    Republicans are such thin skinned wusses.....

    Colbert was doing great stuff, and CBS cancelling the show to keep the dear leader happy, what a lack of leadership.

    I was going to write instead of posting the YouTube that I remember Carson suing Letterman on the show and how I thought other kids didn't watch Carson when I was young and I surely thought only blacks watched showtime at the Apollo. I'm

    Only network talk show to ever have Rush (the band) on, interview them, and let them play. I don't watch late night much at all anymore. But, Colbert was always entertaining if not a bit too silly at times imo. And, I give kudos to him and the show for shining a spotlight on my favorite band.

    Get a grip.

    Colbert was canceled because nobody watches and the show was losing money hand over fist.

    He wasn't funny and nobody was interested in his liberal screed anymore.

    apparently "lawmakers" are going to get to the bottom of this

    Lawmakers Question Whether CBS Canceled Colbert’s Show for Political Reasons
    Paramount, the network’s parent, recently agreed to pay President Trump $16 million to settle his lawsuit over the editing of an interview on the CBS News program “60 Minutes.”

    https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/18/us/politics/stephen-colbert-canceled-trump-lawmakers.html

    excerpt:

    Democratic lawmakers are questioning the timing of CBS’s announcement to cancel “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” which came days after Mr. Colbert criticized the network’s parent company for paying President Trump $16 million to settle a lawsuit.

    Hours after CBS executives characterized the move as “purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night,” lawmakers began suggesting that the cancellation was linked to Paramount’s recent settlement with Mr. Trump. Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts wrote on social media that the settlement with Mr. Trump “looks like bribery,” and Representative Pramila Jayapal of Washington said, “People deserve to know if this is a politically motivated attack on free speech.”

    The left doesn't like lawfare when it's turned on them.

    It is to please the Diaper-wearing, small hands and scrotum current resident of the White House so a merger will be approved.

    WRONG.....

    Here is from GROK:

    Despite being the #1 late-night show for nine straight seasons, CBS will end The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

    Nine straight years at number 1 huh....weird.....no one was watching, might want to start getting news from ACTUAL sources instead of FAUX news....son.

    As for losing money, maybe, but you never trust movies or TV they move numbers around to stop from paying royalties and bonuses.....

    The left doesn't do LAWFARE that is the RIGHT projecting.

    The left never once used the DOJ as a politcal tool, meanwhile the PEDO in charge Trump is doing it on a daily.

    Hell no one on the left voted for a convicted felon and pedophile, yet you did.

    Even if you are the #1 late-night show that doesn't mean ratings are good. It means ratings are better than shows people also aren't watching.

    Nobody watches. That's why they were losing money. Is that a hard concept for you?

    “The Late Show” was losing money and there was no apparent path to turning around its financial position.

    But CBS insiders insist, even when speaking frankly on condition of anonymity, that the move was financially driven, not politically motivated.

    The financial picture has only gotten gloomier since then. Guideline, an ad data firm, estimates that the networks’ late-night shows earned $439 million in ad revenue in 2018 and only $220 million in 2024 — a decline of 50 percent.

    https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/18/media/colbert-cbs-late-show-cancel-paramount-trump


    Revenues are down massively and nobody wants to watch the unfunny liberal whining and so the show got shitcanned.

    It was a financial decision. Claiming it was because of Trump is a looney conspiracy theory.
