I watch Colbert, Seth Meyers and The Daily Show since they help keep me sane after a day of Trump news - and I figured that others here would likely feel the same, and we sure need all the humor we can get these days! And then my friend TexasTowelie started posting Jimmy Kimmel. And I agree with you, Johnny Carson made jokes about whoever was president, but these guys are serious! These are broadcasts for the ages since it would be tough for anyone who didn't experience it to believe that this really went on!

I know that not everyone here stays up as late as I do - or even has TV - and the humor from the late night comedians helps keep me sane during these dark times, so I decided to pay it forward!

The country should give awards to Seth Meyers, Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, et. al. for keeping us moderately sane during these dark times. If it weren't for these guys, I think I'd have gone stark raving, barking mad months, Hell, YEARS ago.

I think these latest events are energizing the late-night talk show hosts, which they deserve after 3 years of a depressing crime spree that has basically gone unpunished. He was great! Thanks so much for posting Rhiannon! You are the best!

And Seth hit it out of the park, as usual! And though we know he has writers, he absolutely means what he says. You can tell from his informed comments when he has political guests - and I think he needs the humor as much as we do!
