      Also good luck calling *British comedian* a nobody or irrelevant. One major skit of theirs is to be self depricating, since British humor also in general is dry and self-depricating at times.
      As seen here "Oh he called me irrelevant? That is completely correct". Call them bad at comedy and they will agree happily to your face.
      Pretty much "Hey DeSantis, thanks for giving me a good pitch ball from which to kick couple jokes".

      To be fair, not even Johnny Carson could hide his distaste for guests that he wasn't crazy about having on his show.
      There were times when he was forced to have guests just because the network was promoting a TV show or a movie.
      In those cases, Carson would just ask a few questions and let the guest talk and talk until his or her time on the air was over.
      One such guest was Bob Hope. Who had a lot more power and influence than Carson did at NBC. So whenever Hope had something to promote, he would ask to be on Carson's show. Almost unannounced. Much to the frustration of Johnny. Who had to tell their other guests to reschedule their appearance for another time.
      Carson admitted to close friends that he didn't like Bob Hope for that reason. And if you watch his appearances on Carson's show, you can tell that there is some friction between them.

      I always catch Colbert's monologue. His style of comedy jives with me more than Seth's, and after watching him for 15+ years going back to the Report I just genuinely like watching him. I would say I see more of his interviews than Seth's simply because they're around after his monologues, but there are quite a few Seth Meyers where you can really tell that the relationship shines through. John Mulaney is a big one, and I have big respect for how Seth handled a very raw, personal and not super funny interview with Mulaney over his struggles with addiction.

John Oliver does portray a very particular viewpoint, I'll give you that. More importantly though, he doesn't fail to back it up with realistic arguments, compelling ideas, and most importantly, actual facts. What separates him and so many others is that John Oliver is so much less reliant on fearmongering and scapegoating to prove a point, and rather than rely on the status of a network like Fox or CNN, his show succeeds because it is skillfully crafted and well-oiled, and people actually take time out of their day to seek it out because of that.

      Have you watched Russell Howard interview him for ‘The Russell Howard Hour’? Comedy gold. Makes me cackle every time. (I return to it about once a year, for a reliable boost of serotonin.)

    OMG! The "supressed glint" comment (+ Seths reaction!) and then leaning into the "Shazam 2" to comments is just brilliant! 😊 Seths "How DARE you..!!?" 🤣 just hits the right spot..! I always love the interactions between these two guys, Stephen Colbert, Ricky Gervais and Steve Carell. Ive never cared about the movie stars interviews...
