CBS cancelled Stephen Colbert’s The Late Show, and with that, they decided to back away from late night as a whole. So, they let Byron Allen buy the two-hour block for his shows, Comics Unleashed and Funny You Should Ask.
However, ratings for his shows are not funny. According to Late Nighter, during the week of June 8th, Jimmy Kimmel Live had 3.07 million viewers. While the two daily episodes of Comics Unleashed averaged around 650,000 viewers.
Translation: Kimmel was watched by almost five times more viewers than Allen.
Therefore, it is a failure not only for Allen but also for the CBS affiliates, who are losing viewers to their 11 O’clock news because barely anyone is tuning in to the show that follows their news broadcasts.
When it comes to Funny You Should Ask, Late Night with Seth Meyers is getting double the audience.
Once again proving that everything donald trump touches turns into shit. And what he doesn’t touch, thrives. Well, unless it is algae because that thrives under him, as does our national debt.
Yesterday was Father’s Day, and I made meme cards for the fathers in my life. It was a photo of Maury Povich saying, “Happy Father’s Day! You are the father!”
I thought that was pretty clever, but Mark Hamill has me beat.
Luke Skywalker shared a photo of his father, Darth Vader, and said, “Happy Father’s Day!” Pretty brilliant!
I was thinking of doing something with Anakin Skywalker, but I already got my frother a shirt with Vader’s face that reads, “I am your father.” So I was like, I need to try something different. But kudos to Hamill for going there.
Imagine you are in 30 Rock, you are taking the elevator, all of a sudden the elevator doors open up, and Paul McCartney is standing there. What would you do?
Several visitors of the NBC building did not have to imagine (I know that is a John Lennon song) that because that is what happened. Jimmy Fallon decided to prank them with the legendary Beatles singer, and they loved it. How could they not? Who doesn’t love Macca?
BTW I love that the lift people gave out a small scream when they saw the Tonight Show host, and a much larger one when they saw McCartney. Granted, they would expect to see Fallon, that other guy not so much.
