The infamous Vanity Fair late-night photo featured 10 men, six of whom who started in their current jobs in the past two years. That’s six men hired "amid a resounding demand for a female host,” as Kevin Fallon points out. "Each time a woman is passed over, the disappointment cuts deeper. The outrage is louder,” says Fallon. "At an age when representation, visibility, and access in entertainment have become not just a goal, but a veritable cultural mandate, it’s starting to seem to those people that there may never be a woman in a prominent position in late-night. And they may be right.” PLUS: Trevor Noah reacts to Vanity Fair cover by saying women are currently more powerful than men in comedy.

If there's that big of a demand for it then let women start their own network and produce their own shows. I'm tired of this entitlement crap that demands they have a "right" to whatever they want whether or not they are qualified, just like Hillary Clinton.

I do think that if a woman can do it, then she should do it. I do seem to remember Chelsea Handler being a big name in late night tv a few years back. I could have sworn that she was rumored to maybe take Leno's or Letterman's place although I'm not sure.
