On Thursday night on CBS’ canceled Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the host and former host David Letterman went up to the roof of the historic Ed Sullivan Theater and proceeded to have stage hands throw pieces of the set, chairs, etc, off the roof onto a CBS logo. This was done in retaliation to CBS ending the once popular late night talk show and entertainment venue that had become a Democrat propaganda platform nobody watched.
To say these two clowns were throwing a temper tantrum would be too mild. At the end of their attempt at anarchy, they both said in unison to the camera, “in the words of the late Ed Murrow, good night and good luck mother f******”.
Classy, huh?
You know, I don’t remember the Tonight Show’s Johnny Carson doing anything so crude and vulgar. I remember him having on late comedian Buddy Hackett, who would tell a couple of slightly risque and very funny jokes. I can remember Johnny engaging with Burt Reynolds and Dom DeLuise in a hilarious whipped cream and egg fight in which they not only smeared each other’s clothing with those items, they also put them down each other’s pants and smashed them.
The big difference between Johnny Carson and those two losers, is that Johnny was actually funny and to this day remains the greatest of all late night talk show hosts.
Why is that?
It is because Johnny had the philosophy that he would not get political and take one side or the other because it would cause him to lose half or more of his audience. Johnny had everybody on his show and he talked to everybody with respect, from 5-year-olds to 90 year old grandmothers.
He didn’t have to attack politicians, although he would tell good nature jokes about them and even have them on his show and share a laugh with them.
Looking at Letterman and Colbert in the videos of their rooftop addicts, all I saw was a bearded, anorexic Santa Claus wannabe and a snarky former Comedy Central political attack dog who failed at being a late night talk show biting the hand that fed them millions of dollars.
The biggest difference between Johnny Carson and those two wannabe rooftop anarchists is that Johnny knew when it was time to end his show and did it graciously.
Those two threw a tantrum like children who didn’t want to get off the ferris wheel after riding it 55 times.
The fact of the matter is if Far Left Democrat talk shows were popular with average Americans, Air America would still be on the radio and CBS’ Late Show would not be assigned to the dustbin of history.
Until He Comes,
