When someone mentions a late-night talk show, you probably think of that show with the guy who makes bad jokes supplemented with a laugh track or that show you keep on when you’re using your laptop but want background noise.
However, in recent years, these late-night shows have evolved and play a much more important role than simply being something to watch when you’re kind of tired, but not tired enough to go to sleep.
I am referring to The Late Night with Stephen Colbert, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver and The Daily Show formerly with Jon Stewart, now with Trevor Noah.
