It's the next distraction. They have a new one queued up every week until November.

replyVery effective tactic. Only solution is to ignore all non local stuff until just before elections.
Ooh, like an advent calendar of crazy!
replyMe? I'd rather just keep reading through mentions of Trump in the Epstein files.
Or as one late-night host put it: "The Trump Files, featuring Jeffrey Epstein."
replyKimmel does the Trump-Epstein Files (TM), but as we've been repeatedly told, he's not funny and has abysmal ratings and should be fired. He's so bad, he's put his entire parent company's broadcast license up for review. You realize how bad you must be for that to happen?
replyI actually don't find Kimmel all that funny, but fuck I'm glad he's doing what he's doing.
replyColbert and Jon Stewart are more my flavor. Shame Colbert is coming to an end.
I'd agree with your ranking while putting Fallon below Kimmel. It is funny to watch each of their stand up routines on YT the next day to compare how often they all have very similar jokes. They, along with John Oliver, like to do supercuts of things where everyone is reading the same script, yet I've never seen them do the same thing to themselves. The only thing different is they are not reading the same script. Sometimes, the jokes literally write themselves and not a coordinated effort.
replyI can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or one of the cultists. Great job if it’s the former.
replyI honestly never thought a /s would have been necessary
replyAs wild as this is, its very true… idk about till November as I think their playbook repeats too often.
Regardless, I have friends that run mobile studio vans for on-air guests whose major client is fox news… they get schedules two weeks in advance of guests. Locations… scheduling, production, logistics all takes time and planning obviously… the studios and powers at be absolutely have already thought in advance what stories they’ll be pushing!
Not to say random last minute events don’t happen constantly throwing a wrench in things… but regardless the over arching narratives and news cycle are already mostly planned out.
reply> The UFO nut community is being weaponized for political leverage
replyAlways has been, at least since 1947.

replyProbably settles some large polymarket bets as well. "Government will announce UFOs are real" has been a popular one for a long time.
