He’ll end up like that Joy Reid wench. Doing a podcast from bed.
The unlikely conservative star?
Man do these people live in a parallel universe or what?
Gutfeld has been out performing all of them for years
Ijuts
How to say "I didn't read the article" without actually saying "I didn't read the article."
At $20 mil per year he should have enough put away f
To purchase a nice home and quit. But he probably can’t live without a fake adoring audience
These people don’t know what to do without a manufactured audience and a laugh/clap director
I guess I don’t understand certain things.
Colbert has the highest rated late night show, but his show loses $40 million a year?
Has CBS been subsidizing COLBERT all these years, to keep him on the air? But why would they do that? Just to provide a platform for him to take pot shots at Trump? What the heck?
“””’I can’t believe CBS is turning off the lights at 11:30 after the local news.’”””
Since this is not 1972 nobody watches the evening news, either.
Colbert’s show was losing $ 40 million a year; no contest in shutting it down. Advertisers had no interest in sponsoring. He’s not funny, he’s bitter, and he’s not particularly bright.
How about the Indian dude test pattern
Gutfeld! is always engaging to me. I’ve never watched Colbert or Kimmel, and only know about them when something is posted here or in the news somewhere.
That's all these shows are in essence, a podcast. A podcast that costs CBS $100 million each year to produce. And the podcasters are doing this so much better for a microscopic fraction of the cost.
And to a much larger audience.
Yes. Which is funny because Colbert is doing a bad job at it.
The new owner is not going to want to subsidize Colbert so he's on his way out.
It appears that ratings do not translate directly to advertising dollars, or fees to the local affiliates or cable providers. Maybe it’s just a cost allocation problem. If your show reports 20 million in total revenue and 60 million in total expenses, eventually there is a problem in a for profit enterprise.
“Who is next?”
Anyone who was being pumped full of USAID dollars to inflate their DNC propaganda message.
There are so many alternative venues for late night “comedy”. It’s not like the old days before the internet and streaming.
I think the media form has run it’s course regardless of who the host is.
Next up? Saturday Night Live.
Colbert’s show annually costs $100MM and loses $40MM, per reports.
The left is claiming that “politics” is why he’s getting cancelled.
Well…maybe. But consider this…
Left statism was driving culture generally in the US since 2008, arguably.
That would mean “politics” is the only reason why this loss-producing show existed for so many years.
Flavors of the month eventually melt.
Kelsey Grammer would make an awesome late night host!!!!
I imagine USAID was subsidizing content like this. Notice how things are being dropped since USAID was canned?
Leftist propaganda outlet, plain and simple.
