Late-night still matters and @StephenAtHome and @colbertlateshow have been working to engage young people digitally (just like @jimmyfallon). This #colbertlateshow news is more about politics than $$.
Excited to be a part of #ComedyStudies' special issue on the future of #politicalcomedy. I didn't expect this piece out so soon, but here's my take on what #latenight and #politicalsatire programs need to do to remain relevant for young audiences:

Lots of thoughts on this as someone who studies the impact of #latenight and #satire. It’s not about money, it’s about politics. Ratings high, but it’s still legacy TV. CBS Canceling ‘Late Show With Stephen Colbert’ After Next Season via @NYTimes.

Had a fun time talking with @WOSUAllSides about the political impact of @nbcsnl. A big fan of @rockhall - wish I was heading to Cleveland soon for the exhibit!.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has a new exhibit honoring the 50th anniversary of Saturday Night Live, the irreverent late-night show that pokes fun at everyone, from politicians to weekly newsmakers. The show has also featured big name musical artists.

This guy is great. Love his honest answers about how bad these tariffs are … thank you @JustinWolfers #tariffs.
"No one in the business community feels confident that they know the status of tariffs next week, next year, let alone what really matters, which is next decade," @JustinWolfers tells @IAmAmnaNawaz. "As a result, we're going to get all of the costs of the tariffs, but none of
