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

[Fearandloathing]

I love Colbert's opening monologue, am ok with Kimmel's and can take or leave Fallen's.

I find I'm also turned off by Fallen's games and his stupid banter with the band and sidekick. I can rarely watch his monologue all the way through.

I almost never watch the guests. Unless there's someone really entertaining on (Steve Martin & Martin Short for example) I turn the TV off after I watch the opening monologue.

I don't own a television and haven't since the 90's.

Its boring. Commercials suck and any news is limited to only hat they have pictures of.

I worked as a television news reporter for 11 years. Trust me, there is nothing worth watching by the time they get it to air. The only coverage worth watching is live....live anything.,

Everything else is cardboard and bullshit. Those news sets they have? Cardboard and plywood. I've put my first through two of them.

Trump and the oligarchs that bend to his demands are too arrogant to understand that you don't mess with comedians.





That they could have for example learned from the song and dance number at the end of this video after John Oliver won over Murray.

God he was an annoying stupid little B!otch who hated the Facts !

It still matters.

Only about as much as VCRs and VHS tapes matter. It's nearly completely extinct as a format, along with network television as a whole.

This is probably the gayest thing ever on television. So he at least has that.

So true.

 

[Hello My Son]

So true.

I honestly think that in the next few years, the network channels are all going to be repurposed to solely support their parent companies' respective streaming services (CBS/Paramount+, ABC/Disney+, NBC/Peacock) and that the channels themselves will no longer create new original content. You already see the slow mergers of this happening as we speak. It's only a matter of time before current original programming is fully migrated over to their streaming platforms and the channels are either retired or completely reformatted somehow.

This is the second gayest thing. The word "meltdown" is so overused on social media today. But this is what it looks like:

Well that's just it. Each of the big 3 networks still have late shows. And each of the 3 networks have been losing ground to streaming and cable networks for a decade now. THe late night shows are probably no different in terms of viability than the prime time shows...at least the late shows are current, relevant, and entertaining.

In terms of financial viability, network programming in general is not impressive.

Rob Schneider nails it

Whole thing should be CANCELLED.

Interesting. If this is what "meltdown" looks like, I wonder what 2am rage posts on social media are.

What "whole thing"?

They were apolitical?
