COVID is a virus that easily spreads through the air. I think you need to be thinking flu.

I have had three COVID shots and I still can catch the COVID virus. I know people who have had the COVID virus after multiple vaccinations. Then there's people who have had COVID multiple times........again like the flu.
Yes, and the stats show that you are still less likely to get it and if you do the severity will be lessened.
Alberta has now had as many measles cases as all of the US. Anti vaxxers are allowing the return of diseases we had eliminated.

No it's the more you take the more likely you are to get it. Already been proven. Why do you always post nonsense?

But it would still be a little higher than someone who has had covid would it not. By the way Franky boy of all people shouldn't have found your comment funny :ROFLMAO:
Of course you didn't get the joke.

You come to these conclusions if you've had a brain worm.
Vaccines work and now anti vaxxers have successfully brought back the measles.

I think Colbert is funny, but Kimmel and Myers do a better job of showing Trump's bizarre insanity, while being funny
I would agree with your take. I personally love a good political joke even the one's directed at Trump.

However, quoting my earlier post "We had the most bizarre election in recent history. I will give you Trump. However, the Biden fraud, the rushed coronation of Kamala and her ensuing vagueness and doubletalk were comedy gold as well. Colbert rarely touched on it."

I think they all rarely touched on the craziness of the Democratic side. At some point, the audience picks up on that and starts to think it's more preaching than comedy.

Anyways, I didn't stop watching late night because of politics. I gradually started reading more and streaming YouTube which seems to be killing appointment TV. I do like Fallon's celebrity bits, but I can see a lot of them on YouTube and elsewhere without the usual celebrity talk show dribble.

So and so is an incredible director. It was so much fun working with so and so actor. This is an amazing story.

Has ICE deported Guillermo yet? ;)

By the way, more and more reports suggest that Late Night with Colbert was hemorrhaging money.

Paramount-CBS' timing and the appearances of the decision were horrible. Don't expect too much from corporate executives. They also might have known the timing was bad and just didn't give a fuck.

That's a big part of the decline.

Just like video killed the radio star in the 80s, social media killed the Hollywood star in the 2000s.
I would narrow that to streaming.

It's an interesting transition. If legacy TV networks and major studios can't decide what we watch on television or herd us into a theater, it seems to change the market dynamics dramatically.

As a side note, it seems that Hollywood stars appear in superhero movies because they seem to be the only movies that consistently have the big payouts for actors.

Social media has given ordinary people 24/7 access to Hollywood celebrities and they're no longer seen as special or larger than life.
That's true.

I'm more shocked that The View is still on the air. You can't tell me that show doesn't lose money.
The View has a solid audience. Most of the show's costs probably are just salary to the female hosts. They can always renegotiate when contracts are up if need be. I highly doubt the show is all that dependent on Whoopi or Joy Behar.

Daytime programming geared towards women always has a lot of consumer products companies as sponsors.

It may even be they preferred the optics this way because it was a signal to Trump they were willing to play ball.

Colbert's show was reportedly losing $40 million per year.

Only a handful of effeminate Boomers were voluntarily consuming that trash.
That's the main problem for most of these late shows. They're a dying breed and there's really no way to stop it. The business model is simply dying. I suspect that's why they're simply axing the show, rather than trying to revamp it under a different format or with another host.

I enjoyed all these late night shows far better when there was at least an attempt take potshots across the entire political spectrum, instead of focusing them mainly on the Republicans.
Same goes for Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, which runs some high quality shows...but unfortunately the ideological slant has tilted so far to the Left that it can be insufferable to watch.

I love political humor. I just find it bizarre when comedians begin to become partisan observers and commentators. The exception might be Jon Stewart's news/comedy format. And why leave half of the obvious jokes in the writer's room. That's probably giving too much credit to the writers because I think many of them have been brought up with the idea that they have to take a political stand.

Now it's possible there is an audience that wants red meat in this case left-leanings hosts catering to their politics. I suspect the Gutfeld audience doesn't want Trump humor, but I think they actually throw a few jabs. Make no mistake, he is still the candidate of choice for most of the Gutfeld panel.
