Though in those days it was David Letterman, who was a favorite - along with 60 Minutes. Are they turning into "state run media" like in the USSR? That's what it feels like. And both Colbert and Kimmel are comedians, making fun and being funny is their job. I don't think it'll help to boycott them, the way things are going there'll be nothing to watch.
