| Topic | Late shows have gone to hell |

It is not accurate that a comedian has to be offensive to be funny and the reason late shows suck now is because you can't be offensive anymor Nobody said either of these things were true. The point is comedians can't be off the cuff anymore. Johnny Carson never had to consider and evaluate what he was going to say before he said it. He just said shit he thought was funny That's why Colbert/Stewart are better than a lot of these other guys, he's naturally less likely to say anything that might offend anyone so it comes across as more natural. Everyone else is safe and sterile. Nothing Kimmel has ever said sounds natural and you can tell he's mulled over everything he says in head 2/3 times before he says it outright. It's like 1984 or Soviet Russia. Performing when Big Brother is always watching in case you say the wrong thing Even if you never say "the wrong thing" your performance will still be worse than people who "Never said the wrong thing" who performed without Big Brother watching --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! https://imgur.com/yPw05Ob ...
