‘Late Show’ with Stephen Colbert Canceled on CBS: ‘Financial Decision’​

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on CBS will not be renewed for another season, with the network calling it a “financial decision.”
The cancelation comes just days after Stephen Colbert denounced his parent company’s $16 million settlement with President Donald Trump, calling it a “big, fat bribe” for the Skydance merger.
“While I was on vacation, my parent corporation Paramount paid Donald Trump a $16 million settlement over his 60 Minutes lawsuit, as someone who has always been a proud employee of this network,” he said. “I’m offended, and I don’t know if anything will ever repair my trust in this company. But just taking a stab at it, I’d say $16 million would help.”

All 3 or 4 late nite shows, are run by potty mouthed extreme liberals, with absolutely no common sense...........John Stewart is stuck in the 1970's mindset, with Peter Paul and Mary.

Vietnam and Nixon, are long gone.

Financial huh?

The Late Show held the top ranking for it's timeslot among the "Big" 3 networks. So what does that mean for the others? How are they still financially afloat? Did something affect their revenue?

Damn shame what they've done.

The beauty of Carson was that he was apolitical and set the tone for the show and thereby the guests. And any time he did political jokes it was only low hanging fruit.

Have to agree with many of the posts here. When you move from "comedy show for everyone" to "liberal propaganda hour," don't be surprised when half or more of your audience finds something better to do.

That said, while I'm pretty sure that didn't help matters, the most likely cause here is the shift in media consumption. Nobody under 60 is listening to AM radio, reading newspapers, or watching local news at 5. If it isn't online or streaming, it is dying.

Just when you think things can't get more ridiculous. Leftist corporation axes leftist TV host, leftists lose their minds.

I have noticed the leftists lose their minds over everything and anything.
It's kind of weird IMHO. They sure are a bunch of unhinged leftards.

did Colbert ever say anything during the show that could land him, and CBS, as the defendant in a civil suit from Trump?

Maybe they are trying to head off paying him millions of dollars?

Here's the issue with Colbert. His show brought in $40 million per year ~~~~ $25 million of that went TO Colbert.

The liberal hive mind, sometimes called the Ministry of Propaganda, after hearing he's been cancelled, has gone bat-shit crazy.

I think this comes down to a a few issues.

One, he was funny on the comedy show, but that humor disappeared years ago
Two, Gutfeld is cleaning their collective clocks. Gutfeld is kinda like a political Carson, his show is very funny.
Three, the other two idiots should be shaking in their boots, the networks are shelling out a shit-ton of money, but the revenue simply isn't there.
Four, the Writers Guild is extremely pissed off, the merger would have increased there pay, substantially. But that merger with Skydance is now in jeopardy. So ya, they're going to try every angel hey can to get that merger finalized. But calling on the AG "tish-da-whale" probably isn't the best idea since she herself could be gone in a few months or years.
