Jimmy Kimmel's emotional response after Trump's election results highlighted the stark difference between current late-night hosts and their predecessors like Johnny Carson, who maintained a neutral stance.
Kimmel's monologue exemplified how out of touch some hosts feel with their audience, mourning Trump’s victory while providing a lengthy list of anticipated negative outcomes for his presidency.
Many viewers reminisced about the days when late-night television was not overtly political, expressing nostalgia for hosts who humorously criticized all politicians without personal bias.
Critics argue that the late-night TV landscape has shifted dramatically, with hosts not only expressing sorrow over Trump's win but also seemingly forgetting their role as entertainers.
