The late-night problem and more: Letters to the Editor — Jan. 4, 2026

The situation ever since President Trump got on the scene has been that late-night comedians have abandoned their primary purpose: to tell us jokes (“So long to a year so wrong,” Kirsten Fleming, Dec. 30).

What they consider “jokes” are daily dosages of comments telling us how morally superior they are. The humor they give us is like a fart; it smells bad and after a while, you don’t stick around. This is why their ratings decline.

Why don’t people who use the subway just pay the fare like the rest of the city’s working warriors (“Trapped-hanger pain,” Dec. 27)?

If you’re getting stuck in the most recent incarnation of the turnstile, it’s because you’re not using your head.
