Conan's 12:30 show was apolitical and genuinely funny for as long as it was on. You can do that, but you have to have Conan's particular absurd genius for silly and smart, and nobody but Conan does these days.

Then Conan did an apolitical 11:30 show and ... Jay killed it.

And you don't (and they didn't) hire the host of the Colbert Report to run an apolitical talk show
