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.

He’s all over YouTube. Pluto has a channel for that, too, I think.
Johnny Carson reruns are on AntennaTV at 11:00 PM EDT.
Watching hardcore plumbers unclog houses/businesses main lines.
OT, but a funny story: Our sewer backed up, and the plumber who arrived was a nice looking young man, all dressed up in brand new looking expensive boots and nice clothes, like he was about to take a date to an upscale western bar. There he stood, looking at a clean out overflowing with poop and toilet paper. First thing he did was make a phone call. I get the idea he was feeling overwhelmed. He got the line open, though, bless his heart!
11, 12, 13, Reruns of Sky King, My Little Margie and Howdie Doodie.
Maybe he'll go to Ukraine. Maybe he'll go to Afghanistan, Iran, or Haiti. Place your online bets before we spin the wheel and find out.
6b. Dora the Deported
14. Vintage re-runs of Sunday Sermonette, followed by the Star-Spangled Banner.
For the first few years, it was movies — some good, some bad. After that it was mostly reruns of CBS shows, and even of older shows from other networks. There were also a lot of made for TV movies in those days that could be shown as repeats.
Nowadays, the networks aren’t even really making that many drama or comedy or mystery series. It seems like it’s mostly game shows and reality TV. Still, reruns might do better than Colbert did. They’d certainly lose the network less money.
Yes, I've heard only good things about this new project from Larry David and Barack Obama.
Man, how could they leave out the live cam at the Waffle House or Walmart?
They could just run re-runs of popular old shows they have the rights to and probably make more money - zero production costs.
That show has been broadcasting back on the air every night for years on the AntennaTV network.
What? In this day and age... Do we not have a “Paint Drying” channel on YouTube to watch?

Followed by "snow" and barely audible but menacing poltergeist voices.

Only one choice: Benny Hill reruns...

In the old days of TV, late night TV showed old movies.
