    It ends up with the far left and right being advocates for violence and everyone else realises how similar they actually are...

    Jay Leno was somewhat conservative. Definitely compared to the current crop. I like him and Conan.

    I think Colbert is funny every night and skewers the Trump debacle quite well......although at times I wonder how we can laugh at the horror of it all....

    So does the editorial section of Green Left Weekly magazine. That doesnt necessarily make it funny. Colbert I find hit and miss, but not nearly as cringe as the worst offenders.

    PS: Fox, you're one of my favourites to see in my alerts tray.

    Leno was hilarious. Unfortunately old age caught up with him and he could no longer read his lines coherently and that ruined the jokes. So he had to retire.

    Leno had Obama and Dubya on his show so I would consider him a centrist not either conservative nor liberal -- those 2 nasty words that these days are as bad as the N-word.

    Speaking of the N-word, the N's call themselves N's all the time.

    So they must not mind it so much after all.

    He was NBCs guy in LA for years before he began to dabble in politics and got his political opinion show on MSNBC. He started off pretty well but then went off the deep end and started acting like a megalomaniac know it all. He was a top flight sports guy on every venue. Should have stayed there.

    They’re bad because slinging **** at Trump or Republicans every night isn’t funny. It’s not in good taste or clever. And it’s certainly not even handed. They’re all rabid liberals who aren’t funny anymore.
