 Late night goes darker.
In the pantheon of the greats, Koufax was untouchable as a pitcher, Brady will never be equaled as a quarterback, no one sang the Great American Songbook better than Sinatra, Warren Buffet certainly stands alone in his investing insights. And when it came to the late night talk shows, Johnny Carson was king.
Both he and Jack Paar, whom he succeeded, were apolitical, solitary men (Carson was divorced three times and didn’t socialize readily) who were supremely good at the profession they occupied. While some who followed—Jay Leno, David Letterman—would also be caustic and funny, they lacked the suave gravitas of Carson.
And in the aftermath of those two, we have midgets by comparison. John Stewart, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, John Oliver, Conan O’Brien, et alia—good enough, but not great. Of them all, I find Jimmy Kimmel the most repellant, because like the others he enjoys taking unfettered shots (always from a liberal standpoint) at people who aren’t there to defend themselves or return the serve. In fact, when Aaron Rodgers made what Kimmel felt was a derogatory comment about him, he threatened to sue! Not exactly a courageous warrior when someone fires back. Sort of like running home to mom.
And now we have Steven Colbert and his show sacked by CBS, with everyone and their dog claiming that it’s retaliation from the Trump administration and CBS trying to make nice. In fact, Colbert’s first year behind the desk was a train wreck—he had been a bit player for Stewart on the Daily Show—and his ratings were terrible. Then Trump was elected, and Colbert is the richest one-trick-pony in the history of entertainment. He simply attacked Trump continually, and the liberal, late night crowd, dismayed by the reality of losing two elections and the lie that Biden was “sharp as a tack” flattened by a Twilight Zone debate performance, needed that assurance that they were really “right” no matter what the evidence.
Shed no tears, because streaming is outperforming broadcast and cable TV combined, and the late night shows are going the ways of the dodo. But when these “comics” get back to the real world to make a living, they’d better remember that the studio safety net is gone if they think they can attack people from some safe space. Like Ghostbusters, who are they going to call if someone strikes back?
Oh, I know—Alec Baldwin. (He didn’t leave the country yet, did he?)
![]()  I've never felt like I needed to change. I've always thought, “If you want somebody different, pick somebody else.” But sure, criticism can sometimes still get to me. Some things are so malicious, they knock the wind out of you. —Melissa McCarthy
There's a perennial debate about whether the propagandistic tripe produced by establishment media outlets is shaped more by evil or by stupidity. Personally, I think it's both: a healthy dose of each is needed. The system design is malicious, while those who serve as its public face are generally vacant. —Glenn Greenwald
Women have said the most malicious, disgusting things about me. But I know that when somebody comments about you, good or bad, it is 99 percent of the time their projection of how they feel about themselves. —Paz de la Huerta
Nobody on this earth has the right to tell anyone that their love for another human being is morally wrong. —Barbra Streisand

I just asked my AI (in other words, I asked myself) “How best to promote a new offering to my ideal buyers?” And here’s what I was told:
To effectively promote a new offering to your ideal buyers, consider the following strategies based on the context provided:
- Understand Your Ideal Buyer: Identify who your ideal buyers are by focusing on those who have a true need for your value and can pay for it. They should be individuals who are passionate about your offerings and can benefit from your innovative ideas and process skills.
- Leverage Existing Relationships: Use your current network and ask satisfied clients for recommendations. A pleased buyer should have no hesitation in sharing your value within their company, as long as they are not shortchanged.
- Focus on Value Proposition: Clearly articulate how your new offering enhances the goals of your buyers, both professionally and personally. Demonstrate the value and benefits they will gain from your offering.
- Utilize Onsite Opportunities: When visiting client sites, take the opportunity to market your new offering to potential buyers within the organization. This can be done gracefully by engaging in conversations and showcasing the value of your offering.
- Create Relevant Content: Develop content that resonates with your ideal buyers, such as case studies, testimonials, and success stories that highlight the impact of your offering.
- Engage in Direct Conversations: Initiate conversations with potential buyers by asking questions that test their interest and need for your work. Focus on understanding their goals and decision-making processes.
- Highlight Unique Value: Emphasize the unique aspects of your offering that set it apart from competitors. Avoid focusing solely on methodology or technical details; instead, demonstrate how your offering will make the buyer better off.
By implementing these strategies, you can effectively promote your new offering to your ideal buyers and increase the likelihood of successful engagements.
You can ask for an ideal proposal formant, and then ask the system to fill that format using information you have gathered. Of course, you can first ask the system for what information to gather, and what the best questions are for that purpose! Accelerate your results, brighten your sky!
July only, celebrate the Fourth with $2,625 in benefits for your $600 purchase.
