Steven Colbert invites Donald Trump to ‘Late Show’ for ‘Ambush’ president

The arrival of Colbert on CBS Late Night in 2015 meant a noticeable change in tone of earlier talk show hosts. Instead of concentrating on humor who appealed to a mass audience, the former comedy Central Star dived deep into politics and the then presidential candidate Trump made a target of frequent consideration. Colbert’s anger at the Tycoon escalated only during his first presidential term and Trump remained the most important topic of his monologues.

Former Tonight Show Host Jay Leno, 75, shot the will of Colbert and Kimmel for changing their late-night talk shows away from broad comedy and in preaching and panoring to one side of the political spectrum.

“I love political humor, don’t get me wrong, but what happens is that people do too much on one side or the other. I don’t think someone wants to hear a lecture” interview.

“Why shoot for half an audience? Why not try to get the whole? I like to bring people to the big picture. I don’t understand why you would alienate a certain group,” Leno continued. “Or just don’t do it at all. I am not saying that you have to throw your support or whatever, but just do what is funny.”

‘It was nice for me when I received hate letters:’ You and your Republican friends’ [or] “Well, I hope you and your democratic friends are happy” … about the same joke, “the funny man remembered.” I’m going, “well, that’s good.” This way you get a whole audience. [Nowadays]You have to be satisfied with half of the audience because you have to give your opinion. “
