This year hinted strongly at the end of a broadcast network era for the late-night comedy show. CBS made the bold move of declaring they were granting just one more season to “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert<\/a>.” In the Johnny Carson era, his show dominated the air space. Today, the “comedians” are catering to a leftist audience in what sounds like group therapy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump<\/a>\u2019s re-election strongly signaled that the ever-cascading mockery of the “Orange Man” didn\u2019t keep him from winning. But liberal pundits still equated comedians with democracy. On ABC\u2019s “The View,” co-host Sunny Hostin dramatically proclaimed that this decision to stop losing money on Colbert wasn’t financial (as CBS claimed). “This is the dismantling of our democracy. This is the dismantling of our Constitution.” She broke out that old saw about liberals “speaking truth to power.” But they never speak truth to “power” when their favorites win. They didn\u2019t “speak truth” when former President Joe Biden was obviously in cognitive decline.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The most memorable moments from late-night comedians<\/a> in 2025 were irredeemably nasty. Take Jon Stewart during his Mondays-only gig on “The Daily Show,” mocking the free market in February. “Capitalism is by definition exploitative. It’s how it operates. That’s fine. But then government’s role should be to ease the negative effects on Americans of that exploitation, not subsidize that treachery with our money. We are getting [bleeped] at a Diddy party and they’re making us buy the baby oil!”\u00a0<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not as nasty as Stewart\u2019s old underling John Oliver on HBO\u2019s “Last Week Tonight” in March, disparaging former President Ronald Reagan. “I will admit there are positive things you can say about Reagan, like \u2018He was our only president to make a movie with a chimp,\u2019 or \u2018He’s dead.\u2019 But his moral clarity might come as a surprise to any gay people who lived through the 1980s. I’m just saying, if you brought Reagan back from the dead and told him all the racist shit Trump’s managed to do in less than two months, he’d cum so hard he’d die again.”<\/p>\n

JIMMY KIMMEL SAYS TYRANNY RISING UNDER TRUMP, TAUNTS PRESIDENT OVER SHOW’S RETURN<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The late-night guests knew how to echo their hosts. When Trump took over operations at the Kennedy Center, actor Nathan Lane uncorked a rant on the Colbert show, mocking what Trump would feature on stage. \u00a0“Like tomorrow night they have a youth choir made up entirely of Elon Musk’s children. Because \u2018Hamilton\u2019 canceled its engagement, they are producing Lee Greenwood’s all-rap musical tribute to Ronald Reagan starring Kanye West<\/a>. It’s called \u2018Trickle Down.\u2019 That\u2019s followed by a new production of \u2018The Sound of Music\u2019 told from the point of view of the Nazis. Trust me, trust me, you don’t want to hear the list of their favorite things.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Even America itself was trashed for re-electing Trump. British actor Alan Cumming performed a superiority dance in July on Jimmy Kimmel<\/a>\u2019s show.\u00a0 “America, how are you doing? No, really, how are you doing? I mean, how are you doing aside from being a country that has just reintroduced concentration camps, taken healthcare away from 17 million people to give billionaires a tax cut, and also to finance an armed militia of masked men that commits heinous assorted kidnapping and crimes against humanity on a daily basis? Aside from all that, are you okay? I wouldn\u2019t have thought so.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

This might help people understand why these shows are sinking in the ratings. You have to be a special category of hater to end your day with these rants. Alex Christy at NewsBusters found that 92% of the political jokes<\/a> told on broadcast late-night shows were about conservatives, up from 82% in 2024. The guest list was even worse, almost unanimously left-wing, 99% of the time: 196 liberals to just two conservatives. Jimmy Fallon\u2019s chat with Greg Gutfeld stuck out for how remarkably rare it was.<\/p>\n

The worst late-night moment of the year was obviously Jimmy Kimmel\u2019s brazen lie about the political views of Charlie Kirk\u2019s alleged assassin<\/a>. “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

It was a new low all right. It was a time for mourning, not mockery and lies. Two station-affiliate groups decided to refuse to air Kimmel\u2019s show, so ABC shut it down … for four programs. Four reruns of “Family Feud.” But the elitist media had a month\u2019s worth of tantrums. CNN host Jake Tapper proclaimed on the Seth Meyers show, “I thought it was pretty much the most direct infringement by the government on free speech that I’ve seen in my lifetime.”<\/p>\n

Kimmel ended the year by being awarded the “Alternative Christmas Message” on Britain\u2019s Channel 4, where, just like his guest Alan Cumming, Kimmel knocked America as a “right mess” a crumbling democracy in a nation full of dummies. “We are not bright. We\u2019re Americans. No one knows better than you, we\u2019re always just a little bit late to the game, but do we come through in the end? Maybe. Give us about three years. Please.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

ABC extended Kimmel\u2019s contract<\/a> by only one year, because there\u2019s only so much money a business wants to lose for someone\u2019s fiercely nasty “freedom of speech.” Kimmel could still follow Colbert out the door since he\u2019s not into broadcasting, only narrowcasting.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
