    Canned laughter and “stars” I just do not give a shit about. I’d rather watch some youtuber give me their take.

      I really like the Daily Show interviews. They’re usually with authors and subject matter experts rather than just straight celebrities. When they do have celebrities on I find they’re more interesting and not just “famous actor with forced anecdote” but more someone with an idea or perspective to share. Whereas, for example, I love Colbert’s monologues but once we get to the celebrity piece I lose interest.

      I always tuned out when they got to interviews. I was just there for stuff like Conan going to Cuba or messing around with interns or playing video games.

      How about neither. Turns out I don’t care about YouTubers just as much as I don’t care about Kardashians.

      There are a few exceptions where the content speaks for itself like Alt-Shift-X and Climate Town.

      A difference with those vs late night shows is I am seeking them out, not just passively watching a thing.
