Late Night TV Ratings in Decline
Late night television ratings have experienced a significant decline in recent years, partly due to the effects of the writer's strike and the rise of streaming services. Shows like The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon have seen a substantial decrease in viewership, with ad revenues across late night down 60% from their peak in 2016. The genre is going through a reshuffling, with the cancellation of some shows and the potential retirement of Saturday Night Live creator Lauren Michaels. While the presence of Donald Trump boosted ratings temporarily, a long-term solution for the decline remains unclear.
