Episode: Is It Curtains for Late Night?
Description: Has Stephen Colbert rung the curtain down on a genre that stretches back to the start of television? Andrew Malcolm and I discuss what made it work for Johnny and Jay, and why the genre is doomed in the era of Regime Comedy. We also discuss a much-needed rethinking of Barack Obama's legacy, and why Donald Trump's trade success confounds both Democrats and the media.
