I don't care. I stopped watching Colbert when he left the Colbert Report, just like I stopped watching Daily Show when Jon Stewart left. There are new avenues that accomplish the same thing for cheaper now. I'm glad they lasted as long as they did, perhaps they could have lasted a bit longer in their original formats, but the corpses were kept alive for way too long.

I follow the talent. I missed Stewart a lot. I did watch Colbert when he took over, but not impressed with those after that. Then watched Colbert on late night over Fallon, just for the monologue (not that into the games Fallon plays) and switch channels to watch whatever guests are on the shows...or none if none interest me. I'll watch the Daily Show again now, just on Mondays when Stewart is there.

There will be outlets for their humor...and messaging.

Which is why having a President with skin as paper thin as Trump and a willingness to go after people who make even the slightest joke about him is a bad idea.

Trump won't even go to the press dinner where they traditionally make fun of the President because his ego can't handle beong mocked.
He's the flakiest snowflake who ever flaked.

Your loathing for another country’s president is hilarious.

Colbert can try his craft independently but I doubt it will work.

Whoever claimed that is lying. The show would have been canceled years ago if that were true.

Live network TV shows are the platform that is dead, and Colbert is a relic that became expandable, as late night shows have long been nose-diving in viewership -- really well before the streaming revoltion. But now, its much worse even, as Paramount (CBS's parent company) seeks to transition its resources towards its streaming platforms. SNL died decades ago, Late Night shows died about 15-20 years ago, and traditional evening news has been DOA for at least a decade.

Nobody needs or watches networks live for anyhting anymore, everything is going towards streaming platforms. Colbert's contract, plus his criticism of his employer, made it simply not worth the trouble to keep him around. Colbert's controversy with Trump and CBS's capitulation to his demands were simply the excuse needed for CBS to cut off dead wood. Nobody's picking up Colbert, if he wants to have success, he's gonna have to find it as a streamer on YouTube. Welcome to the future, and the present!

Why would it need to be independently? There's plenty of online offerings. Not to mention, like Stewart, he doesnt have to work.

You mean to tell me that the most popular late-night show of that time slot is a failure? You have a strange standard of what success is.

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.

That's your angle? You're gonna need a source not from CBS that says that. Because at this point, I don't trust CBS to tell the truth.

Why not lie? All signs point toward CBS' cancelling the Late Show because of political, not financial, reasons. Look at how they capitulated to tRump with 60 Minutes. Now this.

But what source would you trust on the financials that would know better ?
