I switched to Fox and it was Tucker interviewing a guy about Biden’s war on menthol cigarettes.  WTF

Will the target audience see it?

This was a pretty good bit. (Full disclosure, the first cigarettes I tried as a teenager were menthols. They were kid friendly.)

Would love to see the GOP go to war against online porn.  That’s a great way to get people to vote against you.

 Their base would welcome banning porn. It wouldn’t affect the rich people who could circumvent rules/consequences with money, it would further lead to more incarcerations of the poor, and it would give them more control of the population. The Handmaidens tale is the goal here. Control of women and control the poor.

Is this supposed to be funny or something?  

 

Also, Tosh.0 had an "Is It Racist?" segment many years ago. Good to see the lamest, weakest, least charismatic late night show host could take a page out of Tosh's book, and still manage to make it unfunny. I can't believe that guy is still employed.

I did a lot of computer tech support back in the 90s thought Computer City and CompUSA, then moved into corporate IT for a long time n the early 2000s, and still do occasional tech support for older relatives/neighbors.  

Old people love porn.  They don’t even hide it, or maybe they don’t know how to, but I’ve had too many experiences of “hehe, just ignore that folder if you know what I mean” with no trace of embarrassment but more of “you know what I’m talkin about, got the good stuff in there!”

And internet porn spares them trying the time and embarrassment of trying to track down the physical stuff.

And a shitload of these people are the people who are paying for online porn.  Probably keeping the industry afloat.  I’ve had to help quite a few who got scammed or had their CC numbers stolen because they trusted sketchy websites, and steering them onto free sites - they don’t care about paying for it.

And they like a variety of stuff.  

There  was a movie that came out last week on Hulu with a 63 year-old Emma Thompson doing full frontal nudity and getting railed by a young dude, and none of these folks I’ve helped would care.

Not only did I learn the word “bitchassedness” from this community, I’ve also been shown what it means.

Him, Fallon and Corden all fucking suck. No wonder we are where we are. Those 3 idiots are somehow prime time tv hosts

12:30 AM isn’t prime time, genius. A Closer Look is a great bit. Seth hosted Weekend Update on SNL for a long time back when it was still funny. His news opening is basically a reprise of that. If you lump him in with Fallon and Corden (who also comes on at 12:30 AM) then you either haven’t watched, have no sense of humor, or are hung up about something other than the jokes. (Also, if you think SNL is still funny now then we’re done here.)

He’s funny I just don’t like him as a late night talk show host. And you accusing someone or having no sense of humor is rich 

There’s a difference between him being a comedian and being a talk show host. He generally doesn’t get the best guests. But when other comedians are on, those interviews go well. If you don’t find humor in his A Closer Look bit then, yeah, I’ll put my sense of humor up against yours any day. But then you also lumped him in with Fallon and Corden so you’re already standing in quicksand so let’s not even bother.

Fox News parent must face defamation lawsuit over election coverage

Fox News entering the "finding out" phase.

 Can we get ActBlue to raise $50 million or so to fund Dominion's legal expenses on the condition that they don't settle for anything less than $1B?  It seems like this is the only way to get rid of the right-wing media scourge that we're dealing with.  We could even let Dominion keep whatever's left over, as long as they've made a good faith effort to burn Fox News to the ground.

My wife loves Fallon so that's always on as she's going to bed and I might catch some if there's a good guest or band on. He's completely harmless. This leads into Seth Meyers and he's nowhere near "can't-miss" but he's not bad for that time slot. There hasn't been an outstanding really, really late night show since Conan took over for Letterman.

I've never really liked Corden that much but I've seen a few of his 15+ minute bits that air online (I guess as I don't watch the show) that were great. He did a "Top Gun" deal with Tom Cruise that was fantastic and I also liked the one where he knocked on random Brooklyn doors with $300 and three hours to film Harry Styles' latest video. That was pretty good too.

"A Closer Look" is great. Most of his impressions are terrible but I don't think he takes himself too seriously.
