David Spade at the helm of a new late-night show? Viewers probably think they know what to expect. Yet Spade’s new program on Comedy Central will also be notable for what it doesn’t have to offer. …
Don’t tell that to some of Spade’s new time-slot competitors. At CBS, Stephen Colbert’s “Late Show” has thrived in the Trump era, using an intense focus on scabrous jibes at the White HouseABC’s Jimmy Kimmel has at times gone political, particularly when issues affect him personally. NBC’s Jimmy Fallon has also been testing a somewhat tighter focus on the headlines, recently doing a live program after the first round of Democratic debates.
Viewers may have a surfeit of politics at this point. “I think it’s pretty reasonable to think that mode of heightened emotional political commentary is really unsustainable,” says Geoffrey Baym, a professor of media studies at Temple University in Philadelphia and author of “From Cronkite to Colbert: The Evolution of Broadcast News.” Many late-night programs have “really reached market saturation with the whole range of political commentary.
For a long period of time, Comedy Central could do no wrong around midnight. Aided by the one-two punch of Stewart and Colbert, Comedy Central enjoyed a long moment as the birthplace of a new generation of late-night comedy. The network for a time even had a third successful wee-hours entry. Chris Harwick’s “@midnight” used a game-show format to have a range of comedians explore the nuances of digital media.
