Emily Jashinsky and Walter Kirn, Editor-at-Large of "County Highway" and Co-host of “America This Week” with Matt Taibbi, reflect on a viral clip of Robin Williams performing a spoof of Shakespeare on The Tonight Show back in 1991, contrasting that moment’s shared cultural literacy with today’s fragmented media landscape. They also discuss the decline of reading, writing, and shared language and warn that COVID-era learning loss may have permanently damaged the younger generation.
