I have especially missed them these past 5 months, especially Colbert and Meyers. Tomorrow I plan to wear my "IS POTATO" shirt in honor of the occasion.

(11,780 posts)The politicians have basically been writing jokes for them. Its kind of cathartic to hear the late night shows bring their antics up and run their noses in it. Not that the worst offenders would ever watch them, but theyll still no doubt complain. Just in time for tfgs first trial.
Colbert especially will be like a kid in the proverbial candy store.

(2,355 posts)Colbert is the only one I watch, usually just for the monologue. Like Seth but its just too damned late to stay up, and no, I dont record anything for time shifting.
Would like to see what the folks here at DU prefer for late night humor.

I have always stayed up for Colbert, but record Meyers and watch him in the morning as I get ready for work. I have a truly special spot in my heart for the Meyers family. Long story short, I wrote his parents a fan letter after one of their annual Thanksgiving show appearances. Not only did they reply, inside a FedEx envelope with a return address from 30 Rock was an autographed photo from Seth himself - with my name on it. What a kind, generous family.

(2,355 posts)Its on too late though, and I never did master time shifting, I never think to watch when I have time, so I end up with hours of programming I havent watched, which is stressful in itself.
For some reason I never liked Fallon or Kimmel.
I rarely made it up that late, but when Craig Ferguson was on God he was funny.
