Conan O’Brien Compares Late Night TV to Detroit and He’s Right – But Not for the Reasons He Thinks

Conan O’Brien compared the decline of late-night television to Detroit, citing increased competition from streaming services and the internet. The author argues that O’Brien is close but misses the true reason: one-party rule by Democrats has captured late-night TV, alienating half the country. This political leaning, exemplified by Democratic guests and hosts from liberal news channels, is causing viewership to shrink.
