Vince Vaughn Urges Late-Night Hosts to Dial Back Politics and Restore the Laughs
Vince Vaughn told Theo Von on This Past Weekend that late-night talk shows have become too political and agenda-driven, saying they’ve stopped being funny and feel like a class he didn’t want to take. He cited the trend among hosts like Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers and Jimmy Fallon (without naming them directly) and argued that podcasts offer more authentic, less produced humor. Vaughn also noted changing viewing habits and digital competition as factors in declining ratings, aligning with Conan O’Brien’s recent criticisms about anti-Trump jokes leaning toward anger rather than comedy.
