Part 2/9:

For nearly eight years, late-night hosts have capitalized on what many refer to as "Trump derangement." In a staggering report from the Media Research Center, it was revealed that 98% of the political jokes made by these hosts leading up to the presidential election targeted Trump. Out of 1,463 political jokes documented, a whopping 1,428 were centered around him. This manic focus, while entertaining for a specific audience, failed to translate into influencing the electoral outcome. Instead, it appears to have solidified the hosts' reputations as partisan figures, as serious comedy quickly devolved into late-night rants.
