If Colbert has self confidence and a future, he would work with CBS and mutually agree to end his contract after this season. CBS would do it, but Colbert doesn’t have a future so he won’t.

It is a little more complicated than that. Advertisers are evaluating where they spend money. Major corporations are dropping DEI/WOKE programs left and right.

While you say the show is loosing money, the question is why is it loosing money....lower viewers or fewer corporations wishing to show advertising during the program.

Never cared for him. Not funny. Absolutely thrilled it is ending.

Schiff doesn’t realize it but he just identified the show as a Dem propaganda machine.

Would hardly matter anyway
the airwaves are so stuffed full of far leftist propaganda and brainwashing sessions parading as talk shows, news shows, documentaries, ....
one more or less? like one more drop of water in the sea of commie/nazi/progressive/leftist blather on the boobtoob

hardly noticable either way pro or con

If they replace it with reruns of some old sitcom like Mama’s Family it would probably do better - more ratings, better profits, and zero production costs. I’m not even kidding.

Well, Johnny Carson has been back on broadcast TV airing on the AntennaTV network - you probably have an affiliate in your area.

Funny bit on twitter:

“Sir, Colbert is costing us millions and the ratings keep hemorrhaging. Should we consider moving on?”

“Let’s see, who does he have on tonight?”

“Well, Senator Adam Schiff...”

“No, like the lead guest? You know the big actor or comedian?”

“It’s just Schiff sir.”

“Cancel it.”

*****

Old style network execs would have cancelled the show long ago or never given him one to begin with.

The guy was no Jack Paar.

“Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass and Colbert’s 30 viewers are furious!”

The show is gone because Colbert’s salary is too high and same for the cost of producing each episode. Cable viewership is down, so means cable companies like Xfinity cannot payout to channels as much as they used to. The Home and Garden channel (HGTV) just eliminated/massacred 5 shows.`

The shrinking economics of cable television means more popular or not, shows will be cut. Replaced by what? Cheaper to make shows I suppose. Maybe shows made abroad. Netflix proved that people will watch Korean TV with English subtitles.

Colbert needs to learn how to code.

So the moment CBS cancels Colbert they jump into action questioning whether it was done for “political reasons”, but when CBS let him stay on the air, spewing nothing but leftist politics for years, they were happily silent the entire time.
