LATE NIGHT ASSEMBLE!

I miss seeing Stephen Colbert, and I see a reason for late night hosts to be concerned. The longer the striking writers continue to walk the picket line, the tougher it’s going to be to get viewers back in the routine of watching late night shows. I don’t have a Spotify account, but if I did I’d listen to Strike Force Five.

“Wherever else you get your podcasts” isn’t correct, because if Strike Force Five were available on TuneIn, and it isn’t, I’d be able to embed a player here. Spotify doesn’t allow that, which is one reason why I don’t have a Spotify account.

The problem for striking writers and actors is the massive amount of content that’s available for streaming. For now, viewers aren’t feeling a loss of new programming.

New Kid on the Block

This would have been better for Valentine’s Day than on President’s Day, but I hadn’t heard it until now, thanks to Pandora. 20-year-old Stephen Sanchez, going with a retro sound that has me wondering if his mother is a Chris Isaak fan.

97 million views! Sanchez was on Colbert last year. I usually only watch music acts on his show that I already know. Just shows to go ya.

P.S. Something about that song reminded me of something else, but it took a while to realize it was this.
