This genuinely needs a slot on late night tv everywhere. Your team is genuinely amazing. I found this channel last week and genuinely the level of coverage you guys have with these amazing skits and Ella’s timing is mesmerizing and I’ve actually learnt about the things that matter can’t wait for another episode

[@mangscooz254]

It's legitimately way better than any late night show on TV right now. It feels like an actual team of real people actually make it I love it

[@The_Jovian]

Nah this shit would be sanitized so fast if it went to network television. I'm glad the team has the freedom to do what they want here

[@LateStageLive]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

[@zoeybarter3246]

Yooo Sidney Gish is sooo good. What a bop.

[@LateStageLive]

i love late stage more than i love my life name

[@jacobmercy823]

[@llawliet666]

Just stumbled across this show and damn it's underappreciated. That being said, does anyone know why the camera proportions are off?

[@itsonlysound]

I assume it’s on purpose for the aesthetic

[@LateStageLive]

Lack of funds!

[@patrickpagan7858]

Yay! Another one!

[@Caves_of_Altamira]

Sidney Gish at a transgender late night show... she's gonna have to cut that "No Dogs Allowed" album out of her setlist huh

great episode!! :)

[@ryle5689]

YYAAAYYYYY

[@attic5780]

criticizing effective altruism as supporting things like "jeff bezos' road to the moon" over "giving money to homeless people" is bizzarre, because one of the best and most-ea-supported charities is GiveDirectly, the sole function of which is to *give money directly to the poorest people they can access* (both in countries in the global south and here in north america) - and I've literally never heard an ea talk positively about funding the new space race, or any ea orgs supporting it.

[@theskotty6265]

This show is what I imagine public access tv in 2024 would look like /pos

We're on Brooklyn Public Access! So ur right!
