Is there anything still on comparable to Steven Colbert?

  The Daily Show? Jon Stewart hosts on Monday nights and it’s just like the old days

    And Last Week Tonight with Jon Oliver.

    For the late shows I like Kimmel well enough, but he just doesn’t have the same charisma as Colbert.

      I know this is a matter of personal preference but I absolutely cannot stand John Oliver. Every joke feels so tangential and contrived that it’s nearly a non sequitur à la Family Guy cutaway gags, and almost none of them ever seem to land for me. Then again, I think the target demographic is moreso Gen X than younger generations so maybe that’s why.

    I think people underrate the other hosts on that show. Desi Lydic, Jordan Klepper, and Josh Johnson are all outstanding. Store brand Rob Riggle guy is OK.

  Seth Meyers. I actually think he’s a better late-night host than Colbert, though I like them both. Seth is much more willing to let his staff take risks and do silly experiments that may or may not work. I think landing the Late Show gig infected Colbert with “Smart White Guy Whose Success Renders Him Unable to Smell His Own Farts” syndrome. Not that he’s not a talented comedian, he is, but after the show found its footing it started to feel pretty same-y to me.

    Seth is my favorite late night host. His Closer Look segments are great.

  Daily Show? Last Week Tonight minus the guests?

  Walter Masterson is probably the closest I can think of when he baits MAGA.
