Have I Got News For You (a satirical show in UK) had both Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson as guests. Johnson even headed up the show for an episode.
HIGNFY, Colbert, Daily Show etc are populist satires and very safe and warm, but they are still not there to confirm or deny your political views.
The media narratives are still played into, and that's what makes these shows cosy. They go after a person's media personality, rather than anything substantial. Johnson is a hapless buffoon, Spicer had a horrible boss.
It's easy, it greases the wheels and the circus keeps moving.
