CBS is ending ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’ next year

When you don't have any facts, all you can do is call names. It's capitulation and liberals are good at it.

It's the typical leftist response. If someone says something they don't like, they immediately go to name calling. I've seen it over and over and over.

No, I think late night news/comedy has just run it's course. None of them, as far as I know, are financially viable. Why bother when there's 24 hour online streaming?

You're the one claiming some sort of 'knowledge', so don't be shy. I ask what do you base your so-called knowledge on. Networks are not shy about pulling shows with low ratings, some even in mid-season.
It is very telling that all of a sudden, it's the reason and not the mergers downstream. If the show was 'losing money' it didn't just now happen. TACO's spoiled brat attacks on those engaged in political satire are very telling. His FFC flunky's attacks and continued threats are very telling.
But please, you brought 'your knowledge' into this, please share with the rest of the class.... ✌️

Apparently, you missed all the knee jerk attacks the MAGANUTS and TACO fluffers launched their asinine name-calling attacks. TACO and his lapdogs do it ever day. I've seen it over and over and over.... ✌️

Lol, you resort to name calling several times in your response.

So what you're saying is you're no better than the MAGA you criticize all the time

Thread 'CBS is ending ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’ next year'

Normally this would be simply entertainment news but this comes after Colbert made a series of jokes about his employer settling a lawsuit brought on by Trump.

CNN - In a shocking move, CBS is ending “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” next year, potentially exiting the late-night television business altogether.

The cancellation will take effect in May 2026, the normal end of the broadcast TV season, the network said.

Late night has slid a LONG way from the days of Johnny and Jay. I used to think that only a geezer like me was too out of fashion to recognize the modern sense of humor. However, Nielsen ratings show I am not alone. The current crop of "comedians" is simply Not funny, to me or anyone else. Dumbest thing NBC did was to can Jay and replace him with incompetence. They deserve the lost profits.

The late night shows used to try to entertain, and entertain the entire country. They didn't cater to one side or the other. When I was growing up, politics was not considered polite dinner conversation. I can see why now.

Do the late night hosts even try to be funny still? What little I've seen of them, they're more interested in making political statements than in making jokes. Now that there are more outlets for entertainment, I guess they are okay with only appealing to a niche crowd. I think there's hope for Fallon though, I think he would embrace a more "Johnny Carson" type role if encouraged. He did inherit Carson's show, The Tonight Show, after all. But Hollywood leans very left, so it would be hard to pretend otherwise at this point.
