A prime example of this is Stephen Colbert, the host of the Late Show. In a recent episode, he couldn&#8217;t resist commenting on the televised testimony of \u200dFulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis and her affair with an attorney involved in\u2064 the election case against former \u200bPresident Donald \u2062Trump.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;How good was this sex? Good\u200c enough to risk \u2063democracy over?&#8221; Colbert jokingly asked his audience.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>But he didn&#8217;t stop \u2062there. Colbert went on to express his desire to see Trump behind bars, saying, &#8220;You know what feels really \u200cgood? Donald Trump going to prison. That \u200c\u2014 that, my friends \u200d\u2014 is\u200b what they\u200b call a real happy ending.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>A comedic take on a \u2064serious matter<\/h3>\n<p>During the show, Colbert also commented on\u200d the\u200d ongoing trial, highlighting a heated exchange between Willis and opposing counsel:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re confused; you think I&#8217;m on trial. These people are on trial for trying to\u2062 steal an\u200d election in \u200b2020. I&#8217;m \u2062not on trial, no matter\u2062 how\u2064 hard you try\u200b to put me on trial,&#8221; Willis passionately stated.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Colbert couldn&#8217;t agree more, emphasizing the importance of holding Trump and his associates accountable. He even posed a provocative question, wondering if the affair \u200dwas \u2064worth \u200brisking democracy\u2062 for.\u2062 In his own comedic style, Colbert \u200cquipped, &#8220;Because I&#8217;ve never \u200chad sex that good.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, \u2064not everyone finds \u2064Colbert&#8217;s political commentary amusing.\u2062 Brent Baker, vice \u200dpresident of research\u2062 and \u200cpublications for the Media Research Center,\u2062 believes\u2064 that Colbert and other entertainment media\u200d figures \u200bhave ruined late-night TV. He argues that these shows were \u2063once a \u200crefuge from politics, with\u2063 hosts like the legendary Johnny Carson delivering\u2062 light-hearted jokes that poked fun\u200d at both\u2063 sides. Baker suggests that\u2063 Colbert&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/citizens-object-to-2020-election\/\" title=\"Citizens Object To 2020 Election\">left-wing agenda<\/a> disguised as comedy is anything but funny, and it&#8217;s a disservice to the\u2064 late-night comedy legacy.<\/p>\n<p>Rating: FIVE out\u200d of FIVE \u2063SCREAMS.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How has the shift towards political commentary\u2062 in late-night comedy affected the ability of hosts to create\u2063 a \u200cuniversally entertaining experience for audiences<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Host of &#8220;The Late Show&#8221; on CBS. Colbert, who gained fame through his satirical character\u200b on &#8220;The Colbert Report,&#8221; has transitioned into a political commentator rather \u200cthan a comedian.<\/p>\n<p>There was a time when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fox-news-gutfeld-bypasses-colbert-in-late-night-show-viewers-key-age-demographics\/\" title=\"Fox News\u2019 \u2018Gutfeld!\u2019 Bypasses Colbert In Late Night Show Viewers, Key Age Demographics\">late-night comedy shows<\/a> were a \u2062source of pure entertainment. The likes of Johnny Carson, David Letterman, and Jay Leno captivated audiences with their sharp wit and hilarious skits. They brought \u2062people together with their universal humor, transcending political affiliations. However, it seems that in recent years, late-night comedy \u200dhas lost its way.<\/p>\n<p>One of the \u2063biggest culprits of \u200bthis decline is Stephen Colbert. Once known for his charismatic and outrageous satire on &#8220;The Colbert Report,&#8221; Colbert\u2062 has lost touch with what made him relevant. Instead, he has transformed into\u2064 a political activist, using his platform to push his left-wing agenda.<\/p>\n<p>Gone\u200d are the days when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-love-is-gone-cuomo-roasted-by-late-night-tv-comedians\/\" title=\"The Love Is Gone: Cuomo Roasted By Late-Night TV Comedians\">late-night comedians<\/a> could\u200b make fun of anyone and anything without fear of \u2062backlash. Now, it seems that if you&#8217;re\u200d not in line with \u200cthe liberal narrative, \u2064you&#8217;re a target for ridicule. Colbert, along with other late-night hosts, has become a mouthpiece for the left, \u2062spouting off politically charged monologues rather than delivering genuine laughs.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not that political humor is inherently bad. In fact, political satire has\u200b a long and rich history in comedy. \u2064Comedians like Jon Stewart and John\u200c Oliver\u200d have \u200csuccessfully used political comedy to entertain and inform their audiences. The difference, however, is that they managed to \u200cstrike a\u200d balance. \u200cThey provided insightful commentary while also genuinely making people laugh.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the\u200b best political comedy is often the one that takes aim at\u2064 both sides of the aisle. It&#8217;s about holding politicians and public figures accountable, regardless of\u2063 their political affiliation. Late-night comedy shows should be a space where people can unite through laughter, finding common ground despite their differences. Instead,\u200c it has become a platform for divisive rhetoric and partisan bickering.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to note that late-night comedy shows have always had a degree \u200cof political bias. Carson, Letterman, and Leno all \u2064had their own leanings, but they managed to maintain a level of neutrality\u200d that allowed their \u200bhumor to resonate with a broad audience. They understood that comedy \u2062is about\u2063 highlighting the absurdities of the world we live in, rather than promoting a specific agenda.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, it seems that late-night \u2064comedy has become\u2062 a victim of our increasingly polarized society. Rather than challenging the status quo and bringing people together, \u2063it has \u2063become another battleground for political ideologies. Late-night hosts like Colbert are more interested in preaching \u2062to\u2064 the \u2063choir than making diverse audiences laugh.<\/p>\n<p>So, what can be done to bring the laughter back to late-night comedy? First, hosts need to remember that their primary goal\u2063 is to entertain. Comedy \u200bshould always come before politics. This means taking\u200b a step back from \u2064the political soapbox and focusing on creating funny and relatable content.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally,\u200d late-night comedians should \u2064challenge themselves to go beyond the predictable jabs at political figures. They should strive to find humor in everyday situations, the\u200d quirks of human behavior, and the absurdities of life. By doing so, \u2062they can tap into a broader appeal and attract a wider audience.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, \u200dit&#8217;s up to the viewers to demand a return to genuine comedy. If enough people express their dissatisfaction with the current state of late-night comedy, networks\u200c may be inclined to make changes. It&#8217;s time for late-night hosts to remember their roots and get back to delivering \u2064the laughs. After all, isn&#8217;t that what comedy is all about?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Remember when late-night comedy shows were actually funny instead of being filled with left-wing lecturers?
