@BrianJopek Jimmy had a terrific heartfelt monologue last night. These words will be prophetic.
" ...you just don't realize it yet"

@Barbramon1 @BrianJopek 💯.
When he choked up, I cried along with him. While I’m not typically prone to weeping, my tears are very close to the surface these days. Even so, that was heart-wrenching.

@Laloofah @BrianJopek I was literally laughing through my tears at certain points. Jimmy has become my favorite comedian. He is not only hilarious, but he is a genuine good man.

@Barbramon1 @Laloofah @BrianJopek Yeah, I rank them Kimmel #1, Colbert #2, Trevor Noah #3, Seth Meyers #4, Jon Stewart #5, Jimmy Fallon #6. Did I miss anyone?

@JonChevreau @Laloofah @BrianJopek
Kimmel is my number one, with Meyers and Colbert tied in second place.
II seldom watch Fallon or Stewart. Stewart's voice and manner irritate me, and Fallon is just not that funny.
Trevor Noah? I adore him but no longer think of him as a late night host. He is a brilliant stand up comedian.
Will be sad, but not surprised if Kimmel and Colbert retire from late night within a year or two when their contracts expire. They will be hard to replace.

@Barbramon1 @JonChevreau @Laloofah @BrianJopek What the world needs now is for Craig Ferguson to come out of retirement.

@5teverin0 @JonChevreau @Laloofah @BrianJopek
I forgot about him. I wonder if he would take on a regular show. He is in his early 60s now, like Stewart and Colbert.
Hoping we see some really good younger comics coming through the pipeline

@Barbramon1 @JonChevreau @Laloofah @BrianJopek He's a naturalized US citizen and very happy about it (recent developments not withstanding). I imagine he is none too pleased with the goings on of late. Plus, he is, IMO, hands-down funnier than the rest.

@5teverin0 @Barbramon1 @JonChevreau @BrianJopek While he’s not a late-night/TV host (he’s a stand-up comic who also makes YT vids from inside his car!), I’d feel remiss if I didn’t add Trae Crowder (“The Liberal Redneck”).
This is his latest video, made in the immediate aftermath of the nightmare election. Shorter & angrier than his typical vids (understandably), but figure it’s a place to start…

@Laloofah @5teverin0 @Barbramon1 @BrianJopek Good stuff! Liberal Redneck nicely sums up the dire situation. Canifornia anyone? See Barry Gander’s substack about Smart America merging with Canada

@JonChevreau @5teverin0 @Barbramon1 @BrianJopek There’s been talk of a breakaway “Cascadia” for some time. Love their flag and the idea of being part of British Columbia without having to move!
