2 w. ago The Guide #209: Jon Stewart, Jimmy Kimmel and the battle for the future of late

In this week’s newsletter: Once the preserve of backslapping celebrity interviews and inoffensive segments, late-night TV is now in Trump’s sights – giving its hosts unprecedented political weightIf nothing else, the Trump administration’s assault on late-night talkshows is creating some proper old-school water cooler TV. The first thing I did this morning was fire up YouTube and watch Jon Stewart’s monologue on last night’s Daily Show.

Somewhere in Scotland, sometime in the 1980s. It has that hazy quality you get with old colour prints: warm but also somehow melancholy. I’m wearing blue jeans, white trainers, an army surplus jumper – and am perched on a standing stone.My mum gave me the photo when I turned 50. She found it up in the loft. Some of these childhood pictures, souvenirs of trips with my grandparents to historic sites, have the place names written on the back. This one was blank, a tantalising mystery. Though I didn’t recognise the location, something about the landscape and quality of light suggested it was Islay, an island I’d visited just once – when I was not quite 12. So I decided to see if I could find the spot, slipped the photograph into my notebook and set off. Continue reading...
