Letterman Addresses The Vital Kimmel Issue
The issue on everyone’s lips these days? Comedian Jimmy Kimmel and his firing from his late night show.
The Atlantic interviews the dean of the late night show David Letterman, the person Kimmel patterned himself after, who feels that free speech is in jeopardy in the U.S. and that our huge neighbour to the south is on the road to dictatorship.
These things matter in Canada and we will import some of them if we haven’t already. Witness the tariffs.
But enough of this. Let Letterman speak:

Now post Johnny Carson’s views on politics on late night chat shows. Carson was the king of entertainment at those hours. Chat shows Nielsen ratings have been dropping for years (Google It) due to their political slant hence why they are no longer affordable nor wanted. Late night viewers want to be entertained not with partisan political ideologies jammed down their throats. Cannot that be for daytime hours the 18-49 group is tired of the non stop rhetoric hence the low ratings amongst that demographic.
Good thing we don’t have mass appeal talk shows in English Canada. From memory our last mass appeal talk show was Global’s Mike Bullard Show. Canuckistanians can be both sanctimonious and have, as David Letterman says, government managed media. Which we have had for eons before the Yanks did.
