After announcing the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, CBS is hard at work searching for a better program to replace their old flagship. Here are ten great ideas that would be way better than The Late Show:
Larry The Dying Leper: This show is just watching a man slowly die of leprosy. Way funnier!
Kidney Stone Watch: 90 straight minutes of a dude trying to pass a kidney stone.
That old "KaBoom" infomercial with Billy Mays on loop: Such a classic.
Cemetery Cam: Nothing but a livestream from a camera at a cemetery. Big upgrade, CBS.
The Ingrown Toenail Experience: Way less painful than the "Vax-Scene."
Dora The Explorer: Eh, pretty close call.
Mold: Watch bread slowly grow mold in some family's closet. What an improvement.
Moist Madness: People saying the word "moist" repeatedly for an hour and a half. Much less cringey.
Who Wants To Be An Orphan?: Sad, yes, but still better.
A commie screeching and crying but at the end someone comes out and whacks him with a stick: Sweet.
So many great options. You're welcome for the help, CBS.

That is, if I had a TV. Haven't had one since 1975.
0. Eye closure (both)
1. Test pattern followed by the playing of the national anthem.
Cash Cab...
I wish that would re-run all of the old Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.
It all depends on how you define tv. To me a computer screen is a type of television with much more interactive programming.
I like Cash Cab most of the time, some episodes get me frustrated, even mad, with how damn stupid some people are nowadays.
Tennis matches from the 1970’s.
For many people that's true; they watch entertainment on their computers. I don't; I use them for work and household tasks like documentation and paying bills. There's no incoming entertainment feed like there is with a true television.
But there is a lot of crossover, so I grant you the point as it applies generally.
Reruns of Red Dwarf.
12. Stacey Abrams workout videos.
13. Engineering tips on how to reinforce the floor that Stacey Abrams works out on.
14. Reading of Mein Kamph by Candace Owens.
15. Dancing lessons from Bill and Hillary.
They should bring back Craig Ferguson. Failing that perhaps rent Saturday Night Live episodes from NBC. Out of 50 years I’m sure they can squeak a few seasons of actually funny stuff out of it.
No ‘Barney’ reruns?
Bring back the old Rush Limbaugh TV Show from the 90s! Guarantee you the ratings would be better. Let Bo Snerdley (Rush’s right hand radio guy) produce the show.
The test pattern would be more entertaining
The network is better off showing Seinfeld/Friends reruns.
Paint Drying: The Sequel.
Dems uttering truths: The Sound of Silence .
It’s Babylon Bee not The Bee.
