This is how it works when you get laid off. And everyone else is afraid they’re next.🤣

[Trump20162020]

Good, cancel Jimmy Kimmel next.

[rktman]

Please, please tell me they’re gonna go on strike. Please.

[sten]

they no longer have funding from the US taxpayer via USAid...

so they had to cut something to keep the others on the air

Missing a quote from Greg Gutfeld.

Looked it up: Cohen makes $10 million, the other 3 about $15M each. Perhaps they be willing to pool $20 million to make up half the deficit CBS is running on Colbert’sshow. If they did that I bet CBS would kick in the other half and Colbert could stay on the air

How sad that none of the correspondents offered any suggestions on how to stop losing 40 Million dollars per year. That would have been useful.

Most likely what they thought was along the lines of "Glad it wasn't me. (YET)"

Mass wildcat strike? 😭

[daler]

As AP would say…”Greg who…?”

Colbert had a staff of 200 and burned thru $100 million per year - it was wholly a Democrat political propaganda operation. With the Democrat brand sinking to 19% approval, it had become an atrocious waste of money

[BipolarBob]

Yes, very uncharacteristic. I’m sure he had something to say but maybe it wasn’t worth noting (didn’t follow the narrative).

At $20 mil per year, the unemployed colbert will be almost as rich as pretend socialist bernie sanders.

“Colbert had a staff of 200...”

With only 26 on her staff, michelle obama turns green with envy.

[Vaduz]

My two cents clearing the air waves of trash Mr.& Mrs America most thankful.

[airborne]

Then they can share their pay with him.

And hire his 200 staffers.

[cableguymn]

If their ratings suck they are next

[frank ballenger]

Top exec at CBS, reading this thread on FR....

To Aide:
“Get everybody into the conference room. I just had a terrific idea for the replacement. Hint: The most admired woman in the world.”

[motor_racer]

Crocodile tears. They’ll be climbing over each other to grab a slice of his ever-dwindling audience to try to keep their own Democrat megaphone shows on the air.
