People know when you're making fun of them and tune out.

  I am a liberal and even I have tuned out of these late night shows as I got sick of the low quality mockery of "the other side". I initially had high hopes from Trevor Noah but his race baiting approach to mockery (and I say this as a "person of color" if that means anything) just put me off. I've had a year without late night TV or "mainstream news" and frankly, I feel a lot better. I've been able to focus a lot on furthering my knowledge and experience in technical and scientific things.

    My issue with Trevor Noah and his ilk is they peddle the false, shallow version of "diversity" which is anything but. As long as a bunch of socioeconomically identical, young, childless, professional, and urban people have enough variance in the melanin content of their skin, they are a diverse group. Former military? Drive a pick-up truck? Grew up in a trailer? Yeah, nobody wants THAT kind of diversity.

    The tone of Colbert and Seth Meyers seems a bit more upbeat than Trevor Noah. I think Noah will wear on people sooner; to me his tone is more bleak/grim (ignoring content, which is sometimes insightful). His interviews have a more upbeat tone, IIRC.

  Are you referring to Fallon then?
