CBS host pours cold water on liberal outrage to Colbert cancellation, says late-night industry is 'broken'
Fox News via MSN ^ | 7/24/25 | Joseph A. Wulfsohn

"CBS Mornings" co-host Tony Dokoupil is pushing back at the liberal outrage towards his network's cancellation of "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert."

"The business is broken," Dokoupil said of the late-night industry on Tuesday. "And what no one seems to acknowledge is that the politics also changed. The business changed and so did the politics, and it got way more one-sided than anything Johnny Carson was ever doing. I think we should reflect on those changes as well. It's been a big shift culturally in that regard also."

Dokoupil and his morning colleagues reacted to the scathing monologue from "Daily Show" host Jon Stewart, who didn't buy CBS' explanation that its decision to cancel Stephen Colbert's late-night show was purely a financial one.

Woke and the trained animals of liberalism is a dying breed it’s why they called the socialism marxism and communism troops in the political arena.

A bad breed and their chaos crews are not welcomed in a sane world that gig has played to many times.

I recall CBS cancelling Captain Kangaroo (early 1980’s?) to make room for more morning news.

Hiring Colbert was the final nail. He was a well know democrat hack and they had to know that they were running off half or more of the business right up front.

And they did it anyway...

The networks could make more money running old reruns of "The Munsters".

Very true - zero production costs (already made). And I'd be more inclined to tune in for that than the likes of Colbert, Kimmel, etc.

“shelterguy

Mary was easy on the eyes, but didn’t seem to bright, maybe an act? Hard to believe she is 44 years old now.
