I love YouTube and I love being on YouTube because all you really want deep down is for as many people to see your stuff as as you can.
And I know that it has hurt because it is so easy to watch the monologue on YouTube.
Now, I know that it has hurt the ratings, not just for our show, but all of the shows.
And maybe that's kind of what has killed late night TV.
More likely, the fact that we have our lead ins are a tenth of what they were when I started.
That's probably more likely the reason.
I love the idea that people in other countries are watching YouTube.
I love the idea that... Do you look at the views for your... I do, yeah.
I looked recently, and I was alarmed to see that the most watched video from your show had fewer views than the average Mr. Beast video.
And I don't know what that says about the state of the world, but... I think it says Mr. Beast is kicking ass, is what it says, yeah.
Yeah.
Well, you know what?
There is a big difference.
When you do the show every night, you're not going to get as many views.
But we still, I mean, I woke up this morning, there were 2.2 million views of my monologue the night before.
So for everyone who says late night is dying, it's just not true.
We still have, you know, probably at three and a half million right now.
We'll still have five, six million people watching the show every night.
That's a lot of people.
I mean, that's more than most of the primetime shows.
