With the unceremonious ends of “Full Frontal” and “Desus & Mero," it's clear that late-night TV, which proliferated rapidly during the Donald Trump years as cable networks and streaming services raced to tap into an appetite for fresh satirical voices, is in a moment of contraction.

Regarding the paragraph near the end of your linked story that includes the verbiage "yet another sign that progress, which once seemed secure, is now being rolled back "

Why are so called "progressives" unwilling to acknowledge that there is a pendulum that swings, both ways?

Diversity cannot exclusively be "left left left".

The LA Times headline read:

The late-night 'recession' is here. And it will hit underrepresented voices hardest

Really? Which one of the show hosts were conservative?
