Among some comics “Late Show” has a reputation for favoring a certain profile. “The types they seem to like are middle-aged white men from the Midwest,” the comic Amy Schumer said.

ALSO EDITED TO ADD: I lied. I don’t give a fuck about Ryan Williams.
EDITED AGAIN: I give so many fucks about Ryan Williams.
