are telling the truth.
Because of Colbert’s work for the left, he was able to emerge from the recent racial controversy involving Suey Park unscathed, and even get a promotion.
It is funny how when the left needs someone, they have no problem pushing diversity to the side, and picking who they want. It just proves that even they know diversity is nonsense. It’s just a hammer they use to bash conservatives with.
There’s only one thing to do: Boycott Late Night (after all, what’s good for Libs, is good everywhere !!)
Is that damning with faint praise, sarcasm, or straight writing?
Saw the headline ands thought “diversity” late night would be about having hosts who weren’t all pinkos.
But...nope.
