I Suppose This Means That Late Night TV Is Going To Evolve Into Video Podcasts On TV

It would make a lot — A LOT — of sense if some of these video podcasts on YouTube ended up on TV during the late night timeframe. Hell, given the experiments that CNN is doing, maybe they’ll end up on TV during primetime.

The reason why this might happen is video podcasts are much, much cheaper to make than traditional late night TV shows. So, as such, it would make a lot of sense to just find a good entertainment podcast and drop it directly on to TV.

But we still have some time yet before that transition will happen. Probably five to 10 years.

Late Night TV Is Probably Going To Be Purged Soon

As Trump and Musk’s putsch continues to rampage through the U.S. Government and society, it seems that inevitably they will turn their attention to late night TV. As I understand it, Putin purged Russia’s late night TV as he consolidated power in the early years of his regime.

I don’t know exactly how it will happen, but it seems clear that something we take for granted — a free and open society, is about to implode into tyranny. And, as such, I think in a few months all the late night TV shows — including Saturday Night Live — will either be canceled or neutered in some way.

This is inevitable. It seems like a political force of nature at the moment. There’s just nothing we can do. We’re going to wake up and America won’t be free any more. And I suspect it’s going to happen a lot sooner than you might think.

It could be days or weeks, not months.

But, so many people are just happy to see “scary brown people” in camps that they’re willing to put up with just about anything, I suppose.
