‘In a F—King Class I Didn’t Want to Take’: Hollywood A-Lister Blasts Late-Night Hosts’ Political Agendas

Vince Vaughn says late-night shows lost viewers by focusing on politics and targeting Trump, while podcasts gained popularity as audiences seek authenticity, he said.

  • On Tuesday, Actor Vince Vaughn criticized late-night television on the This Past Weekend podcast with Theo Von, claiming popular shows have become "agenda-based" and monotonous.
  • Vaughn said people rejected these shows because they "didn't feel authentic," arguing programs prioritize specific viewpoints over humor rather than delivering genuine entertainment.
  • "They all became the same show," Vaughn emphasized, noting how hosts focus on "politics and who's good and who's bad" rather than delivering laughs.
  • Media analysts observe that late-night programming has transitioned from general comedy to nightly opinion, contributing to significant drops in viewership amid changing digital habits.
  • Kimmel and Colbert continue to target President Donald Trump, with Kimmel recently claiming Trump launched "Operation Epic Fury" as a "distraction" from Epstein files.
