What will the midterms say about late-night's impact in the Trump era?

The New York Times

The level of late-night political content would've been unthinkable in the Jay Leno and David Letterman era, says The New York Times, which asks: "What, if anything, have nearly two years of late-night Trump zingers added up to? Since the 2016 election, even the least ideological hosts have found the president an irresistible target night after night. While the shows’ primary aim is to entertain, the first major election in the late-night vs. Trump era will also be something of a barometer for how influential these shows can be, beyond goosing album downloads and box-office sales."
