Comedian Vince Vaughn said the lack of authenticity and a political agenda has led to the decline of late-night television in an interview on Theo Von’s podcast, “This Past Weekend.” “The talk shows, to a large part, became really agenda-based,” Vaughn said. “They were gonna evangelize people to what they thought. And so people just rejected it because it didn’t feel authentic. It felt like they had an agenda. It stopped being funny, and it started feeling like I was in a f*cking class I didn’t want to take. But if you look at what happened to the talk shows and why their ratings are low, it’s got only to do with the fact of what you just said, which is they all became the same show. They all became so about their politics and who’s good and who’s bad. Imagine sitting next to someone like that on a f*cking plane. Bro, you’d be like, how do I get out of this f*cking seat?”
