Study: 94% of late-night guests who discussed politics were liberal; Bill Burr and Dr. Phil were the only defiant celebrities



A new study conducted over a nine-month period determined that among guests who discussed political issues on late-night programs, an overwhelming 94% were liberal.

Between October 2023-June 2024, guests of the following late-night talk shows were analyzed: "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" (ABC), "Late Night with Seth Meyers" (NBC), "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" (NBC), "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" (CBS), and "The Daily Show" (Comedy Central).

Guests were tallied as either liberal or conservative regardless of the subject matter but were labeled based on what they said in the segment. Categories of guests included celebrities and journalists and partisan officials. Former partisan officials who changed jobs were counted among celebrities and journalists. The politician label included current and previously elected office holders, staffers, spouses of politicians, etc.

The study found that the overwhelming majority of guests could be considered liberal, totaling 137 versus just eight conservatives.

Host Stephen Colbert has the highest discrepancy between hosting Democrat and Republican officials, at a ratio of 14:1. Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, and Jimmy Fallon did not host any Republicans at all.

The various "The Daily Show" hosts, however, hosted the most with four. The Comedy Central show had Republicans Nancy Mace and Nikki Haley on its program, while Colbert's Republican of choice was Liz Cheney, Media Research Center reported.

'Late-night hosts have abandoned comedy to dutifully deliver regime-approved talking points in lockstep.'

For Democrats, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Bernie Sanders, and former Obama staffers were just some of the left-leaning individuals who were welcomed on the shows.

In terms of journalists and celebrities, 104 liberals were interviewed versus just three conservatives.

Colbert again had the most partisan showing with 34 left-wing interviewees and none from the right wing. "The Daily Show," on the other hand, had 29 liberals compared to three conservatives; Meyers went 21 to zero.

Those who were tallied in the conservative category weren't exactly hard-line Republicans, either. The three who were noted as journalists or celebrities were Dr. Phil, author Jonathan Haidt, and comedian Bill Burr, who makes it a point to consistently mock both sides of the political spectrum.

The most frequent appearances by partisan guests were led by a fellow late-night host John Oliver, who had seven guest spots on the shows. MSNBC's Chris Hayes, CBS's Gayle King, and CNN's Jake Tapper were some of the more frequent guests as well. Host Meyers himself made three appearances on the circuit.

Other notables included Arnold Schwarzenegger, CNN's Anderson Cooper, and ABC host George Stephanopoulos. A complete list of guests is available online.

"Late-night hosts have abandoned comedy to dutifully deliver regime-approved talking points in lockstep," political strategist Kingsley Wilson told Blaze News. "The only thing amusing about these hosts is their inability to connect with the average Americans outside their elitist bubbles."

"It's no wonder late-night TV is losing viewers and money faster than Joe Biden loses his train of thought," Wilson joked.

Chris Cuomo DESTROYED in debate over COVID failures



Not only is Chris Cuomo now openly questioning the narrative he helped spread during the pandemic — he’s talking to Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” about it.

And while he often isn’t right, at least he’s willing to talk about it.

In a recent episode of “The Chris Cuomo Project,” the pair sat down and debated the massive list of failures that occurred under the government and media’s watch not so long ago.

“I think the vaccine was not a vaccine, the vaccine did not work,” Rubin says to Cuomo, who then shoots back, “It works.”

“It’s why the hospitalizations came down,” Cuomo added.

“I know everyone says that, but I don’t think there’s really any evidence of that,” Rubin says. “I’m not vaxxed, they're not vaxxed, none of my crew is vaxxed.”

While Cuomo notes that Rubin and his crew aren’t the people that needed to be vaccinated, Rubin reminds him that everyone was being forced.

“That is going to be something that needs to be reviewed and scrutinized and, I believe, ultimately found to have been wrong,” Cuomo says, surprisingly.

However, he disagrees when Rubin shoots that “Fauci should be in jail” for what he’s done to the American people.

“For what?” Cuomo asks, shocked. “What’s the crime?”

“Just in the last few days he’s admitted that six-feet social distancing was largely made up. He completely admitted it,” Rubin explains. “He’s the head of the NIH.”

“The rule was from the CDC,” Cuomo argues, not budging.

“There was nothing backing it,” Rubin says, noting that wasn’t the only thing that had no backing. “There was no evidence that when you went to a restaurant, if you were sitting you could take your mask off, and COVID could only get the waiter who was standing and had to wear the mask.”

“Masks don’t work, at all.”

Charlamagne Tha God shocks ‘Daily Show’ crowd by trashing DEI with facts



Charlamagne Tha God has revealed how he really feels about DEI programs — and it’s not what anyone expected.

“The truth about DEI is that although it’s well-intentioned, it’s mostly garbage, okay? It’s kind of like the black Little Mermaid. Just because racists hate it, doesn’t mean it’s good,” Charlamagne said while guest-hosting “The Daily Show.”

“You know I’m right because every one of you has sat through one of those diversity training sessions and thought, ‘This is some bulls**t,’” he continued.

Charlamagne also complained that DEI programs actually “don’t make the workplace better for minorities” and said “DEI training is like DARE for racism.”

“You all know how effective that was. I was sitting there going, ‘Oh, there’s a ton of fun drugs I should try, I didn’t even know about Molly, thanks officer,’” he told the audience.

While Dave Rubin is impressed, he wants “to reiterate the point that he’s just reading a script.”

“These are not ideas coming out of his brain. I don’t know that they would have given that exact script to Jon Stewart because they do believe in this neo-racism,” Rubin says.

While Charlamagne was most likely reading from a script, Alex Stein is glad this script is being read.

“He does make a good point that when you make everything about race and gender, that is inherently racist,” Stein tells Rubin.
