You clod. You’re not smart enough to see that it was your tanked rating that pulled you off the airways. While millions of us, including Trump, cheered your demise, you’ve only got yourself to blame.

Stevie can move his show to MSNBC—I am sure they have a slot on Sunday open for his political rants.

I'm thinking that Ellen might have room for him across the pond - maybe Ellen wanted to leave the USA for other reasons?

Taking the gloves off LOL.

Does this mean he’s going to be even more bombastic? And more angry about Trump?

Does he imply that he has been holding back so far, so now he’s really going to go after Trump?

And he’s a martyr? A host of a TV show that got canceled is a martyr?,

The victim card to a leftist is like crack…. To give it up cold turkey is easier said than done

Thank you so much for posting the subsidies going to Paramount/CBS. That’s eye opening.

Next May? That is 10 months away! Why it takes that long to cancel a low rated show?

Was an NGO helping to pay his salary? Why is he blaming Trump? Is he disputing the math reality that CBS is quoting to justify his cancelation?

Calling oneself a martyr completely ignores that he failed and was losing 50 million a year. So typical of leftists, never take personal responsibility and always blame others for their failures.

His show is going to be so unintentionally funny between now and May 2026 as he goes completely unhinged on Trump.

That's what his show has always been about. He's now the Rachel Maddow of late night.

I still can’t get over that they gave that show to Colbert instead of Craig Ferguson, who was hilarious and a very clever interviewer with a lot of unusual and talented guests. His monologues were hilarious, and his taste in music was so enjoyable. He was too intelligent for the morons in CBS’s programming.

Quoting myself from elsewhere:

I remember a guy named Mark Russell who did political stand up. He was always hilarious because he bashed BOTH sides equally!
Everything and everyone in the daily news was fair game and he was merciless. So we watched to see if he left anyone out and he never did. It was such intelligent humor that we could even laugh at our own favorites, when they were in the cross hairs!

I sure miss him and I miss that approach to humor. We never felt either patronized or gratuitously slammed. He brought so much adult wit to topics but never descended to slapstick or to high school level smears.

These so called comedians and talk show hosts right now are not intelligent enough to approach humor in that way. Instead they only challenge Conservatives generally and Donald Trump in particular...repeatedly and predictably.

It’s like beating your 80 year old grand mother at ice hockey and then acting like it’s groundbreaking humor and matchless comedy. NOT!
