On Tuesday night, donald trump gave his annual state of the union speech. I was going to watch it, but I was streaming Police Woman with Angie Dickinson on Tubi, and I didn’t want to be spoiled by how the series ended in 1978. Time was of the essence.
Therefore, I didn’t watch because that was more dire. I am not the only one who missed it. According to Nielsen, 11% of the people who watched last year were also drawn to watch or do anything else, like watch paint dry. Granted, I didn’t watch last year either because I was washing my hair.
Anyways, while his ratings were down by a lot, Stephen Colbert’s ratings for that night were up by 7% as compared to 2025!
As The Late Show host explained, “People may not like watching trump, but they do like watching me not like watching trump.” Yes, we do!
BTW If you asked trump about his ratings from Tuesday, he will tell you, “They were the best ratings that any president has ever gotten at the state of the union and no one has ever seen anything like it.”
