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.
