I watch Late Night talk shows (Stephen Colbert, The Daily Show, Last Week Tonight) in the morning when I get up. I think this habit started when I was pirating the Daily Show back in 2006.

This is a daily post for “casual” conversation. If you want to post or talk about something non autism related this is where to do it. For example if you want to info dump about your special interest but it doesn’t fall into “autism related” then you can post it here in the comments. All other rules are still active, be respectful to each other.

I like SNL

Some of those shows have been going on for many years. Any opinion on how they have changed over time? I’m not sure if you watch the most current or do you skip back in time, maybe there is a “golden era”.

I stay current. Let's see Daily Show has definitely gone through some changes. From John leaving to Trevor and now the current format of John once a week. Stephen Colbert is an entirely different show now vs the Colbert Report. I enjoy the Late Night but I still miss some Colbert Report. And Last Week Tonight has stayed about the same focusing on one main topic of the week.

Classic that John came back on part-time after attempting retiring. I find a kind of comfort in entertainment that addresses current events; it’s like, reality-validating, maybe I could say?
