Are we going to mention Jimmy Kimmel?

I will be sleeping through Jimmy's rise from the dead. (srsly, I'm out by 10:30)
He'll definitely have a ratings bump from this kerfuffle. Probably won't last long, because late night tv is dead. I don't know why they don't cancel all of them, and show reruns or something in that time slot. Maybe it is nostalgia for the old days. Johnny Carson reruns come on one of the ota channels, and I try to watch it sometimes. It was nearly as cheesy as the modern shows, but it didn't have to compete with the internet (or cable and streaming), and the times were different. He did make fun of politicians, but he spread the jokes around without worrying about pissing off one side or the other. Back then we didn't expect tv show hosts and comedians to wear their political affiliation at all times, they could just make jokes about the silly shit.

The host of The Apprentice is happy.

It will be really good news if tonight's show is highly rated, because a quarter of ABC's local stations still won't be airing the show, because they are owned by Trump-loving companies. So if he still manages record ratings despite being dark in 25% of the country, that would be a real statement.

Jimmy Kimmel is set to return to air after ABC suspension, but not on this Portland station
When Jimmy Kimmel goes back on air Tuesday night, Portland's ABC affiliate KATU will not broadcast the show.

People can't watch it here even if they wanted too.

Agreed with Conan. But you're never too young or old for Carson. It's never to late to study the greats.

False: Kimmel is also streamed next-day on Hulu (depending on whether or not one has cancelled their subscription after this) and clips of his show, including the monologue, are always uploaded to YouTube. You pretty much have to actively not want to watch, to not be able to see this.Jimmy Kimmel is set to return to air after ABC suspension, but not on this Portland station

Youtube?
Cool. That means it's subject to being ratioed and repeatedly reported for hate speech.
Anyone caught the political shift on YT lately? Like... today?

You can stream it next day on Hulu or Disney+ unless you already canceled those in a huff after Jimmy got taken off the air in the first place...Jimmy Kimmel is set to return to air after ABC suspension, but not on this Portland station

I love you
I've been falling asleep early and then getting back up around 10, just found myself doing it again.

The sweet spot was around the second season or so, up until Andy left. Classic television.
A few years back, one of those alternate digitial stations was showing Johnny Carson reruns and they're so trippy. By the time I was a young adult, the format was baked in: Monologue, guest pitching something, comedy segment, guest pitching something/or maybe some slice of life folksy guest with the world's largest ball of twine or something, musical guest. The earlier Carson shows, they'd just have Buddy Hackett on and talk about what it was like to be in WWII for 10 minutes. He wasn't pitching anything, they just needed a guest at the last minute and were able to get him. Had one with a very young George Carlin, doing the hippy-dippy weatherman.

For those who have a couple hours and some curiosity, a great Carson document from 2012

DISH currently has a Johnny Carson channel on their expanded digital presence. A 24 hour channel with full episodes. They also have Carol Burnett and Ed Sullivan if you want to go on a 60's-70's Rabbit Hole.
Me personally, I bounce between the BBC Sci-Fi channel when they're showing Red Dwarf, The Top Gear Channel, and the BBC Game Shows channel.
