He's probably right. There are so many streaming options chock full of excellent content. There isn't anyone on late night that is so good that it's worth trying to catch live. Anything interesting enough will be available as a highlight.
Especially because it’s all on YouTube the next day
Its on youtube the day before too. Its not like the writers are coming up with their own jokes. Its almost all stolen content on these late night shows.
Jimmy Fallon in particular reminds me of those accounts that profit off of reposting other people's popular content while they're in the corner pointing at it. Every guest he has on, he's just talking about printouts of social media.
Truth be told some of it is actually on YouTube before it airs live.
Most of the late night shows air live after 10/11pm, but their main monologue is on YouTube between 9pm and 10pm, East Coast times. If you're on the West Coast you can probably catch the interviews which are uploaded a few hours later.
Catch live? No, but that's true for any TV, I watch shows when I want to watch them.
Colbert, Meyers, The Daily Show are all great. I like Kimmel as well sometimes.
Sure, but if you aren't watching them live, then why make them every day? You're not watching the ads, so the value of streaming the content for free is diminished. Wouldn't a Last Week Tonight format work much better?
I mean I am watching them every day, on YouTube either that same night or the next day.
Last Week Tonight is a good format as well but I like the interviews as well as the main show.
Sure some are just fluff of an actor talking about a role they are in, some are a politician giving their thoughts, some are writers explaining an idea or concept. It's usually light, but it's usually a good watch.
