New York (CNN Business) Late-night TV has always featured politics. "Trump was like a hurricane you had to cover," said Bill Carter, a CNN contributor who has written multiple books about late-night TV. "But now I think there's a desire to move on, as the country is desiring to move on." Will less Trump mean less success for Colbert, who currently has the top-rated show in all of late-night? "Trump allowed them to really be themselves with the audience, and I think that won't go back," he said.
