We talked to all the titans of late-night television, and found out why it's better than ever http://t.co/pIG1c7wSs1 pic.twitter.com/p8EgyB5jva

However, it wasn't long before the backlash started rolling in as users noticed something very important missing from the picture - women.
David Kamp, the author of the article referred to the lack of a female presence within the piece.
He wrote: "What's conspicuously missing from late-night, still, is women. 'How gobsmackingly insane is it that no TV network has had the common sense — and that's all we're talking about in 2015, not courage, bravery, or even decency — to hand over the reins of an existing late-night comedy program to a female person?"
It seems Twitter was in agreement, as users took to the social media site in their droves to complain about the photo.

I can’t quite figure out why Samantha Bee, who has an upcoming show (like Trevor Noah) on TBS (like Conan), isn’t in that Vanity Fair pic. — Kevin O'Keeffe (@kevinpokeeffe) September 14, 2015
Kinda confused as to y Vanity Fair didn't talk to Sam Bee & Chelsea Handler, who start up Late Nighters next yr. — Kevin Grüssing (@KevDGrussing) September 14, 2015
@VanityFair it's great to see so much diversity. It's inspiring that so many different white men get a chance to be represented for once! — Becca MacDonald (@BeccaMacDonald8) September 14, 2015
