The Satisfying Downfall of Late Night Television Just Happened.

Flashback to the golden era: Johnny Carson cracking wise on absurd headlines, Letterman top-10 lists that had us in stitches, no agenda—just pure, unfiltered laughs after a long day. Now? It's 2025, and late night TV is a wheezing relic, gasping its last breaths under the weight of partisan rants and plummeting ratings. Jimmy Kimmel's triumphant return? A 85% nosedive in key 18-49 viewers, cratering from 1.6 million total eyes to barely scraping by. Stephen Colbert's empire? Axed by CBS amid censorship cries after torching Trump on air, leaving fans howling about free speech foul play.We're dissecting the autopsy: How endless lefty monologues turned escapist fun into echo-chamber sermons, bleeding viewers to podcasts and TikTok roasts. Colbert clings to 2.42 million in Q2 (barely), Kimmel's at 1.77 million—down from 2.4 million peaks in 2015—while Gutfeld laps 'em with fresh, bipartisan bites. Networks like ABC and CBS pulling plugs isn't censorship; it's capitalism biting back at flops hemorrhaging cash. Even the "Avengers" of late night—Fallon, Meyers, Stewart—rallying for Kimmel feels like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.But is there a reboot? Indies like Gutfeld prove comedy thrives sans politics. This vid's your wake-up call to the graveyard shift's end.Who's the real villain here—hosts, corps, or us for tuning out? Rage in the comments. Let's laugh this corpse off the stage.
