When the late night comedy shows took to the air on Monday to lament Donald Trump’s return to the presidency, three main themes emerged. The first was that Trump is going to be a national nightmare. The second was that they have gone all in on embracing former President Joe Biden’s “oligarchy” warnings. Finally, it was deemed ironic that Inauguration Day happened to fall on Martin Luther King…

Historian Allan Lichtman may be the media’s favorite election prognosticator. Prior to November, he had correctly predicted nine of the last ten presidential elections correctly, only missing George W. Bush’s narrow 2000 win. Therefore, when he predicted a Kamala Harris victory, media giants, like…

According to Comedy Central’s The Daily Show host-of-the-week Jordan Klepper and his Wednesday guest, transgender comedian ALOK, debating transgenderism is dumb because life is meaningless and we’re all going to “[bleep] die.”

Comedy Central’s host of the week of The Daily Show, Jordan Klepper, unleashed two clunkers on Tuesday as he reacted to Secretary of Defense-designate Pete Hegseth’s Senate confirmation hearing. First, Klepper chopped off one of Hegseth’s answers mid-sentence to falsely claim Hegseth has flip-flopped and gone woke on women in combat. Second, Klepper claimed that Hegseth’s obsession…

Whatever one thinks of some Republicans suggesting aid to California after the devastating wildfires come with strings attached, it is hard to claim the state’s wildfire prevention strategy has been a success.

NBC’s Seth Meyers and Comedy Central’s Desi Lydic both attacked President-elect Donald Trump on their respective Thursday editions of Late Night and The Daily Show for politicizing the Los Angeles wildfires with his attacks on President Joe Biden and Gov.

The Daily Show’s host-of-the-week Desi Lydic and The Tonight Show’s Jimmy Fallon used their respective shows on Comedy Central and NBC on Wednesday to attack Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his decision to ditch the company’s relationship with fact-checking companies.

After a strike-shortened 2023, 2024 was a busy year for the late night comedians. During the last year, the men of late night told a total of 13,676 political jokes, of which 11,226, or 82 percent, were directed at someone or something on the right side of the political aisle, an MRC study has found.

For people 35 and under, Monday was the first time in their lifetime that a Republican presidential election victory was certified by Congress with zero Democratic objections, but in their 2025 debuts, the late night comedians wanted to claim that Monday’s proceedings showed Republicans how the transfer of power is supposed to be done.

It is not just the hosts that make the late night comedy shows another part of the liberal media. It is also their guests. Throughout 2024, the late night shows’ guests slanted heavily left and provided plenty of outrageous moments, but, first a more humorous honorable mention.

Being an election year, 2024 gave the late night comedians an extra incentive to pile on the liberal advocacy. However, there was more to 2024 than just the presidential election, so from the Supreme Court to foreign affairs to the election and everything in-between, here is a David Letterman-style top ten list of the worst moments from the past year from the late night comedy shows.

Comedy Central’s Michael Kosta used The Daily Show’s penultimate episode of 2024 to mock Secretary of Defense-designate Pete Hegseth’s pledge not to drink if confirmed and ridiculed any Senate Republican who believes him.

Jon Stewart welcomed Wisconsin Democratic Party Chairman Ben Wikler to Monday’s The Daily Show on Comedy Central to promote his campaign for national party chairman.
