Conan, I hardly knew ye

“All praise to our new, beloved leaders, now goodnight”

Conan O’Connor signing off. I never caught his act in 28 years, so I doubt I’ll miss him now, but he’s probably smart to quit; with Trump seemingly gone, and all conventional topics of humor pushed beyond the pale by political correctness, where will late show fodder come from?

Four years of lickspittle “comedy” is bound to wear thin, no?

Biden: “Kampalla, I must say, your dedication to uplifting the impoverished and marginalized people of our racist nation is simply grand”.

[Canned laughter here]

Kampalla” “Joe, while it is true that you once opposed busing and called slum- students ‘jungle bunnies’, you have obviously grown into office, and now you are an inspiration and an example to all your fellow white microaggressors”.

[Hysterical canned laughter].

There’s probably a mob of young adults out there who, stoked on legal meth, will find this hilarious, but is that an audience advertisers will pay for? They only leave their sofas to go shoplifting and maybe tear down a statue or two, but actually buy something (other than drugs)? Doubtful.
