Numbers-wise, you are correct....all of the cable late-night shows have lost vast numbers over the past decade.
Scarborough’s agent is probably talking to CBS...but I doubt that they’d even offer than $3-M a year (one-fifth of what Colbert made).
I’d like to see someone like Dick Cavett...strictly doing interviews (no more comedians).
CBS is getting totally out of late night TV…they can’t make money on it and the affiliates would like to have that time back for more profitable programming.
