Celebrities Are Boring Now

Apr 26, 2020 05:55

YouTuber Jarvis Johnson covers a wide range of celebrities who are either boring, out of touch or in need of a team during this pandemic. He also highlights how daytime and late night shows are struggling to adapt to a “at home” approach and points out how some hosts need their teams to help write and produce their shows - especially that flop ( Read more... )

I still enjoy Seth Meyers and Stephen Colbert's at home segments, but that's because they deliver good monologues on the news. I can't stand Fallon and Corden, but it makes sense they'd be worse given their shows seem to rely on games and cheap bits.

My bf watches Trevor Noah in addition to Colbert and Meyers. It took Meyers a couple of eps, but he has gotten a lot better.

So much of Jimmy's material at home is LOOK AT MY CUTE KIDS. I'm uncomfortable with him putting them out there that much but also..............are people stuck at home with their own kids really dying to see more children?

Jimmy Fallon was never funny. How in the hell he still has the job he has, because he is talentless and not interesting at all. He tries way too hard.

I thought I disliked Fallon but jfc Corden is the absolute worst

Pretty much. I really enjoy Seth Meyers and that we still get Amber Ruffin.

crimps4 April 26 2020, 17:40:51 UTC

I adore Amber.

Fallon was never funny or good.

Same on all counts except I don’t watch Meyers. Conan is still a go to for me but I prefer his podcasts because he’s more goofy on those.

IA on Meyers and Colbert. I also really like John Oliver at home too.

gillenvillain April 27 2020, 04:06:59 UTC

John Oliver has been the best. To be fair his show format hasn't really changed so it still works.

Seth/Colbert are hit/miss.

I don't watch the others...

Grand Poobah Prize of Awfulness goes to Bill Maher (as it should). My God he was horrible before but it's simply embarrassing now. I swear he must surround himself with 'yes' people. Such bad writing.

Absolutely right about Maher. I only watch his show in the background for the anti-Trump stuff, but I was shocked how bad he is in lockdown. Doing stand-up in his backyard with a laugh track is so embarrassing.

Cringe

I watched the first show because of Bernie. I thought the 'laugh track' was knock on no audience and it might have worked on ONE joke but then he kept using it. Dude, it ain't funny. You're not funny. His jokes were always bad but they are so fucking embarrassing now. He's that asshole that will always laugh at his jokes when everyone else is giving him the stink eye. He is so stuck in his old brand of comedy and can't handle that people think he's an asshole.

I used to tune in to see if he had good guests. Nope, he gives platforms to assholes that shouldn't have platforms. Good guests are either banned or refuse to do his show now because they publicly disagree with him on air. I was actually SHOCKED he was semi-nice to Bernie.

I mean you have on one side, John Oliver and yet HBO is still airing asshole Bill. Why?
