    SALT LAKE CITY — The Nuggets might finally be breaking a decades-old curse in Utah.

    The Daily Dot, Monday - 12/30/2024 - 10:01 PM

Hosts like Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, and Jimmy Kimmel appealed to our funny bones in the face of a ludicrous Republican Party, whose billionaire clown-king leader makes it a lot harder to be funny four to five days a week. Here are 13 notable moments from late night, in what may have been the longest year on record. .
