Actor Vince Vaughn recently appeared on the Theo Von Podcast and at one point, criticized Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel and others over the fact that they have all become the same show.
This is a completely justified and kind of perfect criticism.
The only people who watch those shows anymore are raging Trump-haters who want to have their biases confirmed every night. There are no surprises. You know what these hosts are going to say about any given issue because they have hijacked these shows as their own personal soap boxes to push their political agenda.

Vince Vaughn calls out late-night shows all feeling ‘the same,’ becoming ‘agenda-based’ scolding
Actor Vince Vaughn said late-night talk shows have all become the “same” and are too “agenda-based” for people to watch.
“I think that the talk shows to a large part became really agenda-based,” Vaughn said Tuesday. “They were going to [evangelize] people to what they thought. You know what I mean? And so people just rejected it because it didn’t feel authentic. It felt like they had an agenda. It stopped being funny and it started feeling like I was f—— in a class I didn’t want to take. You know? I’m getting scolded.”
The “Wedding Crashers” actor made the remarks on Theo Von’s “This Past Weekend” podcast after Von noted how late-night shows have been struggling after only targeting “White redneck kind of people” in their comedy routines.
Vaughn added that people have likely become more drawn to podcasts over late-night shows for authenticity and to “feel like people are having a real conversation.”
“If you look at what happened to the talk shows and why their ratings are low, it’s got only to do with the fact of what you just said, which is they all became the same show. And they all became so about their politics and who’s good and who’s bad. And it’s like, imagine sitting next to someone like that on a f—— plane,” Vaughn said.

This is one of the main reasons that Greg Gutfeld has such amazing ratings. He is the only host who is doing something different. All of the other shows are basically the same show.
