Traditionally, late night talk shows served as escapism—a place where viewers could unwind, laugh, and temporarily forget their worries. Over the years, however, many of these programs evolved into platforms for political discussion, often one-sided and partisan.

This shift alienated many audiences who simply wanted humor, not partisan rhetoric. As ratings plummeted, many shows struggled to maintain relevance, eventually leading to cancellations.
