The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

And Last Week Tonight with Jon Oliver.
For the late shows I like Kimmel well enough, but he just doesn't have the same charisma as Colbert.
I know this is a matter of personal preference but I absolutely cannot stand John Oliver. Every joke feels so tangential and contrived that it's nearly a non sequitur à la Family Guy cutaway gags, and almost none of them ever seem to land for me. Then again, I think the target demographic is moreso Gen X than younger generations so maybe that's why.
Yeah I feel this, and I feel like it's gotten worse. It's often borderline "omg so randumb!!1!eleven! Holds up spork" type shit
(oops, it's John, not Jon)
That makes sense and I've felt the same with a few bits they've done recently, and they harp on things a little too long sometimes (Lyndon Johnson's nuts, for example), but I still think he/the writers make compelling arguments and present them in interesting ways.
It's amusing and informative, perfect for laugh-crying about the state of the world.
I think people underrate the other hosts on that show. Desi Lydic, Jordan Klepper, Ronny Chieng, and Josh Johnson are all outstanding. Store brand Rob Riggle guy is OK.
Store brand Rob Riggle
Hey! You can't say that about what's his name
Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.
Also I highly doubt Colbert will just retire or go away. He'll probably do live shit or a podcast until he gets another show going.
I dream of the day he joins Team Coco.
It would be perfect.
COnan & COlbert.
Seth Meyers. I actually think he's a better late-night host than Colbert, though I like them both. Seth is much more willing to let his staff take risks and do silly experiments that may or may not work. I think landing the Late Show gig infected Colbert with "Smart White Guy Whose Success Renders Him Unable to Smell His Own Farts" syndrome. Not that he's not a talented comedian, he is, but after the show found its footing it started to feel pretty same-y to me.
Seth is my favorite late night host. His Closer Look segments are great.
Tim Heidecker and whatever pure good he and The Onion keep doing with Infowars
Daily Show? Last Week Tonight minus the guests?
Walter Masterson is probably the closest I can think of when he baits MAGA.
Not since Sir Michael Parkinson died.
Is Morton Downey Jr still on?
