Sorry you can’t recognize a real talent.
I won’t even bother asking who you find funny.
It doesn't really matter. None of those night shows perform well. None of them. He could be hilarious and we're still just going to watch Netflix. The vast majority of people under 60 years old are on streamers and you can always tell how old someone is if they start complaining about Fox News. Like okay, but only retirees are watching it so settle down.
You don’t cancel a show because the president had a tantrum because he doesn’t like getting made fun of. Totally unacceptable. Is that the kind of place you want to be in? May as well be in Russia.
For the scene in question, he wasnt making fun of Trump. He was criticizing his boss's choice to settle out of court, which was also presumably a business decision.
People and companies care about making money and not losing money. The number of people who are willing to burn it all down because they dislike a president who will be in office 4 years max is pretty small, because most people are relatively rational.
If most people were rational they never would of voted for Trump the first time and definitely not the second time.
I'm certain you mean, "never would HAVE voted".

But also, does anyone else watch Seth Myers? There used to be a band. Now there isn't.
Local stations also want something at 11:30 after their news as it increases local viewership.

More like 20,000,000. I switched back and forth between Colbert and Kimmel every night.

Since that's not why the show was cancelled, there's no need for you to fret. It's been stated (and cited) multiple times that the show was losing millions for the network. It's a business decision. But do continue concocting political conspiracy theories.

No need to concoct. It’s sadly reality.
Why do feel the need to defend Trump? so weird.
I feel absolutely no need to defend Trump. However, I will call out stupid conspiracy theories, no matter what they are. Some of you are just looking for things to obsess over.

It’s like a disease with people around here.

Yay, another Trumper on this board.
No, a president should not dictate what programs are on the air.
You don't have to be a "Trumper" so understand the PP is absolutely correct. OTC, the partisan rubes here are on the opposite end of the political spectrum.
What kind of word salad is that?
For those in the back of the room.
cbs needed this merger to go through. The federal government (trump) ultimately approved all mergers . cbs announced they were not renewing Colbert’s show.
The merger was then approved.
You criticize the PP as being a "word salad" and then you present this mess to us? Zero self-awareness.
