>average age of a Late Show viewer is 68I wonder how many of them just died with the TV on.
>>214540254Late night shows always sucked. I don’t know why anyone watches them.
>>214540270they were far more relevant before the internet and social media
>>214540270How else do I find out what happened today?
Will TV even be a thing when we are 68 year old boomers?
>>214540254they literally had a ratio of viewers in the key demographic to staff members of less than 1000 to 1
>>214540254Me and my mom always watch these late night shows every night pretty muchShe's 65 years old and she likes them, but it depends on who the guest on the show is, really. We just flip the channels through all the late night shows to see which ones have the most interesting guest and we watch that one
>>214540557terrestrial broadcast is hanging on by the thread that the government considers them an essential infrastructure for Emergency Alert Services. But cell phones are starting to provide that and once the boomers die off it's over for radio and traditional televisiont. used to work in radio and changed careers because I saw what was coming
>>214540254>boomers are still alivecan't wait till the 2080s when everyone born before 2000 is dead
>>214540254>Come on guys, it's me! Stephen! Remember the good times we had? Remember how Donald Rumfph had 2 scoops of ice cream?>Please, don't let them take my show...
>>214540557honestly the only point is for live news since everything else can be more comfortably watched on demandbut live streams are taking over that segment too
is Stephen still shouting obscenities at the current president on public television?
>>214540914he would unironically be the kang of late night if he kept up his fake conservative characterand CBS gave him the option tootrump haters would ironically watch him, trump lovers would unironically watch himand he would be universally likedbut he had to be his annoying selfthe saddest part is how he kept his fake french pronunciation of his name, since he made that up for the fake characterbut now acts like that's how his name is really pronouncedit's such a joke
>>214540270I enjoyed Conan. He had a hell of a writers room in the 2000s.
>>214540984>since he made that up for the fake characterAs far as I know its more pathetic than that. i think when he moved from South Carolina to the big city (Chicago, New York..), he himself began pronouncing his surname french to the big city folk.
>>214540859>terrestrial broadcast is hanging on by the threadTerrestrial broadcasters and the old big three networks are just going to become pay services with the FCC allowing DRM and encryption. They already are since most local channels make most of their profits from cable subscriber fees all they need to do now is figure out how to make their over the air signals not free too.
>>214541036because they didn't yet have DEI hire brown lesbian women writing jokes
>>214541036he was ok but the only late night host i ever actually watched was Craig Ferguson. It felt like he basically didnt need writers and was ad-libbing half the show, responding to tweets and stuff.
>>214540859how is radio dead? don't people use it when they are in the car?
>>214540254>average age of a Late Show viewer is 68well that makes perfect sense, doesn't it?Who the fuck actually sits down and watches cable TV except boomers
>>214541569there's a lot of lefty millennials online defending Colbert, but they dont actually watch him.
>>21454025441 percent of them, probably
>>214541590the leftist delusional narrative is that trump got him fired , not bad ratings and an obsolete show.
>>214540270Habits from the days when late shows were still relevant. It's like the Simpsons, and the majority of viewers are just habit-watchers.
>>214541645nobody wanted his show in years it was artificially subsidized with DNC money that is now gone
>>214541549no, boomercar time is for streaming heckin podcasts now
>>214541549Most radio stations just play the same 10 songs from the 80's all day and night. AI generated ads are creeping in as well.
>>214541549>how is radio dead? don't people use it when they are in the car?Most people play music from their phones through the car audio system.
>>214540254Nothing of value lost
>>214540933Watching Poonch, Kashmir being shelled live on his stream was really fun.
>>214541841I still like listening to the fucking bizarre shit the Georgia Tech college radio station plays. and English Nick on 97.1 THE EAGLE is my nigga.
>>214542251College radio is great. There's two stations in my city and the late night time-slots are all just bros playing obscure gems that I wouldn't hear otherwise
>>214541590>>214541645>>214541748Where do these conspiracy theories come from?
>>214540270>Leno/conan>Letterman/ferguson>SuckedI will fight you, you fucking zoomer. That was the golden age of television, not even just late night television but television as a whole. You don't know what you're missing.
