As I recall, the 8 years of Obama were a bit of a drought for late night comedy. The man was so serious. He was so excellent. There was just ... just nothing you could laugh at with Obama.

I don’t give a dang about late night ‘comedy’ shows that are stuffed with politicians. I got out of the habit of watching late night tv when I went into the Army and haven’t seen a reason to return to watching it during the 25 years since I retired.

Just think of all the fun Fallon and the other would be having right now if Bernie, Biden, AOC, Fauxahantus, and Irish Bob O’Rourke were Republicans.

As IF he and the other libtards will actually make fun of liberal Democrats. Doubt it. They’ll be gentle, at worst, like they were with Barack for 8 years.

They’re walking jokes.
They’re punch lines waiting to happen.

“Theyre walking jokes.”
True. Just put a picture of one of them in front of the camera. I would laugh uncontrollably.

Jimmy Fallon is a piece of garbage Leftist Obama-supporting SNL-alumni dirtbag (no offense to a bag of dirt).
His “Roots” band was the same, especially when Sarah Palin was on the shows.
“Variety” magazine is another propaganda machine for the Democrats.
Gee, was that too harsh?

One thing to watch for on the late night comedy shows with respect to the 2020 candidates:
Those candidates they tell little or no jokes about are the ones selected for the "nomination".

Be careful- look what Obama did to Leno

Eight years of "Obama's so brilliant we morals just don't get him" jokes. Fallon will be the same with the 2o something democrats.

Yes, Fallon was a shameless Obama bootlicker. Same with Her Thighness.

What is this “late night show” you speak of?
There was no longer any such thing as a late night show after Johnny Carson left the stage...

We’ve noticed that Fallon has been going after the dems pretty good recently, and his Trump jokes are actually softer and funnier than the hate filled stuff you hear on other shows. The kind of jokes that used to be common about Bush, Clinton, Gore etc. Not too partisan.

Just remember, it’s not Jimmy Fallon’s decision to do, or not do , these things.
It is the producers who tell the writers what to compose, that Jimmy reads. The reason they are backing off Trump and will go after the Dems is...... money.
